Gymnastics against the pips on the feet will help the foot to unload, take the right shape and even correct minor flaws in the structure of the foot. Exercises that you will perform every day, will help reduce or even completely remove the nasty bone from the surface of the thumb of the foot. Just do not be lazy.
Why there is a bone on the finger?
Conditionally it is called a bone. In fact, it is a small cartilage, which is called by nature to hold the big toe in the right position. This cartilage is very vulnerable, and if a person wears tight shoes, if he has endocrine disorders, if a person has suffered a foot injury, the cartilage on the big finger begins to curve. The foot itself does not look as beautiful as it used to be, which especially afflicts women. In addition, the gait of a woman is changing, she is no longer so smooth, because of the shift in the center of gravity of the foot, a woman may even begin to limp. What a nuisance!
But if the cartilage can be deformed, its shape can be corrected - only time and effort will be needed. Just note that in the late stages of bone formation on the leg gymnastics can not help cardinally - an operation will be needed. But in any case gymnastics has a beneficial effect on the foot and improves the health of the whole.
Exercise "Paper"
Finger your fingers by walking for 20-30 minutes or just walking on the spot. Then try to grab a piece of paper from the floor (crumpled, because you hardly lift a flat sheet), and put it in the palm of your hand. If it does not work out right away, do not worry - try again and again. Be sure to succeed!
In addition to paper, when you train, you need to collect from the floor with your toes, more inaccessible objects. For example, a lighter, a pen, a pencil, a toy for children. The main thing is to do this every day and not tired to train your toes. Then the joints of the foot will be flexible and the bone on the leg will no longer threaten them.
Exercise "Fingers Fingers"
This exercise can be done by pretending to be a primitive man. Earlier they could grab their toes by the trees and use them almost as we are now using our fingers. Modern man has almost lost this function of toes, so we can only develop their flexibility. This makes it possible to stay healthy longer, because how you train your foot depends on how long and well you can carry your body weight. Also on the foot is a lot of reflex points, and moving your fingers, putting them in a different position, you can improve the health of the entire body.
Try to move your toes - each individually. At first it may not come out, and then you will get better and better. From this you will lead to a much better state of the ankle ligament and the tiniest muscle of the foot. It is worthwhile for you to go on a slippery surface, be in an uncomfortable position, stay on your feet all day - where an untrained person can fall and break a limb or dislocate a joint, a trained person will not suffer any trauma due to the flexibility of the foot. Doing "fingers with a fan", spreading them like fingers of one's hand is one of such training exercises. Do it every day, and after 2-3 weeks you will feel the difference in the state of the feet.
Exercise "Alphabet"
Waking up, make a pleasant exercise on the flexibility of the toes. Without getting out of bed, raise your foot and write it with your fingers. First you can write 3 letters for each foot, then increase the number of letters. Ideally, you write the entire alphabet with the fingers of one foot - very soon they will become more flexible, sturdy, mobile. And then the growth of the bones will not be a problem at all. Because your joints and muscles are already trained, not static.
Exercise "Under tension!"
Strain not the nervous system, as most people do, but the toes. From this they will be more trained, stronger, the blood flow in the entire foot will improve, and the flat feet acquired at work will not be your disease at all.
Exercise as follows: bend-unbend your toes, heavily straining them at the bend and relaxing at extension. So do 10-20 times each foot. Ten, if you have not yet trained, 20 - if you are already experienced in charging people.
If you already have bones on the big toes, they need to be trained separately. Buy a rubber ring, such as recommended to kids, when their teeth are cut. Put this ring on your big toes and try to bend them with this ring.
Just tighten your thumbs and hold them in this position until 30-40 seconds, then the same time for relaxation. Such approaches with thumbs need to be done from 10 to 20. After 2-3 weeks you will be able to surprise your friends and friends with increased flexibility of your fingers and the absence of any kind of growths on them.
Exercise "pencil"
This is something similar to grabbing fingers with stop-pieces of paper, but a more difficult exercise, for those who are already tempted in training their feet. First you need to warm up the pollen and the feet themselves. For this, bend-unbend your fingers with force, holding them in the folding position for up to 20 seconds, and relaxing - the same time. Then throw a simple pencil on the floor and try to squeeze it with your toes so that you lift it off the floor.
Hold the pencil over the floor for 20 to 30 seconds. Drop the pencil on the floor again, rest 20 seconds and again - for work. So train the stops for 10-15 pencil lifts from the floor for each foot.
The interpretation of this exercise is more complex, but also more diverse. Throw a pencil on the floor, take it with two fingers of the foot - the first and second. It's like taking a pencil with your hand. If at first you do not succeed, help to strengthen the pencil between the toes with the help of hands. And - let's write. Pencil in the air letters in turns as much as you can keep the balance. Then take a pencil "in the other leg" - and write again.
This is interesting, because you can even record the time, how many can be engaged in such a grammar. Maybe you have a better left foot than a right foot, and vice versa. Then you will know which stop is worth strengthening more.
This is a good exercise for the prevention of bones on the legs or to ensure that they do not expand further.
Exercise "Bottle"
This is a very easy, but very effective exercise for those who do not bend very well at the foot, whose fingers have already begun to harden, and for the prevention of pits it is an excellent method. Sitting in front of the TV, let the stops work. Put under your feet an ordinary rolling pin or a glass bottle (the pet tar is too loose, it is not suitable for this purpose). Now roll this stick or bottle back and forth for two to three minutes. Then put the bottle under another foot and roll again for the same time.
All the exercises that you choose to strengthen the feet and prevent bones on the legs, you need to perform every day. It is possible in the morning, and it is possible in the evening, ideally it is desirable to include this gymnastics in the morning complex of exercises, and then to unload the foot even in the evening after a working day. The stone on the feet will decrease as you train the joints and ligaments, as well as the muscles of the legs.
