Kneeling Toe Stretch
Toe extension, plantar fascia stretch, foot mobility
Why it works
The kneeling toe stretch restores extension range in the toes and stretches the plantar fascia. Modern shoes restrict this range, and restoring it improves push-off power in walking and running.
How to do it
- Kneel on the floor and tuck your toes under
- Slowly sit your weight back onto your heels
- Hold for a breath, feeling the stretch through the soles of your feet and toes
- The stretch across the top of the foot is the point
