Toe Lifts 2 of 9

Your toes are designed to have as much dexterity as your fingers. Each toe joint can flex and extend, abduct and adduct. These are basic, simple motions, but when you try it yourself, you realize how difficult it is to lift one toe without lifting all the others. It's important start a strengthening program for your feet, and work on it until your movements are fluid and the motor skills are visibly improved.



First, lift your big toe on its own, without the other toes lifting. Keep working on this movement until you're capable of doing it smoothly. Progress to lifting each toe, one at a time, until they are all in the air. Then, reverse and place them down again, starting with the smallest toe and working toward your big toe.
