YOUR INJURY COULD BE…
Neuroma
REHAB YOUR INJURY BY…
Gentle Massage: Massage over the area, opening up the space as shown in the video.
Icing: Place an ice pack on the bottom and top of your foot for 15 minutes, 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.
Metatarsal Pad: Place the top part just over the area of pain at the bottom of your foot.
Toe Curls: Curl your toes or pick up socks or marbles using your toes. This helps glide your tendons, mobilize the nerve and strengthen the forefoot.
Nerve Glide: While on your back, use a belt or rope and place it over your forefoot. Keep your knee straight and toes down towards you. You will feel tension down the back of your leg. Glide up to the point of tension and then down. Repeat this for two minutes on each foot. Once you are able to do this comfortable, at the point of tension, point your toe up and down.
