Sitting with your feet up for 10 minutes after a long day helps circulation.
To refresh feet, massage gently with a foot roller, or better still, ask you partner to massage your feet.
Calf stretches help to keep feet supple and keep a good range of movement. To stretch your calf and heel, stand facing a wall with feet hip width apart and slightly bent at the knee. Take one step forwards, and using your arms to lean against the wall, keep your leg in front bent and the leg behind straight. Both feet should be flat on the ground.
Lean in towards the wall, as you do, you should feel your muscles stretching in your calf and heel. Hold and slowly return to a standing position. Do this with each leg about five times. Seek further help if you experience problems doing this exercise.
Circle your feet ten times in each direction, keeping your leg as still as possible.
Consciously straighten your toes and wriggle them around.
Raise, point, then curl your toes for five seconds each, repeated ten times – this is particularly good for toe cramps or hammer toes.
Circle the alphabet with your feet. (A good exercise you can do while sitting at your desk in the office.)
