Below are some of the basic exercises from the program I used to
build arches in my feet and fix my overpronation. As my strength
and flexibility improved, I progressed these exercises to make them
more challenging and added a lot of new ones. But in the
beginning, my routine would usually look something like this.
Basic Routine
Short Foot 2 5
Exercise Sets Reps
Calf Stretch 1 4
Heel Raises 2 15
Toe Yoga 1 10
1. Short Foot
2. Calf Stretch
3. Heel Raises
Heel raises strengthen several of the lower leg muscles that support
the arch. This is an exercise that can be performed in many
variations. The variation above is done standing on both legs with
hands placed on a wall for balance. The focus is on lifting the heels
as high off the ground as possible while keeping the big toes
pressed into the floor.
4. Toe Yoga
The muscles that control the toes are similar to the muscles in the
hand that move the fingers. These muscles are frequently
underused and may lack strength and control. Toe Yoga involves
alternating between pressing the big toe down while lifting the other
four toes up, then lifting the big toe up while pressing the other four
toes down. Easier said than done!
