FAQ
How do you loosen up tight feet?
Use a gentle toe-extension stretch, slow ankle circles, and a calf stretch. Introduce pressure on the toes and arch gradually.

A toe-extension stretch gently loads the plantar fascia and toe flexors when pressure is added slowly and kept pain-free.
Should foot stretches feel crampy?
No. If the feet cramp, ease off, use your hands for support, and build tolerance over time.
How often should seniors stretch their feet?
Short, gentle foot mobility most days of the week works better than occasional aggressive stretching.
