More Details About This Video:
Many times people have cramping in their foot or even in their toes, and they have a hard time getting the cramping out. You can stretch and strengthen them with a towel, and rubber bands or marbles if you have some! Place the rubber bands or marbles on the floor. Pick them up one at a time with your toes, and move them to another pile.

Put a towel on the floor, and try to crumple the towel with your toes. Then you can stretch your toes and foot by placing your foot on the towel. Leave your heel on the floor holding the towel in place, and pull the towel up and over your toes until you feel a stretch. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and do it three times.

lol i’m watching with a painful foot cramp

[samzoneinfo]

Unfortunately in my case, curling my toes triggers the painful foot cramp. But the towel stretch is very helpful.

[LERoyKins]

So simple, yet so effective. I've dealt with nearly daily foot cramps for years after a hyperextension incident, and this is the first thing I've found useful in terms of therapy and exercises. I just wish I had found this video a few years earlier... thank you!

[AskDoctorJo]

People tend to forget about the muscles in the feet until they are hurting!! You're right, preventative stretching and strengthening is just as important!!

[venomfang]

Usually my left foot is ok. But always when im ready for bed thats where it acts up. Wierd

[AskDoctorJo]

Yay, today is No Socks Day--seriously! Since I love fun socks, I don't often let my little piggies run free, but I did in this video about stopping toe and foot cramps.

[cjkftable]

Just come across this. I was in excruciating pain. Tried the techniques. Worked like magic. Will keep doing this. Thank you

[SheenDolla]

Thank you!!! I was laying in bed and felt my foot start to spasm out of no where and I knew if I didn't do something, it was about to be a painful day. Found this video and it

[AskDoctorJo]

I have some ankle strengthening exercises with a resistive band that might help if you want to check those out. Good luck!

[tarwan]

I pretended to pick up the items because I was in too much pain to go looking for things to pick up. It still worked! Thank you!

[BenG]

Toe cramp is one the worst pains I’ve experienced! Only seems to happen when I’m over stretching like on a ladder... horrible when you’ve got over 50kg in your arms 😩

[logicalweirdo]

you don’t understand how much that helped thank you 😭 i have had a cramp in my foot for about an hour and it’s gone!!!

[IreneYoungFoto]

Part One: Sounds good. I like it. I will give it a try. Part Two: I tried it. It works! And I have had severe cramping for a very long time. Thank you, Dr. Jo. I will add to my daily routine.

[mamamillwright]

Thank you for not having a long winded intro!!! ❤❤❤
In the middle of a massive toe cramp and every video but yours decided they needed to explain what a cramp was first

[grimmssocalledlife]

This actually helped a lot. I’ve been in physical therapy for both of my ankles. now I have cramping at the bottom of my foot but I had no idea why this is the part of the Physical Therapy I forgot to do.

[wrne]

Just ran up stairs my foot and middle toe cramped, happened for 4 minutes straight, I need this

[foerdie]

You’re a lifesaver my toe cramps and it keep switching legs after stretching and sparring in my taekwondo class 😂

[fakeaccount]
