How to Fix Weak Feet: Toe Splay & Curl Routine | Dr. Donald Ozello
Description: Weak intrinsic foot muscles are a leading cause of plantar fasciitis, poor balance, and ankle instability. In this video, Dr. Donald Ozello, DC of Championship Chiropractic and CCEDseminars, demonstrates two fundamental exercises: Toe Splaying and Toe Curling.
These movements target the deep muscles of the arch and forefoot, helping to reverse the compressive effects of modern footwear.
Exercise Protocol:
Position: Seated with heel firmly on the floor.
Action 1 (Splay): Dorsiflex slightly (lift forefoot), then spread toes as wide as possible. Hold for 2 seconds.
Action 2 (Curl): Immediately curl toes downward (gripping). Hold for 2 seconds.
Progression: Perform at various angles of ankle dorsiflexion to recruit different muscle fibers.
