Fuschia Pilates

Are you treating your feet 👣 well?

Our feet are often an overlooked part of our body yet almost everything we do engages our feet from walking, running, playing tennis, golf etc

Sometimes it is only when our feet feel sore that we realise how important they are in terms of our posture, alignment and general fitness .

In our Pilates classes we focus on the feet as our foundation in standing and moving well.

There are exercises we do in class to work the intrinsic foot muscles. Prior to this we may start with foot rolling using one spiky ball.

Roll up and down from
1. The centre of your heel to toes
2. Outside heel to little toe
3. Inside heel to little toe

Place the ball of your foot ( heel down on floor) over the spiky ball, scrunch, lift and spread your toes.

Now step the other foot forward slightly in front and stand tall.

What do you feel and notice ?

( if you don’t have a spiky ball try using a tennis 🎾 but be fairly gentle)

Foot rolling can also be done seated.
