About Toe Stretching
|
| It is ideal for 5 toes to move and spread like 5 fingers. Genki-kunTM One-Step
is very useful for those who have a bunion or hammer toe deformity without
pain, but have difficulties spreading toes. The following are some stretching
samples: |
| ** |
Pulling only the big toe (Fig. A) |
Fig. A
Fig. B
Fig. C |
|
Since this is an imbalanced stretch, the other 4 toes don't get as flexible
as the big toe. And it may also cause abnormality on the little toe side.
It is temporarily effective for those with a bunion; however, it should
be avoided doing it for a long term considering the balance with the little
toe.
|
| ** |
Spreading both big and little toes (Fig. B) |
|
This will lead to the better results than Fig. A. Normally, those with
a bunion end up with a bunionette (the little toe bending inwards) deformity
as well, and this exercise is effective for reducing both deformities.
|
| Stretch exercise using both hands |
|
Genki-kunTM One-Step is created from this principle; stretch using both
hands. This allows you to make the muscles between toes flexible by holding
both big and little toes with your hands and then gently spreading them
out. |

|
| 2. Walking Exercise |

|
| Correction of walking |
| Makes you walk redistributing your weight to the big toe side
when wearing Genki-kunTM One-Step (which avoids you to put your weight
to the little toe side). And this corrects you to put your weight into
the right area for walking. |
