The 5-Minute Daily Foot Stretching Routine

Why five minutes matters

Tight calves and stiff plantar fascia are behind the majority of foot pain I see. This short routine keeps them mobile.

The routine

1. Calf stretch — wall push, 30 seconds each side.
2. Plantar fascia roll — frozen water bottle, 60 seconds each foot.
3. Toe yoga — spread and curl toes, 30 seconds.
4. Ankle circles — 10 each direction.
5. Downward dog pedal — 30 seconds.

Do it right after your morning shower when tissue is warm.
