Relieving Foot and Ankle Arthritis with Simple Exercises
Arthritis in the foot and ankle can cause aching, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Gentle mobility and strengthening exercises may help maintain function. Controlled ankle movement, resistance exercises, towel scrunches, and toe exercises can strengthen supporting muscles and improve flexibility.
Exercise should be appropriate for the individual condition, because severe or worsening pain may require modification. A podiatrist can evaluate arthritic joints and recommend footwear, orthotics, exercises, medication, or other treatment.
