Pilates Reformer Footwork at LuzLife Studio is focusing in help and restore the physical fitness of your Foots and entire body; and I like to calling our healing our Roots.
The toe exerciser is a strengthening and correcting device using at LuzLife Studio by Luz, senior Pilates Teacher and teaching the Pilates Reformer Footwork Repertoire. Some people have reported that it helps correct bunions. And that is great feeling of accomplished that we can give solution to our Mind, Body and Soul.
The toe exerciser can be used as to strengthen the toe joints and align them as seen here. There are also exercises where one foot rotates away from the other, stretching the toe exerciser and increasing strength of the joint.
If you find the toe exercise beneficial you might want a real toe exerciser. I found them available online from Gratz Pilates, is what we have at LuzLife Studio here in Qatar.
A Few Final Thoughts on The Benefits of Strengthening the Feet with Pilates Reformer Footwork
Not only will effective Reformer Footwork help strengthen the muscles of the feet, but the entire lower leg will get stronger and learn to work more correctly.
Which in the long run is helping to train correct foot and ankle action for the roll-through-the-foot required for good gait work to walk & run, cycling and simple walk and any activity of your daily life.
Learning to get the length needed to work your “Flipper Toes” increases joint space for improved flexibility of the toes, as well as helping to increase mobility at the ankle.
Increased ankle mobility allows more reach through the heels with helps stretch the calf and lengthens the Achilles tendon to reduce your risk of injury.
Pilates Reformer Footwork done well can be a very valuable asset to your foot health, and is helping to train your feet to work well. With flexible Pilates feet will remember what it felt like to work well, transferring these well-trained muscle habits back to your everyday life activities.
