Stretch of the Week: Toe Spread Stretch

Posted on by Athletico

September’s stretch of the week will focus on an area that many of us neglect – our feet.

You will need a tennis ball and a table or hard surface to perform these techniques. As always, prior to beginning any exercise program, it is recommended to consult with your physician, physical or occupational therapist to determine which exercises are best for you.
