What it feels like
Burning pain between the toes. Wide, low-heeled footwear matters as much as these exercises. Move slowly and stop if any exercise sharply increases your pain or burning.
Also called: burning between toes, forefoot pain
Come in sooner if
numbness spreading well beyond your toes, or redness/warmth/swelling in the forefoot — these need further evaluation.
The exercises we give you
- Toe Splay
- Calf Stretch
- Towel Stretch
- Marble Pickup
- Forefoot Rolling Massage
- Ankle Circles
Your handout shows how to do each one. How many, and how often, is set for you at the clinic — it depends on the stage you are at.
Living with it
Do this programme once or twice a day. Switch to wide toe-box, low-heeled shoes, and avoid narrow or pointed footwear. A small pad placed just behind the ball of your foot can also help offload the area.
