      Hi, Darius. We hope you have been able to resolve your foot cramps. If not, we would suggest drinking water, as cramping can be because of dehydration. If that doesn't work and you need more information outside of the video, give us a call at 503.243.2699

    I had a cramp so bad it lasted 4 days. At that point it was thought to be gout, it wasn't.
    This video showed me it was muscle imbalance, I managed to force my foot open and it instantly cured it. (Again at the point it was not known if it was foot cramp) the doctor failed me in this and this video gave me back my foot. I'm so greatful!

    For toe cramps, pull your toes up and backwards as far as you can and hold them there until the pain subsides. Doing this stretches out the muscles and gets rid of the pain. Slowly relax the toes back down as the pain diminishes.

    My father has cramps for like 2 times a week already. There was one time while he was cleaning his car, he suddenly fell because he had cramps, I quickly helped him and he told me it's because he was exposed to the water for a few hours. He got cramps everytime he's in the water for a quite some time, that's what he said. I just want to ask for an advice because I don't like to see my father in pain because of cramps, I just want to help him. I've seen some 'What to do when you have cramps' videos, and some of them should be exposed to the water, but it won't probably work for my father. But also, thanks to this video I also learned a lot from this.

    Your explanations of how the feet work, and muscle imbalances, are invaluable to people affected by fluoroquinolone toxicity / fluoroquinolone-associated disability. For me, your foot extensor work has removed virtually all diffuse, but powerful, pain in my body from hips to feet. Thank you.

      Thanks for checking out the video! There are a lot of things going on inside your foot. Foot cramping can happen at any time and because of that it can appear to be pretty random. However, it may not be as random as you think: anything from dehydration to muscle imbalances can result in cramps. Try and see if you notice a pattern!

I see that I am contacting the ground more with the balls of my feet, and I am regaining my arch ever so slightly, and the rest of my legs feel different. I am wondering what sort of progression time wise I should expect. My right foot seems to be progressing better the left. I see in some of your videos that people's rehabilitation take over a year. How would I know if and when I should add on material in the slots? Thanks, doc! Great product! I am a fan!

    It usually feels like my muscles are being stretched because usually happens when I'm stretching and in the bottom of the middle of the arch in my right foot.
    It happens after I stretch my foot and I turn it in a certain direction, I'd do it right now to see which direction that is but i can't stand that pain, plus I'd have to stretch my foot back to the left to relocate the muscle tissue.
    Anyone know how to get rid of this or do I just live with it and keep turning my foot whenever it happens to let my body get used to it so it doesn't hurt after a few weeks or months?

The first time this happened was 2 or 3 years ago and I was swimming at public pool and I wanted to get out because my foot started cramping and it hurt so much. Once I was laying on my bed playing on my phone and my foot started hurt. Then I was in the pool at my house and it started hurting again and it felt weird.

      Hi there, so sorry to hear you're experiencing recurrent foot cramping! Have you found any relief in trying the recommendations that are shown in this video- namely, using flat footwear, metatarsal pads, and doing the toe extensor stretch? The toe extensor video is here: th-cam.com/video/h2kaEOd3GcI/w-d-xo.html
      Incorporating these recommendations tend to help a lot of the common foot cramping that people experience. We would suggest consulting with your doctor about medication side effects for best results. We wish you the best in your foot health recovery.

    I have plantar fasciitis, so I’ve been advised to wear shoes with lots of arch support. However, I also get foot cramps, especially when swimming laps. What type of shoe would you recommend for me?

      I was told the same thing, after a bunion surgery. The surgery left my big toes still painful to bend back (even more so actually). After getting frustrated enough, I did the complete opposite of what the doctor told me and started wearing minimalist shoes. They tend to have a wide toe box, which was a big plus for my bunion problem, and my flat feet weren't actually bothered by the lack of cushion. Whenever I wore shoes with more cushion, my toes hurt so much more, and my arches--or lack thereof--fatigued much faster. This is just my experience with my weird feet, though. I'm no medical professional.

    Its weird, I was super dehydrated for like 9 years only drinking soda or nothing for days and never got these cramps. Then recently I started drinking only water for about a month now and suddenly get a massive cramp on the arch of my foot. I don’t understand but I was too scared to move my foot for about an hour just laying on the floor.

    • @novelist99

      It could be an electrolyte issue, possibly potassium.

    I wear flat shoes but I get cramps every time I play sports in the rain or when my feet are exposed to cold water. The only thing that gives relief is when I put them in warm water for 5mins. No exercise helps when the cramps are bad. Putting them in warm water is the only solution for me so far.

      Something to consider is a warming cream! This applied before activity will help stimulate blood flow and heat. Sombra is a brand we often recommend.

  • @eugenia1473

    What if the toes are naturally restong in an outward position? And is not something caused by shoes wit tie springs? The toes of my right foot have a more prominent upward natural position and has always been the foot that I am getting cramping. Anything mildly causing my toes to curl inward will give me cramping in between the toes ..it's so painful.

    I wear flat shoes but they do have some arch support, my arches are very high. I take magnesium and use electrolyte drinks, but have started getting random cramps in the arch of my foot, usually on the right. I wonder if it’s because I’m in deep-ish water and can’t really put my foot flat down when we jog etc.

  • @boblob3509

  • @naomismith5206
    @naomismith5206 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I get intense cramps fairly often in the sole of my feet. If I stretch my feet it can trigger them, if I press on the inner side of the sole it will trigger it and sometimes I will be awoken by a cramp. I also get these in my calves. Similar to the feet, pressure on my calves (like massaging, stretching etc) can cause it. I’ve experienced this since I was a child. Help me 😩

    • @correcttoes
      @correcttoes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Consider strengthening the muscles and increasing hydration with electrolytes. For some individuals supplemental magnesium can help with muscle cramping. There is a possibility of psychosomatic causes so maybe consider mindfulness and meditation while working with your feet. Hope these suggestions help! But always check with your doctor before initiating new treatments.

    @Overthought1 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting. I would indeed say my foot can sometimes cramp up from stretching my toe underneath my foot, but it's top of my foot that cramps (the instep), not the bottom. Why would that be?

    • @correcttoes
      @correcttoes  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The stretching of the top of your foot can definitely cramp, just like you would stretch any muscle. It’s more common to cause cramping on the shortened muscle but everyone reacts differently.

    My shoes are flat but they have an arch in it for people with arches and some comfort cushion for foot numbing sensation (it doesn't get the burning sensation like when something is actually numb) mainly for people that either jump or run a lot, I mean I wear Bright Yellow Nike Air Harachi's I don't jump a lot but they're good shoes to have my next ones are gonna be for running though.

    Would you still recommend flat shoes for people with flat feet? How does correct toes help people with flat feet?

    • @correcttoes
      @correcttoes  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi again, Leilani! Outside of any bony deformity or birth defect that is associated with flat feet that may require another form of treatment, we still find that flat shoes are beneficial for those with mild flat feet. Here is a backward way of explaining it using conventional shoes:
      Conventional shoes with heel elevation and toe tapering features cause the big toe to turn towards the middle part of the feet and the feet to pronate (turn inwards). This pronation leads to the arch making contact with the ground as it flattens. In contrast, flat, wide footwear allows your toes to spread out and gives the big toe the space it needs to avoid that deviation and to let the arch remain lifted and strengthen themselves. Let me know if I can clarify!
      Correct Toes work in conjunction with flat footwear by continuing the process of restoring the alignment of your toes and gives your feet a stable base of support, which also allows the arch to strengthen.
