This stretch helps to promote flexibility in the calf muscles since excess standing can lead to cramping in this region.

Stand about a step away from a wall. Place both palms flat against the wall, step your left foot back, and bend your front knee, so you’re in a lunge position. Keep your toes pointing forward and push your left heel toward the ground until you feel a stretch along your left calf. Hold, then switch sides.

| The professional care of feet was in existence in ancient Egypt as evidenced by bas-relief carvings at the entrance to Ankmahor's tomb dating from about 2400 BC where work on hands and feet is depicted 🏛

Corns and calluses were described by Hippocrates who recognised the need to physically reduce hard skin, followed by removal of the cause. He invented skin scrapers for this purpose and these were the original scalpels!"

1. While standing with your arms outstretched directly in front of you, place the palms of your hands on a wall.
2. One of your feet should be behind you with a straightened leg, with the other foot in front of you with a slightly bent knee.
3. Both heels must be completely flat on the floor.
4. Lean forward using your hips while in this position, you should notice the strain in the Achilles tendon.
5. Repeat for about 5 minutes, alternating between your feet.

To do this exercise:

1. Sit up straight in a chair, with the feet flat on the floor.
2. Lay a small towel on the floor in front of the body, with the short side facing the feet.
3. Place the toes of one foot on the short side of the towel. Try to grasp the towel between the toes and pull it toward oneself. Repeat this exercise five times before switching to the other foot.

Why might you be getting reoccurring ingrown toenail problems?

Incorrect toenail cutting is a prevalent problem; you may be unwillingly enabling the development of ingrown toenails.

There are three main mistakes made when it comes to toenail trimming:

1. Allowing your nails to grow too long - Excessively long toenails are more accountable for getting pressed inward or curving downwards.
2. Cutting your nails too short - Toenails that are cut too short are more likely to snag into the surrounding skin as they grow out.
3. Curving the corners too much - Ideally, you should avoid cutting back the corners on your toenails like you would with your fingernails.
