While standing at the kitchen counter, place two fingertips on the counter. Stand on one foot lifting the other heel off the floor, standing on your toes (as you strengthen your muscles, try to alternate your heels as shown in the picture above). Slowly lower your heel to the floor and repeat. Once you are on your toes control your lowering. Do not just drop down to the floor.
Repeat: 10-15 times, 2 repetitions each leg/2 times a day.
If you are a diabetic and do not currently see a podiatrist, call our Glastonbury or Middletown office to make an appointment.
