Exercises For Peripheral Neuropathy: Side Leg Raise

Hold chair or table with one hand, then one fingertip, then no hands, then do exercise with eyes closed, if steady. Stand straight, directly behind chair or table, feet slightly apart. Hold chair or table for balance. Slowly lift one leg to side, 6-12 inches above the ground. Slowly lower leg and repeat with other leg. Your knee and back are straight throughout exercise.
Hold: 5-10 seconds
Repeat: 2 repetitions on 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.
