WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING
The Ace Physique team offers a comprehensive approach to help you manage foot pain–including targeted exercises to improve strength, mobility, and stability throughout your lower body. Here are a few of the areas we target, plus some example exercises to get you started. We also encourage you to make an appointment for more guidance! HAMSTRING AND CALF STRETCHES Tight hamstrings and calves can place extra stress on the feet, leading to pain and stiffness. Stretching these muscles can ease tension and improve movement. Seated Hamstring Stretch • Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent in a “butterfly” position. Reach for the toes on your outstretched leg and hold for 20-30 seconds. Switch legs and repeat. Wall Calf Stretch • Place your hands against a wall, step one foot back, and press the heel down. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides. BALL EXERCISES Using a small ball (such as a tennis or golf ball) can activate the muscles in the feet, improving stability and function. Arch Roll • Place a small ball under your foot and roll it back and forth to loosen tight muscles. Toe Grip • Set the ball on the floor, grip it with your toes and hold for a few seconds to build strength. TOE EXERCISES Strong toes help maintain proper foot alignment and prevent discomfort. Here’s how to strengthen them: Toe Spreading • With your feet resting on the floor, spread your toes as wide as possible and hold for a few seconds to improve control. Toe Raises • Lift your toes while keeping your sole on the ground to strengthen foot muscles. If you’re struggling with foot pain, try incorporating some of these exercises into your routine. And don’t forget to schedule an appointment with the team at Ace Physique! IMPROVE YOUR FOOT HEALTH WITH THESE SIMPLE EXERCISES

Myth #1: Poor Posture Causes Scoliosis Scoliosis—a sideways curvature of the spine—is due to genetic factors, neuromuscular conditions, or congenital abnormalities. While poor posture can contribute to pain or dysfunction, it does not alter spinal structure like scoliosis. Myth #2: Scoliosis Always Leads to Severe Pain or Disability Many people with scoliosis experience little to no discomfort. Mild cases often require only monitoring, while moderate cases may benefit from physiotherapy and bracing. Surgery is only necessary in rare, severe cases. With the right treatment, most individuals can stay active and pain-free. Myth #3: You Can “Fix” Scoliosis with Posture Correction While maintaining good posture is essential for spinal health, it does not reverse scoliosis. However, targeted exercises, manual therapy, and bracing can help manage symptoms and prevent progression. THREE TIPS FROM OUR TEAM FOR IMPROVING SPINAL HEALTH THREE MYTHS ABOUT SCOLIOSIS AND SPINE HEALTH 1. Strengthen Your Core A strong core provides stability and support for your spine, making it easier to maintain proper spinal alignment. We can help you identify the right exercises for your specific needs. 2. Practice Postural Awareness Good posture isn’t about “standing up straight.” Instead, it’s about maintaining an awareness of your spinal alignment throughout the day–whether you’re sitting, standing, or moving around. We can help you understand the proper alignment for your spine and provide tips for maintaining that awareness. 3. Take Movement Breaks Your body is happiest when it’s moving. Take movement breaks whenever feasible, even if it’s just to stand up and stretch. Incorporate regular physical activity into your daily routine for overall well-being.
