Place the toe band around the middle of each big toe. Spread your feet evenly apart to create light tension on the band, placing both feet firmly on the ground. Lift the toes and forefoot of one foot, then pivot on the heel to turn the foot away from you against the resistance of the band, and place it down again in this outward-facing position. Then lift the toes and forefoot back up, slowly pivoting on your heel back to centre and placing your toes back down to starting position.

*You can do this exercise seated in a chair, or standing.

Place the toe band underneath your big toe, just in front of the joint (around the middle of the toe). Hold the other end of the band and pull gently upward to create tension. Shift your weight onto this foot, gently raising your other foot off the ground. Control the movement as you increase tension on the band to lift your big toe up, then release it back down to the floor. Spend around 2 seconds each way.

Sitting on the floor with both legs stretched out in front of you, place the toe band around each big toe. Hold onto the other end of the band and pull back gently to create tension, with your toes pointed up. Control the movement as you flex your feet and toes forward away from you against the resistance of the band, then release your feet slowly back to the starting position. Spend around 2 seconds each way.

Sitting on the floor with both legs stretched out in front and toes pointed up, place the toe band around the big toe on one foot. Hold onto the other end of the band and pull back gently to create tension. Slowly increase tension on the band to draw the big toe towards you, while keeping the other toes in place and pointed up as much as you can. Then, ease the tension on the band so your big toe returns to starting position. Spend around 2 seconds each way.

Place the toe band underneath your big toe, just in front of the joint (around the middle of the toe). Hold onto the other end of the band and pull gently upward to create tension. Control the movement as you increase tension on the band to slowly lift your big toe up, then release it back down to the floor - spend around 2 seconds each way. You should feel muscle effort under the arch of your foot.

Loop the band over both feet, positioned around the middle of the feet. Place both feet firmly on the ground, far enough apart to create gentle tension on the band. Lift the toes and forefoot of one foot, then pivot on the heel to turn the foot away from you against the resistance of the band. Then, slowly pivot on your heel back to centre and place your toes back down to starting position. Spend around 2 seconds each way.

*You can do this exercise seated in a chair, or standing.

Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place the toe band around the toes of one foot, with one end of the band against the middle of your big toe. Hold onto the other end of the band with your hand on the outside of the foot, and pull gently outward to that side to create tension in the band against the inside of your big toe. Keeping your hand in place to maintain tension on the band, lift the toes and forefoot. Pivot on your heel as you slowly turn the foot inward towards you against the resistance of the band, before gently releasing it back to centre and placing the toes back down to starting position. Spend around 2 seconds each way.

Place the toe band around the middle of each big toe. Spread your feet evenly apart to create light tension on the band, placing both feet firmly on the ground. Control the movement as you lift up the big toes only, while keeping the lesser toes stable and pressed into the floor - then, slowly release the big toes back down again. Next, press your big toes into the floor as an anchor point and control the movement as you lift up your lesser toes, before slowly releasing them back down to the floor.

*Keep those toes as straight as possible, avoiding excessive clawing or curling of the toes.
