Seated: Point & Flex with the Toe Corrector
If you have one foot or ankle that feels stronger than another using Joseph Pilates Toe Corrector can help. Start by doing symmetrical exercises like Out and In. The seated variations with an elevated seat are here for you if the straight leg variations are not accessible. As you get more connected to your seat and open your hip flexors, replace these On a Box versions with the seated versions on the mat.
It’s called a Toe Corrector. But, you still need your full body to make this work!
Sitting on a chair, bench, or elevated surface that allows you to sit tall and access the benefits of the Pilates Toe Corrector. Combine this option with the Open and Close. When ready progress to sitting on the mat legs extended. Sit tall on an elevated surface with knees bent and legs parallel. Arms by side and reach arms by side if possible reaching into the mat.
Extend one leg towards straight. Flex the ankle of the bent knee and pull your foot and toes back towards shins. Work the muscles of the straight leg to point the foot. Then flex the ankle to release the spring and repeat. Switch legs and if needed repeat on the weaker side.
Flexed ankle is the anchor. If weak the toe might start to point. Work the muscles of the shin to hold the toes up against the point of the other foot.
