Balance Exercises Following Foot Surgery

Balance Exercises Improve Stability After Foot Surgery

Balance exercises can help in many ways following foot or toe surgery for bunions, bone spurs on the heel and other orthopedic problems. Typically, after foot surgery the patient has a stiff and swollen foot secondary to the surgery and to using a cast or walking boot. Rehabilitation including balance exercises is very important following foot surgery. One of the key components of our balance is the ability to shift our weight through the foot and especially through the first toe. Also, the first toe is extremely important in helping us to balance. Because of foot and toe stiffness following foot surgery, it is vital to emphasize balance exercises that concentrate on restoring natural balance patterns through the foot.

Balance Exercises Improve Foot Mobility

Balance exercises following foot surgery can be progressed to challenge balance and improve foot mobility. When performing balance exercises on a soft surface like a pillow or foam, it forces your foot to wiggle and wobble and for the foot muscles to contract, correcting for changes in the balance point. That is an excellent way to enhance balance in a safe environment. Balance exercises on a soft surface also help to strengthen the foot and restore it’s balance capabilities.
