   Mallet toe can be a painful condition that leads to poor balance and a need to practice certain balance exercises. Please see more at   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now  Mallet toe is a common diagnosis that often coincides with hammertoe.  Mallet toe and hammertoe are two foot deformities that occur most often in women who wear high heels or shoes with a narrow toe box. These types of footwear may force your toes against the front of the shoe, causing an unnatural bending. A hammertoe has an abnormal bend in the middle joint of a toe. Mallet toe creates a deformity that affects the joint nearest the toenail. Hammertoe and mallet toe are most likely to occur in the long toe next to your big toe. In general, hammertoe and mallet toe result in an abnormal bend in the joints of one or more of your toes. Moving the affected toe may be difficult or painful. Corns and calluses can result from the toe rubbing against the inside of your shoes. Relieving the pain and pressure of hammertoe and mallet toe may involve changing your footwear and wearing shoe inserts. If you have a more severe case of hammertoe or mallet toe, you may need surgery to experience relief. Furthermore, having stiff and painful toes creates a secondary issue of imbalance, which requires practicing specific balance exercises to minimize the chance of falling.

 Balance Exercises For Stiff And Sore Toes

   rehearsing  balance exercises is critical for individuals who suffer with stiff and sore feet. Our balance abilities rely heavily on both sensory feedback and flexibility of the structures in the feet. The balance center in our brain processes sensory input from the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and positions of the bones in our feet to determine how to balance on various surfaces like thick carpet, hardwood floors, grass and hiking trails. That sensory input is altered in folks who suffer with hammertoe or mallet toe. As a result, medical professionals like doctors and physical therapists recommend that individuals with stiff and painful joints in the feet perform equilibrium routines to help develop adequate steadiness with all movement activities. You can learn which balance exercises to rehearse by following along with the instruction from a knowledgeable physical therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
