How To Get Stronger Toes with Toe Bands by BlackBoard

- I've been getting a lot of questions about the Toe Bands by BlackBoard Training that I've been using for toe exercises recently (purchase here: blackboard-training.com/en/ho.... Here's an in-depth look at the exercises they recommend.
I really like the Toe Bands and these are great exercises to build toe strength and control for the big toes and pinky toes. Excellent for bunions and bunionettes, also worth working on for plantar fasciitis.
You can use a Theraband or similar elastic exercise band instead, just try to find a level of tension that allows you some success at the exercises (but not too much). Having said that, the Toe Bands are good quality, washable and designed for this purpose, so I think they're a good investment if you're looking to buy something.

With the 2 bands crossed, the original instructions say that you are doing a stepping movement, not just lifting the toes and putting down. Can be easier in the beginning to get an idea of how the big and pinky toes are supposed to move functionally.
Thank you for this demo!
My pleasure! 😊
Great job! Incredibly helpful 👍🏻
I'm so glad to hear it 😊
Hi, fabulous video! On the first exercise for the big toe, could you do this standing up on a block, or edge of stair so that the big toe has an increased range of motion? Thank you.
You could, but I'm not sure it would be all that helpful if getting better at walking is your goal. I like the way you think!
sorry what mat are you using and advice? always wider than the classic ones?
I use Manduka Pro yoga mats. I don't understand your q about advice, though.
How can you rebuild the transverse arch?
Really depends - it's not the same for everyone but typically as you restore foot function esp pronation & supination it'll help with the transverse arch as well.
Are the bands adjustable? Foot length will affect the tension.
They're not adjustable, but one band has lighter tension than the other.
What I'm so curious is how to use this when you already have a bunion. The adductor just doesn't even know how to engage yet and my toe goes lateral, not central.
I'm thinking static resistance might be the first step in strengthening.
I have some beginner bunion focused exercises in my Free Your Feet program - have you tried picking that up and starting there?
Can you use the bands on your other toes?
Presumably - these are just the exercises provided in the instructions and I haven't really considered additional options. I'm not sure that would a first priority from the POV of getting better foot function.
