uneditedartists is always on guard with helping you stay healthy and pain-free. That’s why we want you to check out these six simple exercises to help you with knee, foot and hip pain.

1-Heel raises

To start off, grab a chair and stand behind it.


  •     Raise one of your legs.
  •     Slowly raise the heel of your other leg until you’re standing on your toes.
  •     Slowly put the heel back on the floor.
  •     Repeat this exercise 10-15 times on each leg.


This will strengthen your ankles and work on the muscles around the knee.

2-Toe walking

This is a simple exercise that you can do while maintaining your house or doing your other chores. Simply walk around on your toes at a fast pace — this will strengthen your calves and give a small workout to your toes and the balls of your feet.

Keep walking for 5 to 15 minutes or until tired.

3-Ankle сircles

To work on weak ankles you should do the following:


  •     Sitting down or standing up, raise one leg.
  •     Slowly rotate the foot of that leg in a circular motion.
  •     Repeat this 10 times in an inward circle and 10 times in outward circles for each leg.



4-Resistance training

For this next exercise, you’ll need a resistance band.


  •     Fix the band around the couch leg or any other standing piece of furniture.
  •     Put one of your legs under the other, slightly bent at the knee.
  •     Grab onto a resistance band with the foot of the leg on top.
  •     Slowly pull the band, bending your foot toward your head.
  •     Repeat this 10-15 times on each leg.


This incorporates the work of calf muscles and your inner and outer thigh muscles.


5-Toe games

To exercise your toes on a daily basis you can play a game called “grabbies”.

    Curl your toes on their own.
    Put a towel on the floor and grab onto it with your toes.
    Put small pebbles on the ground and try to put them in a basket using just your feet.

6-Walking on balls

To relax and train the balls of your feet:


  •     Find a tennis ball or a ball of a similar diameter.
  •     Sit on a chair.
  •     Place your foot on the ball and step on it.
  •     Slowly push the ball with your foot toward the toes and then backward.
  •     Enjoy the massage!

I first heard Dr. Peter Osborne describe the following common symptoms of hypothyroidism he notices in his patients’ nails and it got my mind racing. I dove into studies and books to figure out how low thyroid can affect even our nails. What the heck! Not even o...
