Do Yoga Toes Really Work?

Do you suffer from sore, tired feet? Are you on your feet all day and need relief? Do you suffer from bunions, hammertoes, or plantar fascitis? If so, you're an ideal candidate for yoga toes.

Yoga toes, or as as they are also known toe stretchers, are a gel like device that look similar to the foam toe separators used by pedicurists. To use yoga toes, all you have to do is insert your toes into the inserts and wear them while passively lying or sitting down. No intense workouts or awkward exercises, yoga toes does all the work while you rest!

The goal of this product is to stretch and strengthen the muscles in your feet. This will reduce the amount of stress placed on your feet by training your feet to take a wider stance. You'll find that the added strength in your feet will make a world of difference, allowing you to stand, walk, or run with more vigor and stamina than you've had before.

• Helps you recover from foot strain, stress, and pain.
• Increases your foot flexibility, strength and the appearance of your feet.
• Improves circulation throughout your lower body.
• Reduces the pain and discomfort of bunions, plantar fascitis, and hammertoes.
• Improve posture by re-aligning the toes (especially helpful if you wear uncomfortable shoes all day).

Also know that Yoga Toes are:

• BPA Free
• Hypo-allergenic
• Durable and will last many years
• Designed and made in the United States
  

I bought my yoga toes about six months ago and wear them nearly everyday for about a half hour to an hour, although you will see and feel results with just a few minutes of use a day. The great thing is I can do this in my downtime and don't have to plan a portion of my day to exercising my feet. Usually I just slip them on when I'm watching TV or doing some other sedentary activity.

Yes, you can multitask TV watching and doing something beneficial for your health at the same time! When I first started using yoga toes, I realized very quickly that the stretching I was feeling was more than I had expected; these are definitely not your flimsy foam pedicure toe stretchers. After a couple of days, I didn't notice the "burn" as much but did notice that my feet did not fatigue as easily as usual. I work on my feet most of the day so this was a very welcome change indeed!

Now after several months of using yoga toes, my foot flexibility has increased leaps and bounds, not to mention I rarely get tired while on my feet.

Although their are many foot care doctors who recommend yoga toes to their patients, most are reluctant to verify claims by the manufacturers that the product will cure bunions, hammertoes and other foot ailments. This reluctance stems from the lack of scientific data to back up these assertions; although most doctors agree that toe stretchers do not pose any significant potential health risks and can help alleviate these problems. I would recommended that you speak to your physician before using yoga toe stretchers to treat any of the above foot conditions.  If you get the okay then I wish you well in your venture into the world of toe yoga!
