7 Diabetic Foot Exercises: Simple Workouts to Improve Circulation and Mobility

 

Alongside blood-glucose management, prescribed medication, suitable footwear, and daily foot care, gentle foot movements may help maintain joint mobility, muscle function, and general activity.
However, exercise cannot be guaranteed to reverse numbness, restore damaged nerves, heal a foot wound faster, or prevent every diabetes-related foot problem. People with reduced sensation, poor circulation, a current or recent ulcer, infection, swelling, redness, warmth, deformity, or suspected Charcot foot should receive professional foot assessment before starting or continuing these exercises.
