How to press the instep

Some professions require pressing the instep, such as ballet dancers. Pressing the instep is quite painful, and you must master certain methods to avoid injuries caused by improper pressing of the instep. There are certain techniques for pressing the instep, which mainly press the tendons and ligaments. When pressing the instep, you must proceed step by step and not apply force suddenly and blindly, as this can easily cause serious damage to the tendons or ligaments.

How to press the instep

When you have nothing to do, stand or sit and chat, you can press the instep of your foot. Just press with your toes against the floor until it becomes numb, then do something else. Forget the pain of pressing the instep of your foot. Just bear with it and it will be fine after a few days of getting used to it. You can also ask a boy to help you press it. Find someone to help hold your knees. Boys are stronger than screaming. You need to hear the bones think, "Oh." This is very effective, but it is quite painful. Sit on a chair, with one foot on the ground and one foot bent and placed on the other foot, with the sole of the foot facing the body, and use your hands to move the instep of your foot towards the body. During each movement, stretch your foot until cramps. Slowly the instep of your foot will be fine. Put a pillow or something slightly higher under you, kneel at the junction of the pillow and the bed. The sole of your foot will naturally move downward under the pressure, which is exactly the difference in height. This method is simple and effective. You can implement it while watching TV, and you can gradually use higher objects.

muscle! tendon! ligament!

Tendons are high-density connective tissues that mainly connect bones and muscles and transmit force from muscles to bones or cartilage. Tendons facilitate muscle attachment and fixation. The tendons of a muscle are attached to two or more different bones. It is due to the traction of the tendons that the contraction of the muscle drives the movement of different bones, thus enabling the human body to perform many activities.

If the ligaments are too loose, it will greatly affect the stability of the joints! Therefore, beginners should not do static stretching for more than 1 minute, and they should also strengthen strength training. Because our ligaments will become stronger and stronger as we train! Especially the feet.

The more important point is that the flexibility of the feet must be a combination of "soft" and "hard"! If one seeks "softness", he will be very likely to get injured when using his feet in the future!

If we just stretch the ligaments in our feet without strengthening them. The joints will become very unstable and the risk of injury in future dancing will be very high!
