What kind of gymnastics is Hironoba Gymnastics?
Hironoba Exercise" is a biomechanical stretching of the toes, based on podiatry, invented and developed by Keiro Yuasa in 2008, in which the toes are spread (=hiro) and stretched (=noba). By stretching the toes, the balance of the foot and body improves, and bad symptoms disappear. If your goal is to maintain good health or prevent illness, you can do it once a day for as little as 5 minutes with your right and left feet together. It is surprisingly easy to do, so let's start by watching the video and practicing! Once you know how to do the exercises, you can easily do them before bed, in the bath, while watching TV, or anytime. First of all, try to do it for 2 weeks.
Let's try the Hironoba Exercise!
STEP 1 Sit on a chair or on the floor and place one leg on the thigh.
Tilt knees down as far as possible
...to prevent the ankle from turning upward.
Place feet properly on the thighs
The back of the foot should be turned in firmly.
The ankle should come out slightly from the thigh.
STEP2-1 Place the fingers of your hand between your toes.
...Put the tip of one toe in the base of each finger.
Allow clearance at the base of the toes.
I feel like only the tips of my toes ride on the base of my hands.
...and toes snugly against the base of the hand.
STEP2-2 Don't put too many fingers of your hand between your toes.
OK
Ideally, the toes should not protrude from the fingers.
gaffe
...If you put your fingers in to the base of the toes, you will not be able to bend them properly.
STEP3 Gently grasp the hand with the toes in it.
OK
Grip the hand gently so that it is slightly above the base of the toes.
Press the thumb of the foot lightly with the thumb of the hand.
gaffe
It is difficult to warp when the fingers of the hand are inserted all the way to the base of the foot.
STEP4 Turn your toes toward the instep.
Gently and slowly warp
Press your toes with the base of your hand.
Ideally, the toe joints should be at 90 degrees.
(Do not overdo it if you are stiff)
Once warped, hold for at least 5 seconds.
(If stiff, hold for 30 seconds)
Gently and slowly
Warp the back with the image of stretching the instep.
Press the sole of the foot lightly with the whole palm of your hand.
Once warped, hold for at least 5 seconds.
(Hold for 30 seconds if stiff)
STEP5 Repeat STEP4
After repeating STEP 4, turn the opposite leg in the same manner. It is OK if you can do both legs for at least 5 minutes; if you are stiff, it is more effective to do one leg for 10 minutes.
If it is difficult to do it yourself, have someone else do it for you.
Hironoba Gymnastics Application
Five-finger socks for orthopedic use YOSHIRO SOCKS
Introducing YOSHIRO SOCKS, five-toed socks for correction, developed based on podiatric medicine to maximize the effects of Hironoba Exercise.
Use with YOSHIRO SOCKS for even easier toe spreading!
YOSHIRO SOCKS have a shape-memory structure that constantly reproduces the ideal foot shape, and by wearing YOSHIRO SOCKS, the same effects as those of HIRONOBA gymnastics can always be obtained. For those with severe toe deformities or those who want quicker results, we recommend using YOSHIRO SOCKS in combination with HIRONOBA TAITO.
