Muscles Of The Foot

Muscles cannot push, they can only pull and therefore they often work in pairs as opposing muscles. By pulling on different sides of a bone they enable a joint to open or close.

Extensor foot muscles allow your toes and feet to extend up and generally run from the top of the toes and feet and up the front or outside of the legs. The flexor muscles allow your toes and feet to flex down and generally run along the bottom of your feet and up the back of the legs.
