Answer Wiggling toes isn't as good as actually getting up and getting going or, you can lay back and put your feet up on pillows level with your heart. The heart has to pump hard to get the blood flow to the lower extremities.
The circulation time for your blood is only about 15 seconds. It takes less than five seconds for the blood to reach your toes from your heart.
Acupuncture does not really help hammer toes. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the feet and other areas but does not change malformations.
You may not know this but as well as pumping, your heart also sucks blood back into its' chambers like a vaccum which is how your blood gets returned to your heart.
The sensory receptors in your feet, known as proprioceptors, send signals to your brain about the position and movement of your toes. This allows your brain to perceive the wiggling sensation, even if your eyes are closed.
Keep your legs moving, twitching and moving your toes when you are seated. Move your legs in regular motion every 5 minutes to make the blood circulate around.
