Exercises to strengthen the flexor digitorum longus tendon include toe curls (curling your toes downward against resistance), towel scrunches (gripping a towel with your toes), and picking up marbles with your toes. Stretching exercises like calf stretches and toe stretches can also help maintain flexibility in the tendon. It's important to consult with a physical therapist or healthcare provider to ensure proper form and technique.
