You may have seen her on TikTok—but if you haven’t, meet Catalina! She fractured the fifth metatarsal in her foot and had to wear a cast for five weeks.
In this video, she lies back in a spa on a massage bed while a therapist vigorously works the toes of her casted foot. The deep, sustained pressure is painful yet soothing, reducing swelling and improving mobility in toes that have been partly immobilized by the injury. The massage is performed with a blend of cream and oil. After the long session, she heads out onto the city’s main avenue on crutches, showing off her agility and flexibility with a few acrobatic moves. She covers a considerable distance before reaching her building, where she chooses to take the stairs (crutching upstairs)—many flights of them—instead of the elevator, turning the climb into both exercise and a display of her skill.
