It's so good to see nonsurgical options for bunions! I've been wearing barefoot shoes and doing some mobility exercises for almost a year now and I think my toes are slowly but surely getting back to what they used to be pre-bunions! I'm gonna try out the exercises recommend here, thank you! I'm looking forward to more videos!
That’s great! I’ve been wearing minimalist shoes too now for three months. I have very flat feet. I love my shoes. I’m going to add some of these exercises too. Hopefully my bunions will improve also.
That crack and release from the big toe! That is exactly what I feel my right big toe needs right now! I've recently bought barefoot shoes and am hoping to improve my foot health with various exercises too.
As girl, I wore pointy shoes and shoes that were too tight. Now I have a bunion, but only on the left foot. Also, suddenly, plantar fasciitis on the right heel. VERY painful! I took my feet for granted and now I am learning alot about the feet. They really are interesting! Nice video!☆ Edit: Plantar fasciitis gone now! Myofascial deep tissue work plus prayer. Gone!
Thank you for this video, I’ve gotten a bunion on my left toe, and it’s getting painful. Gave up heels several years ago. I’m going to start the exercises!
Nope, for what he is doing one would actually need a therapist. The way he pushes down on some areas it looks painful. But I will stretch as much as possible. What he said makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for the exercises. What I noticed for me was doing these resting between exercises I felt this coldness coming thru the joints. Felt good like I was getting some extra blood circulation.
I am watching this in 2024. Omg, he explained about the tight muscles and stretching of each one. She explained 3 great exercises. Very helpful for me with bunions❤❤❤

Of course you are not located in my city Toronto! I have a great RMT however he is still needing me to guide him how to work on me to help my bunion pain. I will have to share your video. This is what I am looking for! I suffer from shin splints, tight calves, tight hands and forearm muscles and I am getting my RMT to focus more on those areas! Thank you so much!
@@kinetichealthonline unfortunately I can’t find none for tailor bunions/ Schneider bunions. The smallest toe bunion. Sry maybe I don’t know the right translation to say what I mean.
I have bunions on both feet, my right one hurts a lot more. I tell my husband I had narrowed boots in basic training like 20 years ago and I think that was the cause because I have wide feet. I did not wear high heels that much only once in a while. I really don’t want surgery. Hope this helps, I do have the spacers and the barefoot. I just need to be consistent. Thank you
Hi Jackie: We teach our MSR programs to Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and RMTs. We are just in the process of getting our courses up and running again since COVID. In the meantime, you can check out the Active Release site. If you are ever in Calgary you can check out our clinic. Cheers www.kinetichealth.ca/
I have bunions from wearing very high heels with pointed toes at 15yrs.of age & continuing to wear high heels regularily until 65yrs. old. Now 76 yrs.old with bunions....not really a mystery. I have always been very active & slim & am still slim, but have OsteoArthritis stage 4, hips.
I've been getting deep tissue massages for over 20 years and it hasn't fixed the issues from two car accidents. It feels better right after, but doesn't last long. Now I'm reading about myofascial release which I would love to try and that is gentle, long pressure. Is an injury different than just being tight? I'm rethinking letting anyone do deep tissue massage on me now.
This is how I've kept the knife away. Hurts, but works. Barefoot is my best situation. Surgeon keeps saying only surgical intervention. But all this works. Hands too.
I've seen people put those toe spaces on the other way, with the round end facing you. Which is the correct way?? Thanks. Would love to see a close up of using those properly.
This video does a great job of answering your question. Cheers! www.google.com/search?q=how+to+use+toe+spacers&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCA903CA903&oq=how+to+use+toe+spacers&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13i512j0i22i30l8.9892j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:ca5c984a,vid:w7aoeE0zm6o
I've been distance running for over 40 years and I've never seen anything like this. I've had a terrible bunion for years. Your feet are move flexible than my hands.
I'm about halfway through the video and no mention (yet?) of the 1st metatarsal medial displacement. Isn't this what actually drives the hallicus valgus and associated "bump" enlargement of the metatarsal head? Granted, the tight muscles/soft tissue restrictions + external rotation during push off contribute to the toe valgus, along with restrictive footwear. I'm wondering, though, if there are specific treatments and exercises you could recommend for returhing a displaced 1st metatarsal to proper alignment. Thanks! (and if I just need to keep watching to see this addressed, let me know!)
Thank you for your comment and for engaging with the content of the video. You're absolutely correct in pointing out the significance of the 1st metatarsal's medial displacement in the development of hallux valgus and the associated bunion formation.

Hi DEBZLUVSTOCHILL: No this treatment is not available in the UK right now. We are planing to teach a course in the UK this next year, we are just in the process of finalizing the details. Cheers
Hello @nicoleyap6070, Thank you for engaging with the content and for your question. While I'm unable to provide personalized advice without an in-person evaluation, I can offer some general guidelines. Typically, toe spacers are used as part of a conservative treatment plan for bunions, and their use can vary based on individual needs. Generally, starting with short periods and gradually increasing as comfort allows is a common approach. As for exercises, consistency is key, and a usual recommendation is one to three times daily. However, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can tailor the advice to your specific condition and ensure that you are using them correctly and effectively. Bottom line, always listen to your body and avoid any activity that causes severe pain or discomfort.
Thank you. 😊 I have noticed on my right foot, it appears that there's a Bunion starting. My toes have always been somewhat crooked, but they're getting worse worse. My 2nd toe on each foot has always been crooked and now they're starting to be clubbed. Do you know what would cause the toe next to the big toe to curve towards the other toes and to be clubbed? Can I purchase those nice toe spacers from you? And how long do I leave them on? I don't ever wear heels but I'm thinking my Winter boots might be a little tight.
Hello It'sMe: I can not say what is causing your 2nd toe from curving in without examining you (it could be several things). To answers your questions: We do not sell to spacers, but I know the gel ones are available on Amazon. We have our patients leave them on all day when wearing shoes. Yes tight shoes/boots can be a major problem. You might want to check out my Blog on bunions, I just updated it. Cheers www.kinetichealth.ca/post/2013/11/20/treating-bunions?fbclid=IwAR0uk8fOtriezlvfRGjJCoSFV-bvAzD7xvGRKBfbAxQRtnElwps9cPORD94
i suspect that high blood sugar has an impact on this problem. Many people who never wear heels but only flip flops have this problem. The exercise with the big toe ribbon looks good. i will try it. when i do a plank position in the morning I try to manipulate my toes to slow down the formation. But I think keeping blood sugar low...80,90 is best. but very difficult!
@@helenmary9416 I highly suspect that. I have seen this just today but have been fixing or at least trying to fix my feet for years now. Weight , weak arch , wide feet, ballet feet( overtly flexible) and over pronation are some causes. All of it deduce to incorrect foot support leading to subconscious stretching of foot & calf muscles. I have IR and feet have many acupressure points. An uncomfortable feet might trigger unexpected hormones leading to multiple disorders( I am no doctor but I suggest this as a possibility). If you are facing it try silicon toe separators for 15 mins each night before sleep and an arch support insole in your shoes. It has helped me the most.
Hi Jane: I cannot comment of comment on a specific case without performing a physical examination. That being said, here is a blog I wrote that may answer some of your questions. Cheers! "Say Goodbye to Hammer Toes: Effective Exercises and Treatment Methods" th-cam.com/video/3lbpzFxTiGo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video, I wish I could find someone here to work on my feet and legs. I’m also having a bunion problem only on one foot though. I’ll work on this.
Some chiropractors may be willing to do this type of work. Otherwise, get a RUBZ Hand and Foot massage ball off Amazon to roll out your feet and toes. Use a Rollga medium to hard density foam roller or massage sticks to roll out your hamstring, calf, soleus and shin muscles.
I have this issue too on my r foot. 1/2 inch leg length discrepancy and I run between 30 to 40 miles a week plus teach group ex classes and spin… good stuff.
Hello. I have a bunion on the lateral side of my foot. I believe it's called Tailor's bunion. Would you recommend those toe seperators for that? Thank you
Hello @alaskanmuscle70, I appreciate your interest in the video. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations, especially when dealing with specific conditions like a Tailor's bunion. Physical examination is essential for accurate advice. Coincidentally, I have an upcoming blog post that specifically addresses Tailor's bunions-stay tuned for that.
If your bunion causes no pain or discomfort, it may not require immediate medical attention. However, it is crucial to monitor the progression of the bunion and maintain proper foot care to prevent complications. This includes wearing well-fitted, comfortable shoes with a wide toe box, and engaging in foot strengthening exercises would be a great idea. Cheers!
Hi: I cannot comments on specific cases that I have not examined. Feel free to show a practitioner in your are to get their opinion. Here is a blog that I wrote on bunions, that could answer some of your questions. Cheers! "Bunions - Stop That Burning Pain!" www.kinetichealth.ca/post/2013/11/20/treating-bunions
Hello @VeganNinja137, Thank you for watching! This type of treatment isn't limited to just physical therapists (PTs); we also teach it to chiropractors, massage therapists, and other regulated healthcare practitioners. We are currently compiling a database of practitioners trained in this method, which will be available soon on our website: www.motionspecificrelease.com. All the Best Dr. Brian Abelson DC
Do you know anything about Correct Toes toe spacers? They’re $60, curious to know if they are actually better than other toe spacers or just overpriced. I want to avoid bunion surgery if I can.
Thank you for reaching out with your question, @melanierose6599. I must admit, I am not well-versed in the specific details of Correct Toes toe spacers and cannot provide a direct comparison to other products. Generally, less expensive alternatives may also serve well, and many can be found with a quick search on online marketplaces like Amazon. However, I understand your concerns about bunion management and the desire to avoid surgery. For a broader perspective on bunion care, you might find value in an article I authored, "Bunion Battles: Douse the Flame of Foot Pain." It offers insight into non-surgical approaches to bunion pain. You can read the article here: www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/bunion-battles-douse-the-flame-of-foot-pain Wishing you comfort and health on your journey to foot pain relief.

I have recently come across a client I did a pedicure for that had this same curving on her middle toe. Will these exercises work for any toes that are curving? Also, do you have any help suggestions for hammer toes?
Hello, thank you very much for the Video and suggestions! I have had toespacers but after an hour they start to extremley hurt. Any advise on this? Thank you a million
I bought the gel spacers but discovered the middle toes on my left foot are webbed and the spacers were uncomfortable. My bunion is worse on my right and the second toe developed a nodule. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and wonder if this is the cause and whether the exercises will still work,

I have a wide foot on size 13, I think that is the reason I have a bunion now. So hard to find shoes that big on a wide side and my stepping in when I get tired
Hi there, what do you call this type of therapy? I have gone to a chiropractor and want to see a physical therapist instead. I wonder if a PT does this type of therapy. Thanks so much!
Hi Mari: This treatment system is called Motion Specific Release (MSR). Here is a blog I wrote explaining the system. www.kinetichealth.ca/post/motion-specific-release-msr . We teach chiropractors, Physiotherapists, RMTs, and osteopaths. Cheers!
I am just seeing this, but had a question about tailor bunions. I just had both hip labrum’s repaired. I had slight tailor bunions and a smidge of usual bunion. But super slight. The odd thing is I got the surgeries, haven’t been working to really use feet, but my tailor bunions have literally double size to where they now look really deformity zone. And they hurt. BUT I DONT understand why? How did they get worse with NOT working on my feet??
Hello @tiffanywalker713, Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. I can personally relate to the complexities of post-surgical bodily changes, as I've had my right hip replaced. This surgery, while successful, led to compensatory changes, resulting in my right foot becoming one size larger than the left, despite full functionality. Such changes can indeed influence the condition of bunions. Without a thorough physical examination, it's challenging to provide specific guidance, but changes in foot size and mechanics can contribute to an increase in the size of tailor's bunions, even if you're not actively putting strain on your feet. I will delve deeper into the topic of tailor's bunions in an upcoming video and blog post, so please look out for that. It may provide you with some valuable insights. In the meantime, a consultation with a healthcare provider could offer you personalized advice based on an examination of your feet.
@kinetichealthonline Thank you so much for getting back to me! yes, consultation is only way. it is just so odd. I had discovered the bunion factor in that my hip gate was misaligned from the feet due to my walking style (though none of this was ever part of initial PT within workers comp of it all) Anyway, I happened to see a random TH-cam on it after my PT guy pointing out my bunions. ...but he had been working on me for the past year and that never was a thing until 1st surgery. I know I utilize shorter steps/stride as my method of walking fast. and I'm a fast walker in general. but the video told me about how short strides shorten the calf muscle and my foot then adjusts to help me walk the way I'm doing it ....but of course as repercussion up to the hips. I have been actively trying to spread toes and tennis ball out my foot...but that has lead to the ball of foot feeling like there is a nail in there on some days..mind bunions not going down. aagh. I have all these other body parts going on and adding 2 bunions is aagh. but I do know it is affecting my new hips in my walking stride when the ball of foot hurts sooo much. again, thank you. can't tell where you are located. but have a feeling your aren't in L. A

Thank you for your interest, @Linda-xe4tc. MSR, or Motion Specific Release, is a technique practiced by a variety of professionals in the physical therapy field. This includes not only physical therapists but also chiropractors, osteopaths, and registered massage therapists (RMTs) who have undergone specific training in this system. If you're looking for a practitioner who specializes in MSR for bunions or other musculoskeletal issues, it's best to search for certified MSR practitioners in your area, or you might check with local clinics to see if they offer this type of treatment. Always ensure that the practitioner is properly certified to get the best care possible. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching our video!

La mia prima raccomandazione è di consultare un fisioterapista o un altro medico che possa fornire un trattamento simile a quello che ho dimostrato. Questo deve essere combinato con gli esercizi e le altre raccomandazioni menzionate in questo video. Saluti

Will these exercises help if I already have bunions? I never wear heels, but I do have extreme pronation and basically flat feet. I got bunion surgery a year ago, but my big toe is already back where it was before and I developed a bunion on the other foot while recovering from the surgery.
Hi Deb: Yes it does help in most cases even when you already have bunions. I cannot comment on specific cases with performing a physical examination. One of the main points is the exercise alone often does not take care of the problem (nor does treatment alone). There is a like to a blog I wrote on the subject, hopefully it will give you some ideas. Cheers! - Bunions - Stop That Burning Pain! www.kinetichealth.ca/post/2013/11/20/treating-bunions
Nice video. Question concerning the last exercise with the theraband... Wouldn't it be counterintuitive as the resistance is actually going to strengthen the muscles that cause hallux valgus? Or is it designed to be used as a stretch more than a strengthening exercise?
@@kinetichealthonline I have bunions and have started diligently doing exercises. They do not cause me pain however and definitely want to avoid surgery. It is encouraging to know that exercise can help. I was a professional ballroom dancer for many years and spent hours dancing in pointy toe heels. My feet are now shaped like those shoes.
Thank you for tuning in and for your insightful suggestion on covering tailor's bunions. Good news: we've already completed the filming for this very topic. The next step is post-production, and we'll have the video ready for you soon.

I was a self taught gymnastics freak as a kid . In that I have always had tight lower legs that hurt and now I am 45 I have had bunions my entire life and did not have tools or info or time to fix things now I am 45 and have time threw a forced retirement to care for my husband after a wreck and am looking for tools to help out with my bunions . Which one big toe does not move anymore on its own . So I will see if this works at all. I know this sounds nuts but I use the heavy rubber bands from produce to keep the bunions pulled away from the other toes . The cracking of the toes is good ? I have never been allowed to have heals and now as a grown person I would never kill myself like that I do sneakers and keep them larger .
Hi Heather: This process does work in the majority of cases, I have been in clinical practice for over 30 years and have seen some great results. That being said, the best results come from implementing all the recommendations we talk about in this video: treatment, toes spacers, and exercise. You will need to find a practitioner who can implement these procedures. Cheers!
Thats perfect I will try it Im staring to develop bunion on my left feet because of my work usually alot of time not sitting down sometimes when I finish my day painful exercise will do Thanks Salute from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷🍹🌴☘
Giving this a try, though the first exercise I can't do at all with my left foot. I can not spread my toes to save my life! I can raise them though. Right foot, only my pinkie will spread. I have lots of flexion in my ankles and my hamstrings aren't tight at all.

I have bunions from wearing very high heels with pointed toes at 15yrs.of age & continuing to wear high heels regularily until 65yrs. old. Now 76 yrs.old with bunions....not really a mystery. I have always been very active & slim & am still slim, but have OsteoArthritis stage 4, hips.
I've been getting deep tissue massages for over 20 years and it hasn't fixed the issues from two car accidents. It feels better right after, but doesn't last long. Now I'm reading about myofascial release which I would love to try and that is gentle, long pressure. Is an injury different than just being tight? I'm rethinking letting anyone do deep tissue massage on me now.
This is how I've kept the knife away.
Hurts, but works.
Barefoot is my best situation.
Surgeon keeps saying only surgical intervention. But all this works. Hands too.
I've seen people put those toe spaces on the other way, with the round end facing you. Which is the correct way?? Thanks.
Would love to see a close up of using those properly.
This video does a great job of answering your question. Cheers! www.google.com/search?q=how+to+use+toe+spacers&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCA903CA903&oq=how+to+use+toe+spacers&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i13i512j0i22i30l8.9892j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:ca5c984a,vid:w7aoeE0zm6o
I've been distance running for over 40 years and I've never seen anything like this.

These are usually the ones we recommend to patients. Cheer! amzn.to/3Z4dWKV
I'm about halfway through the video and no mention (yet?) of the 1st metatarsal medial displacement. Isn't this what actually drives the hallicus valgus and associated "bump" enlargement of the metatarsal head? Granted, the tight muscles/soft tissue restrictions + external rotation during push off contribute to the toe valgus, along with restrictive footwear. I'm wondering, though, if there are specific treatments and exercises you could recommend for returhing a displaced 1st metatarsal to proper alignment. Thanks! (and if I just need to keep watching to see this addressed, let me know!)
Thank you for your comment and for engaging with the content of the video. You're absolutely correct in pointing out the significance of the 1st metatarsal's medial displacement in the development of hallux valgus and the associated bunion formation. Addressing the biomechanical and musculoskeletal factors is crucial for non-surgical management of bunions.

This is fascinating - I would most certainly benefit from these stretches - do you know if this form of treatment is available in the UK?
Hi DEBZLUVSTOCHILL: No this treatment is not available in the UK right now. We are planing to teach a course in the UK this next year, we are just in the process of finalizing the details. Cheers
@@kinetichealthonline thats fabulous news! How might I find out who is qualified at a later stage? Thanks in advance
I would love to take part in the course, I am in the UK too!
Wish I could’ve known about this 20 some years ago…my bunions are bad, especially on my right foot!
OMG this looks amazing..does it work for bunions on the Little toe side?
The techniques are similar but different. Thanks for watching!
How often and how long should you wear the spacers? Also, how many times a day should you do the exercises?
Hello @nicoleyap6070, Thank you for engaging with the content and for your question. While I'm unable to provide personalized advice without an in-person evaluation, I can offer some general guidelines. Typically, toe spacers are used as part of a conservative treatment plan for bunions, and their use can vary based on individual needs. Generally, starting with short periods and gradually increasing as comfort allows is a common approach. As for exercises, consistency is key, and a usual recommendation is one to three times daily. However, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can tailor the advice to your specific condition and ensure that you are using them correctly and effectively. Bottom line, always listen to your body and avoid any activity that causes severe pain or discomfort.
Thank you! I appreciate it.@@kinetichealthonline
Thank you, I will try all these exercises.
You're so welcome!
Thank you. 😊
I have noticed on my right foot, it appears that there's a Bunion starting. My toes have always been somewhat crooked, but they're getting worse worse. My 2nd toe on each foot has always been crooked and now they're starting to be clubbed. Do you know what would cause the toe next to the big toe to curve towards the other toes and to be clubbed? Can I purchase those nice toe spacers from you? And how long do I leave them on?
I don't ever wear heels but I'm thinking my Winter boots might be a little tight.
Hello It'sMe: I can not say what is causing your 2nd toe from curving in without examining you (it could be several things). To answers your questions: We do not sell to spacers, but I know the gel ones are available on Amazon. We have our patients leave them on all day when wearing shoes. Yes tight shoes/boots can be a major problem. You might want to check out my Blog on bunions, I just updated it.

@@kinetichealthonline Thank you for the reply..
i suspect that high blood sugar has an impact on this problem. Many people who never wear heels but only flip flops have this problem. The exercise with the big toe ribbon looks good. i will try it. when i do a plank position in the morning I try to manipulate my toes to slow down the formation. But I think keeping blood sugar low...80,90 is best. but very difficult!
@@helenmary9416 I highly suspect that. I have seen this just today but have been fixing or at least trying to fix my feet for years now. Weight , weak arch , wide feet, ballet feet( overtly flexible) and over pronation are some causes. All of it deduce to incorrect foot support leading to subconscious stretching of foot & calf muscles. I have IR and feet have many acupressure points. An uncomfortable feet might trigger unexpected hormones leading to multiple disorders( I am no doctor but I suggest this as a possibility). If you are facing it try silicon toe separators for 15 mins each night before sleep and an arch support insole in your shoes. It has helped me the most.
I have a tailor’s bunion. Would the treatment be the same?
Similar yes, its actually on our list of videos to produce. Thanks for watching!

Can you do these stretches and exercises if you’ve had a hammer toe injury?
Hi Jane: I cannot comment of comment on a specific case without performing a physical examination. That being said, here is a blog I wrote that may answer some of your questions. Cheers! "Say Goodbye to Hammer Toes: Effective Exercises and Treatment Methods" th-cam.com/video/3lbpzFxTiGo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video, I wish I could find someone here to work on my feet and legs. I’m also having a bunion problem only on one foot though. I’ll work on this.
Some chiropractors may be willing to do this type of work. Otherwise, get a RUBZ Hand and Foot massage ball off Amazon to roll out your feet and toes. Use a Rollga medium to hard density foam roller or massage sticks to roll out your hamstring, calf, soleus and shin muscles.
I have this issue too on my r foot. 1/2 inch leg length discrepancy and I run between 30 to 40 miles a week plus teach group ex classes and spin… good stuff.
Hello. I have a bunion on the lateral side of my foot. I believe it's called Tailor's bunion. Would you recommend those toe seperators for that? Thank you
Hello @alaskanmuscle70, I appreciate your interest in the video. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations, especially when dealing with specific conditions like a Tailor's bunion. Physical examination is essential for accurate advice. Coincidentally, I have an upcoming blog post that specifically addresses Tailor's bunions-stay tuned for that.
What kind of Dr. helps manipulate the feet like the video?
I am a chiropractor. We teach these procedures to physiotherapists, chiropractors, RMT's osteopaths, and other allied medical practitioners. Cheers!
And where are you located???? Do you make house calls? LOL! This is exactly what I need! Excellent video with quality information. Thank you!

@@kinetichealthonline i could do with some of that toe cracking
What if my bunion causes no pain or discomfort ?
If your bunion causes no pain or discomfort, it may not require immediate medical attention. However, it is crucial to monitor the progression of the bunion and maintain proper foot care to prevent complications. This includes wearing well-fitted, comfortable shoes with a wide toe box, and engaging in foot strengthening exercises would be a great idea. Cheers!
A question of about the bands around the toes please. I noticed that my big leans more towards the small toe when I stretch with the band. Is this OK?
Hi: I cannot comments on specific cases that I have not examined. Feel free to show a practitioner in your are to get their opinion.

Is this type of massage only done by PT? I have yet to see a n orthopedic who does this so I have tried on myself. It is not the same.
Hello @VeganNinja137,

@@kinetichealthonline Thank you for responding. That is great to know about the training and the list you are compiling. Thanks for doing that.
Do you know anything about Correct Toes toe spacers? They’re $60, curious to know if they are actually better than other toe spacers or just overpriced. I want to avoid bunion surgery if I can.
Thank you for reaching out with your question, @melanierose6599. I must admit, I am not well-versed in the specific details of Correct Toes toe spacers and cannot provide a direct comparison to other products. Generally, less expensive alternatives may also serve well, and many can be found with a quick search on online marketplaces like Amazon.
However, I understand your concerns about bunion management and the desire to avoid surgery. For a broader perspective on bunion care, you might find value in an article I authored, "Bunion Battles: Douse the Flame of Foot Pain." It offers insight into non-surgical approaches to bunion pain.

I am just seeing this, but had a question about tailor bunions. I just had both hip labrum’s repaired. I had slight tailor bunions and a smidge of usual bunion. But super slight. The odd thing is I got the surgeries, haven’t been working to really use feet, but my tailor bunions have literally double size to where they now look really deformity zone. And they hurt. BUT I DONT understand why? How did they get worse with NOT working on my feet??
Hello @tiffanywalker713,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. I can personally relate to the complexities of post-surgical bodily changes, as I've had my right hip replaced. This surgery, while successful, led to compensatory changes, resulting in my right foot becoming one size larger than the left, despite full functionality. Such changes can indeed influence the condition of bunions. Without a thorough physical examination, it's challenging to provide specific guidance, but changes in foot size and mechanics can contribute to an increase in the size of tailor's bunions, even if you're not actively putting strain on your feet. I will delve deeper into the topic of tailor's bunions in an upcoming video and blog post, so please look out for that. It may provide you with some valuable insights. In the meantime, a consultation with a healthcare provider could offer you personalized advice based on an examination of your feet.
@kinetichealthonline Thank you so much for getting back to me! yes, consultation is only way. it is just so odd.
I had discovered the bunion factor in that my hip gate was misaligned from the feet due to my walking style (though none of this was ever part of initial PT within workers comp of it all) Anyway, I happened to see a random TH-cam on it after my PT guy pointing out my bunions. ...but he had been working on me for the past year and that never was a thing until 1st surgery.
I know I utilize shorter steps/stride as my method of walking fast. and I'm a fast walker in general. but the video told me about how short strides shorten the calf muscle and my foot then adjusts to help me walk the way I'm doing it ....but of course as repercussion up to the hips. I have been actively trying to spread toes and tennis ball out my foot...but that has lead to the ball of foot feeling like there is a nail in there on some days..mind bunions not going down. aagh. I have all these other body parts going on and adding 2 bunions is aagh. but I do know it is affecting my new hips in my walking stride when the ball of foot hurts sooo much.
again, thank you. can't tell where you are located. but have a feeling your aren't in L. A

What physical therapist do this ??
Thank you for your interest, @Linda-xe4tc. MSR, or Motion Specific Release, is a technique practiced by a variety of professionals in the physical therapy field. This includes not only physical therapists but also chiropractors, osteopaths, and registered massage therapists (RMTs) who have undergone specific training in this system. If you're looking for a practitioner who specializes in MSR for bunions or other musculoskeletal issues, it's best to search for certified MSR practitioners in your area, or you might check with local clinics to see if they offer this type of treatment. Always ensure that the practitioner is properly certified to get the best care possible. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching our video!

I was a self taught gymnastics freak as a kid . In that I have always had tight lower legs that hurt and now I am 45 I have had bunions my entire life and did not have tools or info or time to fix things now I am 45 and have time threw a forced retirement to care for my husband after a wreck and am looking for tools to help out with my bunions . Which one big toe does not move anymore on its own . So I will see if this works at all. I know this sounds nuts but I use the heavy rubber bands from produce to keep the bunions pulled away from the other toes . The cracking of the toes is good ? I have never been allowed to have heals and now as a grown person I would never kill myself like that I do sneakers and keep them larger .
Hi Heather: This process does work in the majority of cases, I have been in clinical practice for over 30 years and have seen some great results. That being said, the best results come from implementing all the recommendations we talk about in this video: treatment, toes spacers, and exercise.
