Bunions are a common problem and have a variety of known risk factors: including over pronation, previous injury and there is also a strong genetic component. Footwear is also known to be a consideration in their development. As soon as you notice the toe deviating, take action by using tape, wearing toe spreaders such as Flamingo Feet and as always, seek a professional medical opinion to avoid them worsening.

Non è opportuno mettere un separatore in silicone tra alluçe e dito vicino
Looking forward to trying this. Thank you.
No problems, let us know how you go
Hello Eva,
Did you read the title of this video. If you had, it would have saved you the effort of writing your comment.
Thank you for this video. I have suffered from painful bunions for years and finally have a solution, but I will try this as well.
It does feel better taped- and I was happy to see my toe as it used to be!
Great to hear! How long are you leaving the tape on for?
@@freestylefeet2063 usually 24-36 hrs.
I’m still getting the tension adjusting fine tuned
@@amrice62 perfect, if your skin is coping well without any rash etc. build up the time slowly
Thank you sharing this, very informative. I have a bunion which is very similar to your model. It not so evident but it does cause problems sometimes and other times not so much. I have had my feet taped by an podiatrist which my feet felt so good for 5 days then I removed the tape. I ran out of funds so could not keeping seeing the podiatrist. I will try this. Thank you again. Oh I had an xray learning also I have arthritis in my toes. Metarsal pad is wearing out plus the bunion which are all on my Left foot, My right foot is fine.
You are most welcome. The taping should really help then based on your past experience. It can be a little tricky to master but makes a big difference. Then strengthen your foot muscles to help maintain alignment
@@freestylefeet2063 Thank you so kindly

台灣長庚醫院會做徽創手術，聽說三天後就可以下地走路，我一位朋友在美國手術要用枴杖數月，不知道為什麼差別這麼大。
I tried this today and it really helped alleviate the pain. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Im assuming this tape is waterproof and would need to be change every day
Yes it is waterproof and I would suggest leaving it on for a few days, then a day off for the skin to recover and then repeat
Wondering when you suggest to do taping? As a runner with severe bunions that pulsate with pain and callouses after every run I'm wondering if this is a method I could incorporate before/after runs.... assuming this isn't something you'd be able to run with as I don't think my shoes would accommodate that much tape.
Great question- we like to tape for 1-2 days at a time then take a break to give the skin a rest. However in your situation being a runner - I would certainly suggest trying to tape for runs. The tape will fit well into most shoes and is well tolerated. Otherwise we will use kinesiotape which is very flexible. Lastly, if you need more room in your running shoes check out brands like Topo and Altra which have a wide toe box
Thanks, where can I find this tape?
Check with your local Physio or Podiatrist or pharmacy. We stock Rocktape on our website freestylefeet.com.au if you can't find it locally.
QUESTION: what % of tension are you using when tapping?? Ie: 40%, 70 % etc etc
Great question - this depends on the degree of correction required. Ideally 40%, otherwise the tension can be a little too strong to last, but in short - enough to straighten the toe
Do you tape every day? Is the tape costly?
I suggest leaving the tape on for a short period-1,2 days then giving your skin a rest and then repeating. Tape is not that expensive , and research shows it is effective for short term bunion treatment
I have on other size of foot who to tape that please can do video on that
Taping for a bunionette? OK, will put this in the pipeline for you - the same principle applies
I have a severe bunion on my left foot would this work?
Severe angulation is challenging to correct without surgery, the steps will likely assist with discomfort and hopefully prevent further angulation
Give it a try and see what happens!
@@freestylefeet2063 unfortunately I'm looking at needing surgery.
@@jomartin6209 whilst we believe in avoiding surgery if possible, the modern procedure is very effective and may be the best choice if the angulation is that significant
That's a lot of taping
Adresse svp
We are in Australia
我包了之後皮膚過敏發癢⋯⋯不能用😂⋯⋯
Try a hypo allergenic tape- like Rocktape or similar
This person using wrong shoes
too much pointed shoes. This foot have too bunions at big and smallest toe. Also need tape over bunions
How about showing this with someone who actually has bunions?!!😠
I can assure you this patient does indeed have hallux valgus (bunions) the angle may not reach the severe category but she has 35-40 degrees of angulation .
She does have bunions! Not that I think that’s necessary to demonstrate. They start small - they don’t just appear in extremis overnight!
