You have beautiful feet. Wow. Wish I had that. I am currently coming down with one foot problem after the other. In growns, neuromas, mild bunion on the left. Trying to get as much information as I can get. Cutting out the in-growns was hell. Trying to be pro active with the other issues. Good video.
ofosusam thank you. Great to hear you are working on your feet. Make sure your foot wear toe box is wide and the sole allows good movement. All the best!
Helpful video, easy to follow. I'll add that to my daily routine and look forward to reducing my bunions. Think I'll trace around my feet so I'll have an image for comparison once I've been practicing the routine regularly. Hopeful, Vicki
Hi Vicki, Thanks for your message. Good idea to do an outline, you may also like to take a photo. Do note that bunions usually get worse over time so even halting the decline initially is a good result. Overtime I have seen them reverse with regular use of the exercises in this video or similar.
Hi Nigel and Helen, if your toes overlap or are heading that way then a toe spacer can be helpful to wear as long as it is comfortable. Gently working on your feet daily will produce best results. Over time it is usually the case that less treatment is needed. Important to wear zero drop wide toe box shoes.
This is great, thank you! I’m having trouble with the exercise where you drew your toes together, I’m struggling to do it without bending my toe-joints, any tips? I’m also wondering if severe bunions have been corrected this way? I have mild bunions so I’m hoping I can reverse them.
Thea's Mummy, thanks for your question. If you are having trouble with drawing up your metatarsal arch you are not alone😊. Try putting your fingers under your toes, using the pads of your fingers to draw out your toes so they don’t bunch, while really trying to get the little boney bumps of your metatarsal heads to rise up. It will take practice with lots of concentration. Keep at it daily! Yes you should be able to reverse mild bunions using my method. I have a patient with severe bunions who is working on hers and keeping track of her progress with tracings and photos. It just takes time. Without working on your feet bunions tend to progress over the years.
Thank you, I’ll keep trying! Do you mean to use my fingertips on the tips of my toes to pull the toe to stop myself bending at the middle toe-joint? Do you know if any other exercises to work this arch? I have been told to work on it as mine has collapsed some abs I’m hoping to strengthen it and realign my toes. Thank you for sharing your success stories, there is a lot of contradictory information on bunions out there, so it’s good to know that it is possible to reverse them!
Goldensoles, in 26 years in clinical practice I haven’t seen any happy results to surgery so avoiding is the best plan. Do the exercises most days till your toes are fully comfortable then top up if any pain reoccurs and over time hopefully you won’t have any more problems. Getting to know your feet is ideal 🤗
Οh sorry i did not see this video before..o have done surgery on both my feet last year one and this year the other...i will start doing these excerizes...i do not want to have to do again such surgery!!!
Thank you for the video and the inspiration In your experience can the bunion improve by doing this and if yes do you know about how long do you need to do this Thank you so much for Have a bless day
Radu Blaga thanks for your comment. As you know our feet do a lot for us every day and giving them some care is a wonderful thing that ideally we keep on doing as we get older. 😊
Panda Bts the video shows how to first warm up your feet them get the toes moving better. Doing just one exercise won’t work as well. Daily work is important especially initially until your feet are functioning.
Thanks, that was helpful. I’m just starting to develop a problem in my left foot and am hoping it isn’t too late to reverse it. Also you have beautiful feet!
Terry Fan thanks for your comment. Sounds like you are catching the bunion early. Do work on it regularly, like daily until it’s eased up. Let me know how you go in 3-6 months
Is it ok to do these exercises throughout the day instead of in one go? I have two young girls so it’s easiest for me to fit them all in if I break them up throughout the day :)
Hi Simona, Everyones foot will be slightly different, however it has worked for me and all the patients who have done the exercises regularly. I suggest you give it a try!
Antonella Micheli can you move your toe gently with your fingers or is it very stuck? If so you may like to see your local practitioner who can organise an X-ray for you. Just remember it’s been a long time coming so you will need a long time of getting it moving again to change the boney structure. But it’s worth it! 😊
@@cityosteopaths2726 thanku...when i started ballroom dancingi started getting pain2 years ago...now i do a lot of massage less dancing,it i s better ..now i have started toe abductions.. etc...i
Hi Antonia, that’s great you can move your toe gently with your fingers. The high heels for your ballroom dancing will probably be exacerbating your bunion/toe stiffness and pain. I recommend you work on the exercises gently, especially toe abduction and reduce the high heels as much as possible. Best wishes, Melanie Young, Reg Osteopath
Soooo, I take my son out to McDonalds for breakfast and sit next to a table of women talking about whether or not their feet are pretty. They asked for my humble opinion and of course after careful consideration proclaimed them all to have equally pretty feet. My 5 year old of course goes home and promptly tells his mother I was playing footsie with four women at McDonalds. We now have to eat at Burger King.
Thank you, what a fabulous video! Beautifully explained exercises and great to now know what to work on. Thank you Melanie!!!
Thank you! Glad to help.
Buenos días..

Thanks Louisa, I am very glad to help. Please encourage her to do some work on her feet daily and she will get to progress well.
Fantastic video thanks Mel, also appreciate the advice given today.
I’m starting these exercises right away 🙏
Thank you Kate, so lovely to see you in person and very glad to be of service. Have fun helping your feet 🤗

Hi I have heard that a toe spacer is necessary to put the joint in proper alignment before exercising?

Ur voice is amazing
Where can I buy that kind of ball?
Hi Flor, Try googling 'spiky ball' in your area of the world. We have them for sale at our practice if you are in New Zealand!
Buy them in pairs--they are for drying clothes in the dryer

Great video. Thank you. The pain in my bunion comes and goes. The pain will come after months or years then stops. I want to avoid surgery.
