EXERCISES CAN HELP IN MANAGING BUNION OR HALLUX VALGUS
A bunion, also known as hallux valgus, is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, often causing pain and discomfort. While exercise cannot cure a bunion, it can help manage the symptoms and improve mobility.
1.Hallux Big Toe Extension Strengthening
Sit up straight on the floor or on your bed with a resistance band looped around your big toe. Hold the other ends of the band in both hands. Keeping your other toes still, pull your big toe towards you using the band. With some tension in the band, push your big toe back down against the resistance of the band. Continue to repeat this movement, ensuring your other toes remain still.
2.Hallux Big Toe Extension
Try and lift your big toe up and down.
3.Hallux Big Toe Distraction
Sit in a comfortable position. Place the foot you would like to do this exercise across the thigh of your other leg. Hold the base of your big toe with the thumb and two fingers of your hand on the same side. With some moderate grip around your toe with your other hand, pull your toe directly away from your foot. You may feel a slight gapping at the base joint of your toe. Hold this position, and then relax the pressure. Repeat as directed.
4.Toe Abduction
Sit up straight in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Practicing spreading your toes out, particularly your big toe. Attempt to keep your toes straight and in contact with the floor as you do this.
5.Heel Raises
Stand straight and point your toes in towards each other. Keeping this position with your feet, lift your heels off the ground, then control the return to the start position.
