Thankyou so much for your generosity in sharing this advice. The NHS won’t help me, and I can’t afford private care, but you are a blessing 🙏

Watch my bunion and corn videos. I’m actively looking for ways to eliminate them from my toes. I may eventually get them surgically removed 😢 I’ve been dealing with this for 20 years!

[@lindab4152]

Back in the late 70s, I had developed bunions on each foot after wearing pointy shoes to work. I saw an orthopedic guy, and he gave me a “prescription” to take to a shoe repair person, in order to install a metatarsal bar across the sole (on the bottom) of my favorite shoes. It was magic. That bar spreads those joints where the toes meet the foot across the whole foot and immediately straightens the toes. The bar just needs to follow that line of joints, is about 1.5-2 inches wide and only about 1/8th of an inch thick. It cured mine very quickly and my feet felt so good wearing the shoes. Now I only wear Birkenstocks and have never had recurring problems. Hope that helps someone!!

[@maryloudelossantos1624]

You are the best! Video is helpful. Thank you, Will.

[@farahpagar]

Very good suggestion

[@barbaramcmillan3835]

Thank you. Too late for me, but I at least don't need surgery, just have major issues with blisters.

[@Sharingthegospel4u]

can you explain this bar thing. im interested.

[@lisaelliott3864]

Thanks for sharing!

[@erniefedorowych5955]

Lots of great advice for bunions. Thanks for taking the time to be so comprehensive. Physiotherapists are so much more attentive. A tremendous amount more helpful information than my podiatrist offered. They just have the 10 minutes to look at your foot and provided the standard, protocol approved response that requires the least amount of dismissive effort.

[@HT-Physio]

Time is definitely always restricted - so I'm glad I am able to reach lots of people through my channel!

[@florawillis1384]

Wonderful info. I massaged and exercised my feet on my own before i've ever heard this. I did some of this listening to your video, I can already tell the difference thank you.

[@letigre5822]

Wow that exactly my experience I had lol

[@julieellis6793]

I've had bunion surgery on both feet but now one of them has developed a new one. This was so helpful because I don't want to go through that again, at 80 years old.

[@stephaniecarodine1572]

I also had bunion surgery on both feet over 2 decades ago and I also have one foot where the bunion is starting to come back. I also don’t want another surgery, so yes, stumbling on this video makes me hopeful.

[@letigre5822]

@@stephaniecarodine1572wth you look so young tho for having surgery two decades ago ?? How old were you? Although I tell people.. I’ve had a bunion since fifth grade I swear it was always there lol

[@nancys2839]

I've had 3 bunion surgeries, the 1st when I was 29 and it came back! I had the 2nd in 2019 on the same foot before the pandemic along with a torn tibial tendon transfer and hind foot reconstruction in 2 surgeries 8 weeks apart. I had my other bunion on the other foot 13 months ago. The reason I had bunions so young is rheumatoid arthritis and hypermobile joints. I happen to live on private wooded acreage with steep long roads and I love walking here although my walk is considered a hike to most. My feet are much better since my surgeries and it wasn't much fun but I'm doing great now! Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!

[@lunanera693]

Hi, I would like to know if post-surgery is very painful and how long does it take to recover to be able to walk?

[@lourdestolentino485]

So according to your experience of bone surgery it will not be totally corrected it will come back? Am 70 yr old have a bunion problem using only rubber toe separator a bit relief of the discomfort am planning to have a surgery in the near future.

[@ambrosiofamily6902]

I did the surgery thing for both feet in the past but at 66 years old I don’t want to ever undergo surgery again. I have cleaned up my eating (first keto, now carnivore) years ago and feel like a million bucks, and will avoid the medical industry at all costs now. Thank you for your advice.

[@carolmoore4849]

Thank you! As someone who has recently been diagnosed with bunions, I was not given any exercises to do but told that surgery was really my only option. I’m going to try your exercises before I opt for surgery!

Surgery often means more problems, so try it, and sketchers are great, I use wide fit... it really makes a difference 🙂

[@Misaki-4113]

same here they told me that I need surgery for both feet and I am gonna prove those wrong these days, doctors are just after the money

I was born a club foot, left worse than the right. I went through the casts and braces as a baby, but babies grow up. Everyone thinks my feet are "fixed". They actually are just re-arranged. I wish I would have had these exercises 45 years ago. I did them as you explained them and could feel the pull. It was a good pull. I won't over do. I am going to try to strengthen my feet. Thank you so much!

[@mollysmith7191]

What exercises would you suggest for people with bunions on the little toe? Thanks for these videos - very informative!

[@barbiekat6352]

The protrusion at base of your little toe is called a bunionette or a tailor's bunion. I imagine the same kind of principles for these…🤷🏻‍♀️

[@margaretr5701]

Those form on the little toe from shoe pressure. It helped when I changed to different types of shoes.

From all the videos I ve seen so far about bunions, yours was the most easy to comprehend and follow through out. The information on the hip and toe relationship has been so revealing and now everything concerning bunions makes sense to me. Thank you for being thorough and at the same time easy to listen to, concentrating only on the important things. Thank you for the exercises, just did them and I can feel a difference straight away.

[@sophieperras9909]

Very interesting explanations. I had a bunion operated done by a wonderful surgeon. The non invasive method came from the US, but was improved by Spanish surgeons. No pain at all , I followed the instructions given to me after the operation. When I came back after a month for a check up I congratulated the surgeon for the great work. His answer really was astonishing : But Mam it's not only me, it's also you who helped in following my instructions. I need an operation for the second foot. I will do the exercises advised by HT Physio and see if I can fix it myself. The explanations on how to correct a bunion on the screen are fine except that the written part is hiding the pictures of the foot. It's a pity! It would be lovely if a solution could be found. Thanks for your work.

[@satyapremhiremath7648]

Great tests. You are excellent. I am 62 years and you have motivated me a lot.

[@HT-Physio]

That's great to hear!

[@childcrone]

With shoes I also think it's so important to have them stay wide out at the toes. Those Nikes are wide across the ball alright, but then taper in on the toes. In movements when the foot is pressed against the inside edge or into the toe, there will be those outward-bending forces on the big toe that you don't want. I really appreciated the clear explanation & visual location of those particular foot muscles to address.

[@susyg2974]

Those shoes are hard to find though aren't they!

[@childcrone]

@@susyg2974 Not too hard these days :~) There are many brands making good, natural-function-friendly shoes. Three I have experience with and can happily suggest are Splay!, Vivobarefoot, and Altra. But if you're referring to in actual stores, yes, that's true!

My box was too wide and caused me to have bunions, grr!

@@TinekeWilliams Were they just wide at the ball of the foot, but still tapered at the toe? It's that taper that pushes the toe out.

[@cjohnikin]

Love this video! I originally thought the deformed bone was the result of heels, but I realized I only wore wide toed heels, not pointy ones (didn't like the style and my feet were too wide for a pleasing look lol!). A few years ago I began to have issues with my back and started seeing a chiropractor who informed that the left side of my body was weak and while watching your video realized that is the side where the bone protrudes on my foot. He also told me to include the same exercise you suggested (The Clam) to help strengthen my hip. Also, I noticed that my leg does swing inward more.. I never imagined the issues with my hip and weaknesses could cause this issue. I just considered having surgery to correct this issue but now will no longer entertain this option. I am definitely adding your band exercise daily. I have already removed heels (began falling). Thanks again for your generosity!!! Blessings.

I am 68 and was born with foot issues. I was meant as a child to wear special shoes but of course back in the early sixties the shoes were awful, horrible brown things not the wonderful choice we have today. Over the years I developed terrible bunions and my big toes go under the next toe. I was led to believe I had no arches but a podiatrist told me I did the problem seemed to stem from my ankles. As soon as I stand my ankles push my feet over and my feet pronate. I will try these exercises with interest as I get cramp in my feet due to my toes not being in the correct position. I will be interested to see if these exercises help but anything will help to be honest. Thank you Will for an interesting video, I also have your recent book.

Thank you so much for saying how i can treat this at home i appreciated the way you explained ❤️

Thanks for a great video. I’m anxious to try it. I didn’t know there are exercises to treat bunions.

Wow, you make this so understandable, thankyou so much. The clam exercise really opened my eyes as I've had 2 hip replacements on my right hip and could really feel those muscles work.

I have an appointment today to see the dr to ask him to refer me for surgery. I just watched your video and I hope even though I have a painful bunion that your exercises will help. I’m going to start today. I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Thankyou.

Great to hear you'll be putting these to good use!

[@beverleyclarke7327]

Very informative 👏 thanks. I am suffering with bunion and seeing the toe going towards the others.

[@mindyboone7491]

Thank-you so much! Do you have any before/after patient results using these methods to correct a bunion?

[@SeniorLady]

Thanks so much for the explanation about the muscles involved in this process. I'm so grateful for the physical therapist who helped me correct my leg (misaligned since birth) that was the cause of the bunion, and while correcting the leg stopped further progress of the bunion, I'm excited to see how these massages & exercises will help improve it further. One additional tip (beyond shoes with large toe boxes) is to make sure your socks also are nice and loose. Once I got good shoes, I realized my socks were constantly pulling my toes together, and wound up buying the next size up - and soft bamboo - which really allows my toes to move freely.

Great tip! I'm glad you had a wonderful physical therapist that was able to support you - I hope my video can compliment their work!
