The WORST PAIN | Fixing BUNIONS & FLAT FEET Without Surgery! | Trigger Point Therapy (Lex Fitness)

[@FilmrissGuitar]

as a physiotherapist i can say this was a nice manual intervention, nonetheless you fixed nothing long term. the feet will go back to where they were before in a few days without proper training. btw "fixing" flat feet when the navicular bone already dropped is just not possible conservatively. just wanted to share my opinion since most people in the comments obviously are clueless

So much suffering could be avoided if we taught this stuff in physical education classes. The Body needs education and training too! This patient is a hero!

[@nunyabiznez6381]

You are so correct. In my physed class we only ever learned how to play half a dozen team sports and not well. We were told the purpose of the class was solely to learn teamwork and to keep our weight down. The problem with that of course is teamwork while good, leaves the individual in the dust and exercise does not help much with weight loss. In fact more often than not it causes weight gain.

[@Asubatsu]

@@nunyabiznez6381 Losing 50 pounds at a warehouse job in 3 months with a dramatic increase and calorie intake with no regard to nutrition or diet would suggest otherwise.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

@@Asubatsu That is incredibly rare. I am not saying that exercise isn't good. But exercise tends to inspire overeating. It does add to muscle mass which increases weight but in a good way. I guess my point was not clear the way I stated it. In almost every case, when people begin an exercise routine, for the purpose of weight loss, they almost always increase their food intake to the point where it exceeds the calories burned thus adding to weight. Exercise makes you hungry and very few people have enough self control to prevent taking it too far. If you didn't make an effort to control your intake then you were one of the few rare lucky people that had the opposite experience. The other 99.9% of the population go as I described.

My bf gave me one of the most painful foot massages yesterday. He concentrated on underneath my toes & I felt so sick from the pain. Especially my little toe. He also spread out my toes & worked in between the them from the top. I can now curl all of them over from the top joint!! Even the little one! I wasn’t able to do that before. It’s incredible.

I’ve had flat feet ever since I was born. I was born with bilateral club feet, had to wear torture device shoes as a baby, which corrected my feet to be straight, but didn’t give me an arch. I work in a hospital and I’m on my feet 8 hours a day 5 days a week and my feet are filling me by the end of the day.

[@control2XS]

I played a lot of rugby as a kid, and had this recurrent ankle injury, where I kept spraining it and then returning to the team faster than the physio suggested. In the end I ended up with a thick calcium build up along the tendon along the soul of my foot, where they had to flex my toes back and palpate it to break it up. Worse pain I have ever experienced, felt like crunching ice in my foot.

Conventional footwear, i.e thick padded soles, narrow toe boxes and heels. Doing all this work and then continuing to wear bad shoes is a waste of time. Get some barefoot shoes and experience the freedom and athleticism of allowing your feet to function as they were designed! I made the shift 3 years ago and could never go back. Truly game changing.

I'm now leaning towards the idea that it could be a bunionette (bunion on pinkie toe) and will ask them to explore this during my next appointment.

I blew out every pair I did have which wasn’t many because of family financial issues. I played sports, hiked, worked out in way to small shoes. I’m 33 and only just at 28 genuinely had a pair of 16s, but I think I might still need wider than 4e. My toes are crunched together and curled sideways (to fit in small shoe) and about 10 years ago while hiking something happened (no idea what) and I have pain randomly in the same spot of my right foot that hurts to relax.

take a look at the brand altra. They have some of their styles in 16 and have actual toe shaped toe boxes.

I have plantar fasciitis, flat feet and bunions. I even had a bunionectomy performed on one foot which only removed the "knuckle" of the big toe. Both big toes still totally cross over the first toe. This is beneficial for foot health but there is no way to "fix" bunions. As you mentioned, they are orthopedic issues, calcifications as well as the toe growing in an abnormal direction over a period of time. It cannot be helped or reversed simply by myofascial release. I still believe this is extremely healthy and helpful and will increase foot flexibility, but no, it will not reverse a bunion, especially if it's congenital.

[@Demon09-_-]

yes. as long as your flat feet are not caused by some tendon disease or other skeleteal problem. alot of people have what is called "fallen arches" If thats you, then you can get your arch back. Its not instant and the older and more support you have had to use the harder it may be. But it sure beats surgery. we have tons of tendons,ligaments and muscles that modern foot ware causes to atrophy. If you have built up to alot of support the transistion period may be slower then others. I'd reccomend looking at a brand called altra if you want a good toe box but still have cushion. But just know its not some magical fix it will take time and if you rush into strengthing your foot injury is quite easy. but its a sad time that instead of first suggesting rehab a doctor would just go "Oh, Surgery"

[@dragonfirefunctionalfitnes7925]

This is only half of the therapy. Proper training changes the movement patters and alignment issues. And you don't need to go heavy with the external weights. Proper form increases the intensity and results. Also, I wear spacers either during the hours that I'm working, in which I'm on my feet for hours training clients or the spacers are worn when I train. As uncomfortable as it is, there's always a HUGE difference in the way my body is forced to function. I move in more relaxed, but powerful and more efficient patterns. This is also a great point of focus when training clients. Fantastic vid!🎯 However...🤔 Why did he have to take off his shirt? What was the purpose?

When there is injury and inflammation in the foot just gently touching to move the area is blinding pain... imagine that same sensitivity except you're folding a nail back that grew into your toe... or someone is giving your foot an Atomic Noogie. I definitely felt this dude's pain.

I've had stuff like that for rehab..I swear that was more pain than I could have ever imagined before /D

[@marleigh9194]

This poor man is gangster! I know the pain he must endure every single day, I pray if he stayed the course he’s better now. I’m looking at surgery in the next few weeks and determined to correct it through rebounding.

[@Journeylivin]

I’d like an update on his feet to see if this actually works

[@shaunpattinson1621]

I really don’t understand this; the “pain” of a deep tissue massage such as this is exquisite.

[@oyotv5446]

I don´t know why but physical therapy + martial arts sounds like a scary ass combo

[@godlywafflez]

Gives an immaculate impression of Gollum while simultaneously being the spitting image of Andy Serkis. You, sirs, have earned a sub! 😄

[@jasonlorphotofilms]

Toe spacers along with wide shoes with arch support actually helped my feet get back to normal. It feels weird at first but I started seeing results after the 15th day.

[@hoddy1368]

What type please I try searching but it’s just wide fit only

[@Demon09-_-]

@@hoddy1368 you can forget the need for arch support if you are trying to build an arch its kinda counter intuitive. anything in a human body supported long term will weaken its just how it works. But a cheap toe spacers to wear when not in shoes. and even say a brand like altra who has a foot shaped toe box will help stop the progression of your bunions.

[@Becky.Ray14]

I just came from the video where he did this a year before this one? [3 years ago] to see if there has been progress. these are such interesting videos.

[@cyanlama2163]

I did that by my own over weeks. All three days giving pressure, the others just massaging. I can handle pain better if I am the reason so I just can imagine how horrofying that has to be if you have no clue whats happening next :D

[@sarahlowe5165]

Brilliant viewing! Thank you for sharing this, so inspired to get something done about my feet. Your humour is brilliant 😂❤❤

[@kevincoverstone6479]

This is definitely by far the best video ever watched when it comes down to getting a foot massage. Nothing better than watching a big, burly guy cringe.

[@travisbrixius7814]

What type of massage therapist or Dr is this? I would love for my bunion to be fixed and rubbed out 😅

[@julianinthenow3358]

Lex does this make your sports tolerable getting this done every so often?

[@ItsMidnaCat]

Who would I have to go to for this kind of procedure and what is it called?

[@jenniferlopez8495]

I wish I knew about this last year because I had surgery for PTTD stage 4 from a flat foot (1 out of 10 people can get it at an early age since it mostly happen to seniors from so many years of standing). The healing process of surgery was the worst that my vocal cords were sore for a week from screaming when I could of gotten this and wouldn't have to deal with the surgery

[@ZohrehHadji-Agha]

TU for all these gems. I learned so much.

[@cre2763]

Just as the last treatment 2 years ago didn't work neither will this..... It has been long proven that you can not distort fascia via manual pressure. It actually takes approx 2040lb of force to distort fascia by 1%! If manual pressure of that force could be applied do you not think it would distort the skin first!!!?

[@oneness70]

It's not about distorting anything. It's about relaxing and stretching out contractions. The rest is going into it's place naturally afterwards. If you don't understand deep tissue treatment, don't try to be smart about it. 2 years ago it worked...that's why he is back only now. The body tends to recontract if you are doing hard workouts and professional sport. The result of the therapy does not last forever. Every serious sportsman and therapist knows that. I am a professional deep tissue sport therapist also....btw.

[@thegreatunknown8574]

@@oneness70 spot on

[@seanrobinson8747]

I've worked with a spinal client for a long time now and these foot massages are game changers. You can really appreciate the effect in someone who doesn't have the muscle activation to overcome chronic foot tightness. One massage can spread the toes for weeks, making it way easier to practice standing, sitting and walking.

[@MS-ye6wq]

@@oneness70 You're telling people they dont understand deep tissue treatment when theres not even evidence to it. (I am talking studies with real evidence standards not made for selling u more passive treatment junk - Blackroll, massage gun, DT Balls, cupping......) Did ever the idea cross your mind why LEX has to go to all these passive treatment therapies for so long? Back pain? -> Deep tissue massage or chirurpractic Shoulder pain? -> Deep tissue massage or chirurpractic Feet pain? -> Deep tissue massage If you squeeze your eyes hard and focus maybe u can see a pattern here and guess why its not getting better. I hope he sometime meets an evidence based therapist who teaches him that pain doesnt come from one functional disorder and educates him about all the tools you can use to fix not the SYMPTOMS but the problems. *If you catch yourself being one of those who believe The Fascia distorsions modell and all the magic selling/hype around it please inform yourself on REAL infos and not some IG/YT shit

[@cre2763]

@@oneness70 I do understand deep tissue treatment, that's why I know that the narrative being used by this therapist is inaccurate... He is talking about distorting things! 'Stretch the fascia' 'break down adhesions and scar tissue' etc... all things that are impossible to do with human touch. However, we may be able to change the perception of 'tighness' or contracture by calming the nervous system and by creating conceptual explanations. This therapist is definitely not changing the morphology of these feet in one session! Simply impossible without surgery! And to say his last treatment lasted 2 years that's bullshit.

[@Chipskrat]

Suffered through like a champ! Most have been excruciating.

[@FYPNLP]

i don't know how I ended up here. But I'm glad I did. Fantastic informative video and absolutely hilariously 😂😂😂😂

[@eddieharcourt6049]

I would pay big bucks for this treatment. How, please?
