Thanks for this video! I’m finding it helpful. My podiatrist has just had me in really restrictive orthotics and not suggested exercises. I’m finding that I’m losing mobility in my foot, so I’m hoping some of these will help. I need it for my sport (figure skating) to push through my toe
Thanks for the comment, Maram. Yes, bunions can cause issues all the way up to the knee. Bunions often are seen in people with low arches (flat feet), which causes compensations in the lower leg and can result in issues at the knee. You should read my in-depth article on bunions.

Great video! I really like the content of the channel, the truth is that the videos are quite dynamic and help me a lot to do the exercises and relax or soothe the body after exercise. Keep it up! I would like to know if in future videos you could do a review about footwear that you use, recommend or tips to choose for training and before training to relax and care for our feet such as sandals, flip flops or minimalist shoes that you recommend for comfort. Thanks so much!
Is the redness under the toe just a result of the pressure standing on one foot or is there actual pain or discomfort from the movement? If you’re doing that exercise on a hard surface (ex. Hard wood floor), one could try doing it on a softer surface like carpet to see if it still causes the same result. Also, it would be interesting to try doing it in a pair of athletic shoes rather than bare feet to see if there is a difference. Ultimately though, if any exercises causes increased pain or discomfort, I recommend not doing it as you can focus on the other exercises that you can tolerate without issue. Then, later on, try to revisit the previous exercise and see if it’s more tolerable then.
Hi, I'm suffering with pain alot sometimes and I'm working women with 12 hour shifts. I tried exercise, split, hot and cold pack. What i can do now i feel pain in knee and back as well and my bunion is very painful in rt foot and moderate in lt foot
In the case of limited hand/eye coordination or hand/toe coordination, the only way to improve your ability to isolate toe movement is to practice it. It would be similar to you trying to learn how to wiggle your ear. It will take time and practice, but eventually you’ll get it and your brain will make the connection. Keep at it 🙂

Great ideas and thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Hi! thanks for the video. Last exercise Causes redness or discomfort under my toe. Is it still okay to continue doing it?

What can I do to get started if I can’t move my big toe independently of my other toes AT ALL for that exercise?
Do you feel that you can’t move the toe independent of the others because you’re lacking the coordination or because the toe physically can’t move?
I’d say coordination. They can move together but not independently of each other.
In the case of limited hand/eye coordination or hand/toe coordination, the only way to improve your ability to isolate toe movement is to practice it. It would be similar to you trying to learn how to wiggle your ear. It will take time and practice, but eventually you’ll get it and your brain will make the connection. Keep at it 🙂
Place your other foot gently down on the toes - then try lifting the big toe. I'm a senior with severe bunions and this trick really helped.
@@nominir3535 Happy to hear it! Thanks for the comment. 🙂
