Post-Bunion Surgery Exercise Program
Quick Answer: Post-bunion surgery exercises start week 2-3 with gentle big toe ROM. Progress to active stretching at 4-6 weeks. Strengthening 8-12 weeks. Return to running at 12-16 weeks. Follow your surgeon’s specific protocol.
Why Exercise Matters
Without consistent rehab, the great toe joint stiffens (hallux limitus). Daily exercises preserve motion and speed return to activity.
