Bunion Exercise Program
Quick Answer: Bunion exercises strengthen the foot and may slow progression but cannot reverse a bunion. Daily routine: toe spreads (20 reps), toe yoga, towel scrunches, big toe stretches, and short foot exercise.
Realistic Goals
Exercises help with pain and may slow progression — they cannot reverse a bunion. For correction, surgery (Lapiplasty) is the only option.
FAQ
Do toe spacers help?
They provide gentle stretch and pain relief but do not correct the bunion deformity.
