Exercises for Post Bunion Surgery

GloryB-TV

63,224 views

Exercising your foot after bunion surgery for the many weeks following surgery is a key element to healing. It will help you to gain back your range of motion in your foot.

I'll show you the exercises given to me by my doctor and by my physical therapist, how I started doing each exercise at first, and how I've progressed to make the exercises more challenging.

You can see all of my videos about bunion surgery on one playlist at this link:

Had mine done 5+ years ago.... long recovery... had a PT tell me that I'd never do planks again because I wouldn't get the flexion back.... HE WAS WRONG! :)

Thank you for posting this. I had bunion surgery and was given no instructions on how to walk/stretch my foot once out of the cast. This video helped tremendously :)

I just had surgery 2 weeks ago. I can't wait to be cleared to do these therapy exercises. Thank you so much for sharing. My physical therapy copayments are expensive. If I can cut back on therapy visits by doing these exercises shared. I'll save money and time ❤

I had surgery 3 years ago and went to physical therapy which really helped me, but I had to have the surgery again about 4 weeks ago and for some reason I was recommended not to go to therapy even though it would've been helpful. Thank you so much for this video, I just started doing these exercises two days ago, and I can already see an improvement in my mobility in my toe ❤🙏

Doctors denied my pt even after I asked multiple times. I know have hip issues because I don’t walk flat. I’ll never be able to wear heels. I’m young and unmarried so this bothers me. This video is more help then any doctor gave me.

@julesalison325 3 years ago

Thank you so much. I’m so annoyed b/c my doctor gave me NO exercises to do and told me NOT to go to physical therapy. I can tell my foot/toe are struggling to re-learn how to function normally (like the muscles are stiff and have gone to sleep or something) so I will be trying all of these!

I am 26. Just had my bunion surgery almost 4 weeks ago. Stumbled across your videos. ☺️ super helpful.

Invaluable information, thank you for the bunion surgery series. It has assisted me tremendously. At four months post-op, I am still recovering.

@user-uz2lq7gx6l 4 years ago

After being very disappointed with PT, I found your video and used your stretches for my first removal and now have no stiffness, even though I was warned I may not be able to do my usual workouts. Other than the scar, I'm good! I have my second surgery soon and know I will be great following this video. Thank you!

I thought you very clear in your directions and pictures! Was very helpful to me. I am almost at week #4 and pain has not been unusual. Much of time, not at all, and sometimes it feels warm and itchy. I was able to take showers after 2 weeks and that helped a lot. Also had the hammertoe with my bunion and 3 of the toes got splints as they were curving too much towards the big toe. I use a large zip lock (I think quart size) filled with clear Karo syrup and then put inside a pillowcase. It freezes quickly but is nice and flexible so I can semi wrap it around my foot. I actually have two of these. I was hoping I would be driving after my 4 week appt in a few days, but maybe not based on your video. What a dramatic difference when I look at the Xrays! The other foot will be done once I can put all my weight on the foot that had surgery. I realize how much I had to depend on standing on one foot. Thanks for taking the time to video this.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video! I really appreciate it!😃

Thanks so much for this video! Very helpful as I am just out of the bandage from bunion surgery and trying to get my toe down to the ground and foot working again - this is so helpful! 💌
