Gymnastics against bunions on the feet

Gymnastics against bones on the feet will help the foot to unload, take the correct shape and even correct minor defects in the structure of the foot. Exercises that you will do every day will help to reduce or even completely remove the nasty bone from the surface of the big toe. You just need to not be lazy.

Why does a bone appear on a finger?

Conventionally, it is called a bone. In fact, it is a small cartilage, which is designed by nature to hold the big toe in the correct position. This cartilage is very vulnerable, and if a person wears tight shoes, if he has endocrine disorders, if a person has suffered a foot injury, the cartilage on the big toe begins to curve. The foot itself does not look as beautiful as before, which is especially upsetting for women. In addition, the woman's gait changes, it is no longer as smooth, due to the shift in the center of gravity of the foot, the woman may even begin to limp. What a nuisance!

But if the cartilage can be deformed, then its shape can be corrected - it will only take time and effort. Let us note right away that at the later stages of bone formation on the foot, gymnastics will not be able to help radically - an operation will be needed. But in any case, gymnastics has a beneficial effect on the foot and improves the state of health in general.

Exercise "Paper"

Warm up your fingers by walking for 20-30 minutes or just walking in place. Then try to grab a piece of paper from the floor (crumpled, because you are unlikely to pick up a flat sheet) and put it in your palm. If you don’t succeed right away, don’t be upset – try again and again. It will definitely work!

In addition to the paper, when you get the hang of it, you need to pick up more inaccessible objects from the floor with your toes. For example, a lighter, a pen, a pencil, a child's toy. The main thing is to do this every day and not get tired of training your toes. Then the joints of your foot will be flexible and the bone on your foot will no longer threaten them.

Exercise "fan fingers"

This exercise can be done by imagining yourself as a primitive man. In the past, they could grab onto trees with their toes and use them almost like we use our fingers now. Modern man has almost lost this function of the toes, so all that remains for us to do is to develop their flexibility. This allows you to stay healthy longer, because how you train your foot determines how long and well you can carry your own body weight. There are also many reflex points on the foot, and by moving your toes, putting them in different positions, you can improve the health of the entire body.

Try moving your toes - each one separately. At first, it may not work, but then you will get better and better. This will bring the ankle ligaments and the smallest muscles of the foot into a much better condition. If you walk on a slippery surface, find yourself in an awkward position, or stand on your feet all day - where an untrained person can fall and break a limb or dislocate a joint, a trained person will not get injured due to the flexibility of the foot. Making "fan-shaped toes", spreading them like fingers of a hand - is one of such training exercises. Do it every day, and in 2-3 weeks you will feel the difference in the condition of your feet.

Exercise "Alphabet"

After waking up, do a pleasant exercise for flexibility of your toes. Without getting out of bed, lift your foot and write letters with your toes. At first, you can write 3 letters for each foot, then increase the number of letters. Ideally, you write the entire alphabet with the toes of one foot - very soon they will become more flexible, strong, mobile. And then the growth of bones will not be a problem at all. Because your joints and muscles are already trained, and not static.

Exercise "Under tension!"

Strain not your nervous system, as most people do, but your toes. This will make them more trained, stronger, improve blood flow throughout the foot, and flat feet acquired at work will not be your illness at all.

Do the exercise like this: bend and unbend your toes, tensing them strongly when bending and relaxing them when unbending. Do this 10-20 times with each foot. Ten if you are not trained yet, 20 if you are already an experienced person in exercises.

If you already have bunions on your big toes, you need to train them separately. Buy a rubber ring, like the ones recommended for babies when they are teething. Put this ring on your big toes and try to bend them with this ring.

Also tense your thumbs and hold them in this position for 30-40 seconds, then relax for the same amount of time. You need to do 10 to 20 of these approaches with your thumbs. In 2-3 weeks, you will be able to surprise your acquaintances and friends with the increased flexibility of your fingers and the absence of any kind of growths on them.

Exercise "pencil"

This is something similar to grabbing a piece of paper with your toes, but a more complex exercise for those who are already experienced in training their feet. First, you need to warm up the pollen and the feet themselves. To do this, bend and unbend your toes with force, holding them in a bending position for up to 20 seconds, and relaxing for the same amount of time. Then throw a simple pencil on the floor and try to squeeze it with your toes so that you can lift it off the floor.

Hold the pencil above the floor for 20 to 30 seconds. Throw the pencil on the floor again, rest for 20 seconds and then get to work again. Train your feet in this way, 10-15 pencil lifts from the floor for each foot.

The interpretation of this exercise is more complex, but also more varied. Throw the pencil on the floor, take it with two toes – the first and second. As if you were taking the pencil with your hand. If at first you can’t do it, help to secure the pencil between your toes with your hands. And – let’s write. Write letters in the air with the pencil one by one as long as you can maintain your balance. Then take the pencil “with the other foot” – and write again.

This is interesting because you can even time how long you can do this grammar. Maybe you are better with your left foot than your right foot, and vice versa. Then you will know which foot needs to be strengthened more.

This is a good exercise to prevent bunions or to stop them from growing further.

Exercise "Bottle"

This is a very easy but very effective exercise for those whose feet do not bend very well, whose toes have already begun to harden, and it is also an excellent method for preventing bunions. While sitting in front of the TV, let your feet work. Place a regular rolling pin or a glass bottle under your feet (PET containers are too soft, they are not suitable for this purpose). Now roll this stick or bottle back and forth for two to three minutes. Then place the bottle under the other foot and roll again for the same amount of time.

All exercises that you choose to strengthen your feet and prevent bunions should be done every day. You can do them in the morning or in the evening. Ideally, it is advisable to include these exercises in your morning routine, and then unload your feet in the evening after work. The bunion will decrease as you train your joints and ligaments, as well as your leg muscles.
