5. Massage and Stretch Your Feet
Unfortunately, there are no massage or stretching techniques that can cure the development of a bunion. However, there are stretches and exercises you can do to increase the strength of your foot, and work out the tension that’s building up in the ligaments, such as the peroneal tendon and plantar fascia.
Start your therapy session by pulling your toes apart and massaging the tissue in-between each digit. Then, take a marble, and try to pick it up by spreading your toes apart. This exercise may be challenging and cause pain for those individuals with severe bunion symptoms.
Massage and stretch the fascia tissue under your foot by standing on a tennis ball and rolling it from the heel to the ball of your foot. When you reach the ball of your foot, press down hard to separate the tendons in the toes -Repeat this stretching and massage twice a day when possible.
