    as a physiotherapist i can say this was a nice manual intervention, nonetheless you fixed nothing long term. the feet will go back to where they were before in a few days without proper training. btw "fixing" flat feet when the navicular bone already dropped is just not possible conservatively. just wanted to share my opinion since most people in the comments obviously are clueless

      You are so correct. In my physed class we only ever learned how to play half a dozen team sports and not well. We were told the purpose of the class was solely to learn teamwork and to keep our weight down. The problem with that of course is teamwork while good, leaves the individual in the dust and exercise does not help much with weight loss. In fact more often than not it causes weight gain.

      @@Asubatsu That is incredibly rare. I am not saying that exercise isn't good. But exercise tends to inspire overeating. It does add to muscle mass which increases weight but in a good way. I guess my point was not clear the way I stated it. In almost every case, when people begin an exercise routine, for the purpose of weight loss, they almost always increase their food intake to the point where it exceeds the calories burned thus adding to weight. Exercise makes you hungry and very few people have enough self control to prevent taking it too far. If you didn't make an effort to control your intake then you were one of the few rare lucky people that had the opposite experience. The other 99.9% of the population go as I described.

      My bf gave me one of the most painful foot massages yesterday. He concentrated on underneath my toes & I felt so sick from the pain. Especially my little toe. He also spread out my toes & worked in between the them from the top. I can now curl all of them over from the top joint!! Even the little one! I wasn’t able to do that before. It’s incredible.

    I played a lot of rugby as a kid, and had this recurrent ankle injury, where I kept spraining it and then returning to the team faster than the physio suggested. In the end I ended up with a thick calcium build up along the tendon along the soul of my foot, where they had to flex my toes back and palpate it to break it up. Worse pain I have ever experienced, felt like crunching ice in my foot.

I cried. I relived traumas I'd forgotten. I wish I'd gotten a massage gun YEARS ago!

    If you are able to and can ( Don't have surgery) I wanted my bunions done and I was told my ankles were turning inward so I had both procedures done. They slice your whole heel off and screw 7 nail and a plate in your foot. Two years later and I'm still hurting. Steroid shot in my ankle once every 2-3 months and then I repeat each time the pain comes back.. better shoes and physical therapy. That's what I recommend.

    Enjoyed watching this and know how painful fascial release work in the foot can be! Seemed to be one glaring omission though. What causes these kind of feet issues? Conventional footwear, i.e thick padded soles, narrow toe boxes and heels. Doing all this work and then continuing to wear bad shoes is a waste of time. Get some barefoot shoes and experience the freedom and athleticism of allowing your feet to function as they were designed! I made the shift 3 years ago and could never go back. Truly game changing.

I blew out every pair I did have which wasn’t many because of family financial issues. I played sports, hiked, worked out in way to small shoes. I’m 33 and only just at 28 genuinely had a pair of 16s, but I think I might still need wider than 4e. My toes are crunched together and curled sideways (to fit in small shoe) and about 10 years ago while hiking something happened (no idea what) and I have pain randomly in the same spot of my right foot that hurts to relax.

    SALUTE TO U FOR DOING THIS NATURAL!!
    But I believe they have a brace for the foot that separates the big toe from the rest that u have to wear everyday nd it's supposed to help...

I remember them impacting shoe decisions as young as 10, but they didn't start giving me issues until just a few years ago.

    I have plantar fasciitis, flat feet and bunions. I even had a bunionectomy performed on one foot which only removed the "knuckle" of the big toe. Both big toes still totally cross over the first toe. This is beneficial for foot health but there is no way to "fix" bunions. As you mentioned, they are orthopedic issues, calcifications as well as the toe growing in an abnormal direction over a period of time. It cannot be helped or reversed simply by myofascial release. I still believe this is extremely healthy and helpful and will increase foot flexibility, but no, it will not reverse a bunion, especially if it's congenital.

    So glad I came accross this video in my search for what might be wrong with my left foot. I've been seeing a chiropodist for what were diagnosed as papillomas but a day after they remove all the hard skin I'm still in pain, even without pressure on the affected area. I'm now leaning towards the idea that it could be a bunionette (bunion on pinkie toe) and will ask them to explore this during my next appointment. I'm a runner and wish I'd looked afer my feet better but becasue of pure bone-idleness I am now paying the price.

    This is only half of the therapy. Proper training changes the movement patters and alignment issues. And you don't need to go heavy with the external weights. Proper form increases the intensity and results. Also, I wear spacers either during the hours that I'm working, in which I'm on my feet for hours training clients or the spacers are worn when I train. As uncomfortable as it is, there's always a HUGE difference in the way my body is forced to function. I move in more relaxed, but powerful and more efficient patterns. This is also a great point of focus when training clients. Fantastic vid!🎯

When there is injury and inflammation in the foot just gently touching to move the area is blinding pain... imagine that same sensitivity except you're folding a nail back that grew into your toe... or someone is giving your foot an Atomic Noogie.

    12:50 a lot of cracking is infact not good. The cracking you hear is scar tissue from plantar fasciitis. And its super painful. it's like an abnormal burning pain. To get relief you can massage it but it will come back if you don't do the proper exercise or wear the right shoes.i used a cork ball and roll that under my foot and it worked womders. For the bunion however its a bone deformation. So no amount of adjusting will fix that unless your bone is made out of rubber you would need surgery to remove the bunion.

    For those that don't know, you can fix flat fleet and bunions by wearing barefoot/minimalist footwear.
    The shoes we typically wear these days forced our toes into a point, which is completely unnatural for our feet, and the arch support actually hinders our foot's own ability to support itself resulting in flat feet. If you transition, you should be careful and research.

      Backing this up - I used to go to work wearing "doll" shoes because it was part of the prescribed uniform (it was that or heels but I chose the former). I would experience tremendous pain in my foot everday and my bunion would always be throbbing.
      When the pandemic happened and I shifted to online work, I got rid of my former "work" shoes and bought sandals/open footwear. It was immensely comfortable and I no longer feel pain in my feet/bunions. I still have bunions but they no longer swell/make me uncomfortable.

      yes. as long as your flat feet are not caused by some tendon disease or other skeleteal problem. alot of people have what is called "fallen arches" If thats you, then you can get your arch back. Its not instant and the older and more support you have had to use the harder it may be. But it sure beats surgery. we have tons of tendons,ligaments and muscles that modern foot ware causes to atrophy. If you have built up to alot of support the transistion period may be slower then others. I'd reccomend looking at a brand called altra if you want a good toe box but still have cushion. But just know its not some magical fix it will take time and if you rush into strengthing your foot injury is quite easy. but its a sad time that instead of first suggesting rehab a doctor would just go "Oh, Surgery"
