What Are Bunions?
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. It occurs when the big toe is pushed out of alignment due to pressure, often from tight or ill-fitting shoes, genetics, or improper foot mechanics. Over time, this misalignment can lead to:
-
Pain and swelling in the joint
-
Limited range of motion
-
Stiffness and redness
-
Difficulty walking or wearing shoes
How Massage Therapy Can Help with Bunions
At AHC Wellness Clinic, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) use targeted techniques to reduce the discomfort and tension associated with bunions. While massage won’t "cure" a bunion, it can be a powerful tool in managing symptoms and improving overall foot function.
Benefits of Massage for Bunions:
-
Reduces inflammation and swelling around the joint
-
Improves circulation to promote healing and reduce stiffness
-
Relieves tight muscles in the foot, calf, and lower leg
-
Eases tension in surrounding structures like the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon
-
Improves gait and balance by addressing muscle imbalances
Massage therapy can also prevent secondary issues like hip, knee, or lower back pain that may result from altered walking patterns due to bunions.
