If movement is a big part of who you are, but pain keeps slowing you down, it might be time to take a smarter step forward.

The 𝘼𝙣𝙠𝙡𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚 is a simple, powerful exercise we often recommend to clients who want to keep hiking, training, or walking pain-free.

𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙬 👀

Why it works:

✅ Improves ankle mobility
✅ Activates calf & shin muscles
✅ Reduces joint friction
✅ Supports fluid, comfortable movement

✨ Most people don’t realise how much joint stiffness contributes to shin splints, ankle pain, and fatigue.

Whether you’re training for a hike, recovering from a flare-up, or trying to stay on track with your active goals - this is a great one to add to your routine.

You don’t have to settle for that.

When foot or heel pain starts affecting how you walk, train, dance, or show up at work, it’s not “just getting older.”

It’s usually a movement issue that hasn’t been properly addressed.

And that means there’s still 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚. 🙌

At Foot & Leg Centre, our approach isn’t about slowing you down.

It’s about helping you 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 -comfortably and confidently.

✅ No surgery
✅ No permanent orthotics, in most cases
✅ No relying on rest alone

Just smart care that targets the root cause of movement issues - so you can 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚.

👣 “𝙄 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣.”

It’s one of the most common things we hear from people dealing with bunions - especially when the bump keeps growing, shoes feel tighter, and no one’s explained why it’s happening.

You might’ve been told:

🔁 “Wear better shoes”
🔁 “Use toe spacers or orthotics”
🔁 “Wait until it’s bad enough for surgery”

But rarely is the 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 properly assessed.

👉 Many bunions 𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣’𝙩 caused by bone growth. They’re caused by joint misalignment.

And that means there may 𝙗𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 to help reduce the pressure and pain if you take early action.

At the Foot & Leg Centre, we start by looking at how your foot is functioning. We use a hands-on method called 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙈𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 (𝙁𝙈𝙏) to improve joint movement and support long-term change, without jumping straight to surgery.

So, if you’re the type of person who likes to understand what’s really going on and what options exist beyond “wait and see” - we’re here for that conversation.

𝙄𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚…

Many people are told to “𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙖𝙙 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙮.”

But bunions don’t usually start with surgery, and they don’t have to end there either.

What often makes the biggest difference is understanding 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙙.

In many cases, bunions are linked to 𝙟𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, not just bone growth.

And that means there may be 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 than you’ve been led to believe.

Getting clarity earlier can help you:

• Understand what type of bunion you’re dealing with
• Know whether conservative, natural options may be suitable
• Make informed decisions - instead of waiting and worrying
