This pain treatment allows you to alleviate pain by yourself.

A Bunion Overview<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hallux valgus or more commonly known as bunion is a <strong>deformity of the big toe<\/strong>. Your big toe slides with an internal rotation very closely towards its neighbors &#8211; the little toes. As a result, the joint at the metatarsal bone (metatarsophalangeal joint) at the ball of the toe pushes farther and farther outwards and over time sticks out and causes discomfort. This is why hallux valgus is also called bunion toe or crooked toe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the ball of the toe, a <strong>bony lump<\/strong> causes <strong>friction<\/strong> and <strong>redness<\/strong> in the initial stage, and then, as it progresses, develops <strong>pressure points<\/strong>, <strong>blisters<\/strong>, <strong>calluses<\/strong> and <strong>swelling<\/strong>, which can be extremely unpleasant, especially in shoes. In medical terms, this is known as an exostosis, or ganglion at the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe. Depending on how severe the deformity (exostosis) and the ganglion at the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe is and how sensitive you are to pain, you may find it difficult to walk without great pain. It hurts mainly when rolling off your forefoot.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-536490527 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-298951031\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1289199838\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Fehlstellung_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Graphical visualisation of the hallux valgus malposition of the bones in the foot.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Fehlstellung_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Fehlstellung_Hallux_valgus_15042019-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Fehlstellung_Hallux_valgus_15042019-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1289199838 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">@ corbac40 | shutterstock.com<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-124149284\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, statistically speaking, hallux valgus (bunion) is the <strong>most common type of deformity or misalignment in the foot<\/strong> &#8211; physicians assume that about ten million people in Germany are affected. Within this group, women have this deformity in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe significantly more often than men, at about 75 percent.<sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-1\">1)<\/a><\/sup> In general, however, a change in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe occurs more often with increasing age. The causes most often given are: shoes that are too high and too tight as well as too much stress on the forefoot. What the exact causes of bunions are, is something that you will learn in the next chapter.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-124149284 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1570029856\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1203029433\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-medium\" id=\"section_884467042\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-width:0px 0px 0px 0;margin:0px 0px 0 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-1249701577\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1784670492\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1298526901\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Roland Liebscher-Bracht is performing a pain-free exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1298526901 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1784670492 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px -30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-781675799\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"uppercase\">JOIN OVER 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR PAIN THEMSELVES.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Sign up for The Pain Relief Advisor and each week we\u2019ll deliver free expert pain management content right to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All gain.

You constantly have blisters and pressure points on the ball of your foot, or your feet hurt? However, you are unsure whether this is a bunion? Let us help you in this chapter. We will first introduce you to typical symptoms and complaints of bunions. You can easily compare these with your own complaints. Then we explain the causes that can lead to a bunion. At the end of the chapter we, of course, will also explain how a bunion is diagnosed. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1234020434\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3><a id=\"symptome\"><\/a>2.1 Symptoms of Bunions<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Not every patient<\/strong> suffering from hallux valgus <strong>is also in pain<\/strong>. The discomfort and pain usually only occur when the deformity or toe misalignment is already very pronounced. Usually, the first symptom is a visible deformity of the foot and a reddening of the ball of the foot. At this stage, you can work against the deformity with <a href=\"#uebungen\">specific exercises<\/a>, initiate treatment and hopefully never get any complaints. However, even if you already have problems with your bunion, you can immediately alleviate them.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-122533468\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1948341284\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Erste_Anzeichen_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Feet above flowers, with the toe nails painted red.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Erste_Anzeichen_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Erste_Anzeichen_Hallux_valgus_15042019-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Erste_Anzeichen_Hallux_valgus_15042019-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1948341284 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1207984838\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>1. The Optical Change: Cosmetic or Medical Problem?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its initial stage you can &#8220;only&#8221; see a bunion: you will notice a small bump on the joint of the metatarsal bones. At the joint, the skin of the ball of the toe is often also slightly reddened and it looks as if you have bumped into something. If the bunion is already advanced, the bursa (bursitis) in this area can also become inflamed and you can feel a<strong> swelling on the ball of your toe<\/strong>. This is exactly the right time to start with our <a href=\"#uebungen\">exercises<\/a>! This way you can be certain to prevent the toe from leaning more and more towards the little toes as the deformity progresses. At the beginning, hallux valgus is therefore a rather cosmetic problem that over time becomes a medical problem\u00a0 you can prevent this with our exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-605440369\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, if you do not do anything about your hallux valgus, there will be long-term effects on the entire arch of your foot \u2014 the hollow space in the middle of your foot. A pronounced bunion will make the arch of your foot wider. In addition,<strong> claw toes<\/strong>, <strong>hammer toes<\/strong>, a <strong>hallux rigidus<\/strong> and further pain in the area of the metatarsus (metatarsalgia, pain in the metatarsal region) can occur. The falling of the transverse arch of the foot not only promotes further tilting of the big toe, but is also responsible for a splayfoot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-204675749\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_296083286\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Hallux_valgus_Titel_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A pair of feet on powder-blue ground, both affected by hallux valgus.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Hallux_valgus_Titel_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Hallux_valgus_Titel_15042019-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Hallux_valgus_Titel_15042019-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_296083286 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">\u00a9\u00a0MasAnyanka | shutterstock.com<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1342571256\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>2. First Onset of Pain:<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first time you feel pain, it is usually an unpleasant, pressing sensation. The metatarsal bone or metatarsal joint rubs against your shoes. Especially in high-heel shoes or shoes with pointed toes, walking becomes a torture. And to avoid the pain and calluses, you try to take load off your big toe, put it on the other toes and thus apply unnaturally <strong>excessive forces on your entire foot<\/strong>, especially the arch of your foot.

The ball of the toe becomes increasingly thicker in hallux valgus situations and this ongoing irritation caused by the deformity almost always results in <strong>bursitis<\/strong> as a complication. The pain in this stage is often unbearable, movement restrictions are severe and walking in your daily life is hardly manageable.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1794017130\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the time when many doctors recommend an operation in a clinic.

In this case, incorrect footwear or excessive weight on the foot are not necessarily the first reasons for the deformities. Instead, <strong>irregular growth of the toe<\/strong> may be the cause. Often it is genetic and runs in families who pass it on to their next generations. In most cases one speaks of a genetic mutation when the information of a deformity is already encoded in the genes.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2097495326\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, other skeletal diseases are also possible causes of hallux valgus. More often than not, a splayfoot is the trigger because in this case the metatarsal bone is already misaligned and allows the foot to fall and then widen. The big toe has to take on excessive stress which it then compensates by moving, resulting in a bunion.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, even if you have a genetic predisposition, in our experience, too much tensile pull on the muscles and fascia still may play a major role in your bunion. This is because this tensile pull is not balanced out properly and so your big toe is not pulled towards the little toes anymore, thus encouraging the deformity. Learn in the <a href=\"#behandlung\">next chapter<\/a> how you can do a lot of good for your feet despite your genetic disposition. This way you won\u2019t have to suffer from the pain that a bunion can cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-413627871\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_882865432\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schuhwerk_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Visualisation of the placement of feet in shoes and heels.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schuhwerk_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schuhwerk_Hallux_valgus_15042019-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schuhwerk_Hallux_valgus_15042019-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_882865432 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 80%;\">@ alphabe | shutterstock.com<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1826892909\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>What Does Wrong Footwear Have to Do with the Bunion?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particularly regarding bunions, high-heels or tight shoes often have a bad reputation: high heels and healthy feet\u00a0 they usually don\u2019t go together well. High heels mean that the rolling off movement of the foot is no longer fully executed, and the weight is almost entirely on the forefoot. In addition, certain shoes are not only very high, but also tight. The toes are pushed together and slide over each other.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1730128707\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For us, this is not a dogma. After all, there are also men with bunions and at the same time a lot of women wear high heels every day and still have no problems with their feet. So, you don&#8217;t have to lock away your favorite high heels just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The important thing is that you do regular balancing exercises to relax your muscles and fasciae, which are particularly stressed in tight shoes or high heels.

The tissue bends out more easily and the pressure on the joint capsule in the ball of the big toe increases. <strong>Arthrosis<\/strong> is a long-term consequence of damaged joint capsules and the wear and tear that goes along with it.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1272001796\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And again, it\u00b4s mostly women who are affected by this.

Tensions and pain can be the result. Restriction of movement &#8211; whether intentional or unintentional &#8211; should therefore never be a permanent situation and should always be compensated.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-355699457\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, even shoes in general are not necessarily good for your feet. They make the muscles in your feet &#8220;lazy&#8221; because they support your foot so much that the muscles have nothing to do anymore and become weaker and weaker. Therefore, here is our tip: Walk regularly barefoot and on as many different surfaces as possible. A barefoot path is particularly suitable here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A shortening in the Achilles tendon or calf muscles<\/strong> as well as complaints in the lower leg can also promote the formation of a bunion. The shortening in the calves and the Achilles tendon puts more strain on your forefoot. You will find uneven weight distributions in the toe-off phase when running. With a Hallux valgus your entire gait pattern changes. Additional exercises for your thighs and hip joints can therefore have a lasting positive effect on your complaints.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember: Only if you use the full range of motions your foot has to offer, the associated muscles can ensure the anatomical stability of the musculoskeletal system. Your feet are then well stretched, exercised and tension-free, so that pain has no chance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1135569906\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>2.3 Diagnostics: How Hallux Valgus Is Diagnosed<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although a hallux valgus is actually rather easy to spot, you can, of course, have it diagnosed by a doctor.

With the help of the X-rays your doctor can determine the exact severity of your hallux valgus. A certain <strong>angle<\/strong> is calculated for this. It describes the distance or deviation of your big toe from the other toe bones.<\/span><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-2\">2)<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mild hallux valgus: angle 21-30 degrees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">moderate hallux valgus: angle 31-40 degrees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">severe hallux valgus: over 40 degrees<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-3\">3)<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-985645907\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interesting fact: Two small bones called <strong>sesamoid bones<\/strong> also play a role in the diagnosis. These sesamoid bones are located under the metatarsal heads (part of the metatarsal bone) at the foot ray of the big toe, and numerous important muscles, ligaments and tendons are connected to them. During the toe-off movement they transfer the force of the big toe to the floor. The farther the metatarsal head and the sesamoid bone move away from each other, the more pronounced your hallux valgus position is &#8211; this can also be seen in X-rays. Over time, this does not only lead to a crooked position, but also to arthrosis in combination with joint wear and stiffening of the big toe.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-571970027\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-medium\" id=\"section_1481155608\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-width:0px 0px 0px 0;margin:0px 0px 0 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-1769469722\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1469737366\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1612353679\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Roland Liebscher-Bracht is performing a pain-free exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1612353679 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1469737366 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px -30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1199855599\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"uppercase\">JOIN OVER 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR PAIN THEMSELVES.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Sign up for The Pain Relief Advisor and each week we\u2019ll deliver free expert pain management content right to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All gain.

In the treatment of patients with hallux valgus, we were able to observe that surgery was actually recommended for only very few patients. Painkillers have also almost always proved to be unnecessary in the long run. After all, drugs do not treat the cause, but only the symptoms. In order to be really pain-free for good, you have to understand what actually triggers your pain! And this is exactly what we are going to explain to you now:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We at Liebscher & Bracht are of the opinion that <strong>neither age nor gender<\/strong> can be used as a comprehensive explanation for pain caused by a hallux valgus.

Repeated one-sided stress causes the muscles and fasciae of the feet to develop excessive tension. In the long run, the big toe is forced into the wrong position and the tendons are pushed out of place. Finally, the increased tensile stress in this situation causes the pain.

Walking barefoot on different surfaces! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your feet are always stuck in firm and rigid shoes, this does not exactly help in exercising your foot muscles. Insoles are also often detrimental to a healthy foot. You should walk barefoot on sloping and uneven surfaces, sideways, backwards and forwards. For example, don&#8217;t always pick up a dropped handkerchief with your hands, but also use your toes! Running barefoot trains and strengthens the foot muscles and provides more stability.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1749133783\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_2064167901\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Unterschiedliche_Schuhe_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A selection of different types of heels.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Unterschiedliche_Schuhe_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Unterschiedliche_Schuhe_Hallux_valgus_15042019-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Unterschiedliche_Schuhe_Hallux_valgus_15042019-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_2064167901 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-198598156\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><b>2.

This could make a difference of a whole shoe size! So, shoes that you buy in the morning may not fit you at all later in the evening. In order to prevent this in the first place, always try on your new shoes in the evening.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-297534404\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regain the wide range of natural movements your feet allow and thus overcome your complaints.

For example, you may be advised to wear <strong>shoes with a large toe box<\/strong>, put on <strong>orthopedic footwear<\/strong> with insoles or insert <strong>toe pads<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The so-called <strong>bunion roll<\/strong> is particularly popular. This is a special toe-off aid that is designed to take load off your middle and forefoot joints. The ball roll is mounted in a special orthopedic shoe behind the metatarsophalangeal joints.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Medication, Foot and Toe Exercises<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors usually prescribe<strong> anti-inflammatory ointments and painkillers<\/strong> to treat pressure sores and blisters on the soft tissues. Although we can understand that this is appealing at first, since it relieves your pain. But in the long term, you should work on the cause of the problem \u2014 i.e. training the muscles and fasciae in the foot. Because muscles that pull in the wrong direction lead to misalignment in the foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the hallux valgus is still in an early phase, doctors also rely on physiotherapy, including foot and special toe exercises during your treatment. We do not think this is a bad approach. This is because physiotherapy (hopefully) trains exactly the right muscles when you work on the foot. You are welcome to use our exercises as a supplement. Because it is not only important to strengthen your muscles with toe exercises but also to <strong>stretch them in the right places<\/strong> to prevent hallux valgus from progressing further.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-734798492\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1996311207\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Bandage_beim_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"A rolled up bandage.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Bandage_beim_Hallux_valgus_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Bandage_beim_Hallux_valgus_15042019-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Bandage_beim_Hallux_valgus_15042019-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1996311207 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1672137126\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>Taping, Bandages and Orthoses<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again and again we see that the big toe is taped in a way that pulls it away from the other toes. Different orthoses (Hallux splint, toe spreader) and bandages have the same idea. Sure, at first glance it makes sense to pull the big toe into its correct position. But more effective and longer lasting than a splint is a targeted stretching of the muscles and fascia. The orthosis or splint do not ensure that your foot gets settled in the new position all by itself.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1806497810\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If nothing else seems to help, an operation is considered a last resort.

Then your complaints must be very serious. We strongly recommend that you always consider an operation as a last resort and exhaust all other possibilities first. After all, what do you have to lose?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many doctors quickly advise you to <strong>correct your valgus position surgically<\/strong> (conversion surgery). Here, after a physical exam an apparently suitable surgical procedure is chosen, depending on the extent of the deformity.<\/span><sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-4\">4)<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<h4>Surgical Procedures<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The conventional method: In the case of a slightly pronounced hallux valgus, a soft tissue operation is performed close to the big toe joint. During the operation, the metatarsal bone is cut through (<strong>osteotomy<\/strong>) and then pushed back into its original position. It is fixed with wire or a screw and the excess bone is shaved off.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is how this surgical procedure works in detail: Often the <strong>chevron osteotomy<\/strong> or the <strong>Reverdin-Green-Laird-Osteotomy<\/strong> is used as surgical procedure. Both procedures are very similar: Via a small skin incision on the inside of your metatarsophalangeal joint, the head of the first metatarsal bone (metatarsal head) is aligned in a straight line and at the correct bone angle to the big toe. The head of the metatarsal, which is displaced in an external rotation, is then fixed in place either with a self-dissolving screw or a titanium screw. This implant is not removed after healing and remains in your foot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the hallux valgus is already very advanced, the operation is performed in the area of the metatarsus. The surgical technique is similar, but the incision is not made near the joint. This procedure to correct the valgus position often also corrects the beginnings of arthrosis, which may have developed due to the hallux valgus. However, if the ball of the big toe is progressing too much, a stiffening between the 1st metatarsal bone and the 1st tarsal bone may be warranted. This surgical procedure is called <strong>arthrodesis<\/strong> (arthrodesis according to Lapidus) by orthopedists.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1318934904\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1091125842\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schonung_nach_Hallux_valgus_OP_15042019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Kicking up your feet.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schonung_nach_Hallux_valgus_OP_15042019.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schonung_nach_Hallux_valgus_OP_15042019-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Schonung_nach_Hallux_valgus_OP_15042019-768x614.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1091125842 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-874493472\" class=\"col medium-9 small-12 large-9\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the surgical procedure, the foot often has to be protected for a few days while being elevated, after which walking is possible again with a so-called <strong>forefoot off-load shoe<\/strong>. The forefoot off-load shoe shifts the body weight to the heel alone, so that slow walking is possible without pain.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1662108809\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, this is a surgical procedure that can be accompanied by pain and <strong>complications<\/strong> in post-op.

Studies have shown that about 36 percent of 8 to 18-year-olds have an incidence (new disease) of hallux valgus<sup><a href=\"#\" class=\"lnb-footnote-anchor\" data-group=\"lnb-footnote-5\">5)<\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Girls are affected much more frequently<\/strong> than boys. Often these are children whose parents also suffer from bunion toe. The conclusion that this is genetic seems obvious. However, we do not share this opinion.

But especially in their growth phases, we believe it is much better to reduce the excessive tension of the muscles and fasciae in the foot with <a href=\"#uebungen\">targeted exercises<\/a> and to train the muscles in the right places. In this way, if things go well the deformity can simply be outgrown.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-31989110\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1176575131\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<span class=\"scroll-to\" data-label=\"Scroll to: #link5\" data-bullet=\"true\" data-link=\"#link5\" data-title=\"5.

Exercises for Bunions<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to one-sided stress on your feet, muscles and fasciae shorten so much that the joint at the ball of your foot is pulled farther and farther outwards and causes problems. With specific exercises for the inner side of the foot and the sole of the foot, which pain specialist Roland Liebscher-Bracht explains to you in the video, you can counteract these unequal tensions yourself. With regular training, your hallux valgus can improve significantly, and your discomfort and pain can disappear. In many cases, you can save yourself a stay in a clinic, an operation and follow-up treatment, which often takes several weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A short note: If you are not yet familiar with our exercises, please read our checklist under Exercise Description first.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1848085756\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p><b>Exercises for stretching, relaxation and strengthening of the foot muscles in hallux valgus:<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vXuHmjHLZ7Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1778324638\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_714988747\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-uebung-1-181019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Woman doing a foot exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-uebung-1-181019.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-uebung-1-181019-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_714988747 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1869796376\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>Stretching Exercises Against the Deformity:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stand up straight and take a step with your problem foot. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now shift your weight to this foot and kneel slowly with the other leg on the mat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As soon as you are standing securely, move your knee of the leg with the aching foot forward until you feel a strong pull running from the sole of your foot to the heel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Support yourself with your arms on the mat so that you can assume a stable position.<\/li>\n<li>As soon as the pain subsides, you can move your knee a little bit farther forward again.<\/li>\n<li>Increase continuously for two to two and a half minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2109639101\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1525326644\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-minirolle-1-181019.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Woman performing an exercise against hallux valgus using a fascia roll.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-minirolle-1-181019.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hallux-valgus-loswerden-minirolle-1-181019-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1525326644 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1066531647\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>Foam Rolling Massage with the Mini Foam Roller:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then place the inside of the front of your foot on the mini foam roller and pull your foot forward millimetre by millimetre using your toes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>When you have rolled past the toe base joints, you can also tilt your knee inwards so that the arch of the foot is evenly loaded.<\/li>\n<li>Now shift your weight farther and farther forward so that you can continue rolling hard with the back of your foot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-714541210\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h4>\ud83d\udccc Checklist for Liebscher & Bracht Exercises<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make sure nothing goes wrong with our exercises, we have put together seven important tips. They should help you to easily integrate the exercises into your daily life and achieve optimal results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Practice <strong>six days a week<\/strong> and do each exercise at least once a day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 For each exercise you should invest <strong>two to two and a half minutes<\/strong>. If you are just starting to do the exercises or if the pain is still too much, you can also gradually increase the intensity. Remember, however, that stretching for only a few seconds has little or no effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Always use your personal pain scale of one to ten as a guide. The best results are achieved if you work on <strong>a scale of eight or nine<\/strong> for each stretch. Nine means: You feel an intense pain but can still breathe calmly and do not have to muscled-guard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 A pain that is still bearable is the most important <strong>point of reference<\/strong> for you. So, don&#8217;t be afraid of it: Your body will tell you that you are counteracting the muscular &#8220;contractions&#8221; in exactly the right place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 <strong>Be patient<\/strong> \u2014 even if it is difficult. It may take some time for your brain to store new movement programs. But if you stay on the ball and make the exercises your daily routine, you can regain your freedom from pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 Use professional aids and not cheap products to treat your pain. If you rely on a defective product here, this can have a negative effect. We have therefore taken great care in the development of our aids and developed them especially for pain treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2705 If the <strong>pain increases<\/strong> due to the exercises, there is no reason to panic. That things get worse initially can be a normal reaction of your body. If your overall body statics change as a result of regular exercise, the musculoskeletal system will have to adapt to this gradually. If, however, you feel worse all the time instead of better after the exercises, your body signals that you may be overdoing it. Then simply take a break for a day or two and\/or reduce the intensity a little bit during your next training sessions in order to increase it again in small steps. In this way, you gently guide your body to the eight or nine on the pain scale that is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-714541210 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1742808570\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section hide-for-medium\" id=\"section_751802964\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-width:0px 0px 0px 0;margin:0px 0px 0 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row row-small\"  id=\"row-961108396\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1876622959\" class=\"col medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_706645595\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:75%;margin:1px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"Roland Liebscher-Bracht is performing a pain-free exercise.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.liebscher-bracht.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Grafiken_Newsletter_EN2-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_706645595 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1876622959 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px -30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-581552281\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"uppercase\">JOIN OVER 30,000 SUBSCRIBERS WHO ARE MANAGING THEIR PAIN THEMSELVES.<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>Sign up for The Pain Relief Advisor and each week we\u2019ll deliver free expert pain management content right to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All gain.
