A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. The visible bump reflects changes in the big toe joint - the big toe begins to deviate towards the second toe, rather than pointing straight ahead. Although bunions are not always symptomatic, they are a progressive deformity.

Strapping of the foot and ankle provides stability to the joint and reduces the amount of motion available at the ankle joint. The strapping acts as a support mechanism to surrounding ligaments to ensure the ankle does not move outside its comfortable range.

Our podiatrists will usually recommend strapping for the beginning stages of an injury, and during sports and physical activity while the muscles or tendons are healing to prevent the injury from reoccurring.

When there is an increase in your level of activity it is completely normal to have muscle soreness. Your muscles are adapting to the new movement and building strength to handle the increased load. If your muscle soreness lingers or occurs frequently it is recommended to see a podiatrist to assess any strength imbalances, poor footwear choice or address any pre existing injuries.
