Several weeks of pain including being woken in middle of night, have been doing what these guys said for 10 days and now am almost totally pain free treating myself twice a day, thanks to both of you.

No way! This helped a great, immediate relief after 6 weeks of discomfort, pain & no exercise 😭 Thank you so much

Had pain and no range of motion for a month in my big toe. Did everything in this video and it went away completely!!! I cannot thank y’all enough

I did a few of the moves you demonstrated and my pain went away overnight! Y’all are heaven sent and so practical! Grateful for your channel !🙏🏼❤️

5:24 exercise 6:45 mobility 10:00 strength

This made my day!! I have big toe arthritis and it flares up about once a year...lasts about three-4 days. This video really helped, thank you so much!!!

I'm a personal trainer here on KZfaq, and I have this toe pain! I'll see a podiatrist this week. Knowing the info from this vid allows me to ask my doc intelligent questions. Plus, now I know how to work on it myself to prevent surgery. Thanks Guys. Love ya both!

Thanks a ton for this helpful video. I recently had my 3rd ever gout flare up, and this time the negative effects lasted longer than before. One thing led to another, and my big toe stiffened up with tenderness on the side of my foot. After doing your recommended toe exercises, I have a lot more mobility than before I watched this video. I even have less pain when walking and my foot even looks better. Keep up the great work! I’m happy to have found this video.

Thank you for this🙏I hurt my big toe few weeks ago, and even that the swelling and the bruises are gone, my range of motion is limited. I can move my toe up, but not down. Following the instructions during the video, I received instant pain relief🙌

I never leave youtube comments but I just want to say I appreciate that you guys do this! You help and you're also entertaining to watch which helps distract from the pain I'm usually feeling when I turn to your channel :) so thanks!

My toe pain started yesterday about night time but the pain was UNBELIEVABLE I know this was 3 years ago but just thank you, I would LITERALLY CRY when I could only find "foot pain" now I'm so happy especially when it worked.

I've been meaning to thank Bob & Brad! Have had intermittent foot pain in both feet for years, mild bunions. After doing these exercises pain went from a 9 (out of ten, felt broken could barely walk) to a 5 within minutes, down to a 1-2 next day and have had 0 pain for weeks since then. Easy daily exercise to keep feet limber.

Make the big toe great again

I wanted to say thank you to you both! You guys have been a life saver thru out the last few years. I have had so many different issues because of my flat feet and difficulty with finding the right sneakers. Every issue I have had, you have helped me resolve ALL of it. Never have you steered me wrong! You guys are the best! Thank you!

Guys, thanks a lot. You just don't know how much you've helped me today. I had a stiff toe for a few days now, and was aggravated by my shoe, which was already over the 600km limit. My toe had significant pain relief after i've done the exercises. Thank you so much.

Great videos, guys! Very informative and helpful.

I play volleyball, and yesterday after the game, it started hurting a lot, but thank you for the exercises will definitely do them now!

I have all the issues you described here. It’s like you’ve peeked into my life! Rigid great toes. Pain, stiffness and spasms. I never knew what was wrong. I am going to start these tonight! Now I do!! Thank you so much!

I have been limping around in pain the last few days and after doing the exercises shown in the video a couple of times over the last 10 hours, I’m already starting to significantly have less pain. Thank you Bob & Brad for providing your wonderful videos.

Thank you thank you! We got back from vaca and I woke up with a stiff toe. I've never had that happen before, but your exercises seem to be helping loosen the 'great toe.' Very grateful I found you guys! You're a blast too! Keep up the informative and fun vids!

Thank you so much for this video, JUST what I needed

This really worked!! Couldn't really even feel it before!! Ty guys!!!!

Super advice always helps. I got a toe pain that was at a level 1-10 a 12. Could not sleep . Did these exercises and it feels 25% better . Thank you!!

You guys are the greatest!!! You have helped me work out so many kinks it’s fantastic. As soon as I have a pain, I look you up and you have the answers! From toes to shoulders to back issues, you name it... I can’t say enough. Thank you for all you have done! I worked construction and have since retired, and each body part seems to give me problems at one time or other. You both have been so much help. Have a great Holiday!

It can be incredibly painful and frustrating at 59 - I was walking in spite of it with very good walking shoes- toe box room and a bit of of curve to shoe to roll foot. I noticed complete remission after about 2 weeks UNTIL I stopped walking regularly. Back to the path for me! Thank you for your great videos

Thank you so much guys. You're the best. This is the third time your perfect analysis and excersises help me to treat an injury.

Thanks for all the wonderful videos guys, much appreciated

Thanks guys! You're the best in the business!

Thanks a bunch! My podiatrist said my shoes couldn't have caused this, but I'm glad to see you called it out as a potential cause. I have increased my shoe size by .5 to 1 and it's made a big difference. I will also do these exercises as well. Appreciate it so much. Also, Go Vikings!

OMG THIS ACTUALLY WORKED ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Many thanks Bob & Brad!

Brill, thanks guys. Just what I needed to hear

Thank you so much! My podiatrist could not recommend any exercises for my toe and told me rest only but after trying these I already feel better -- and more hopeful about walking painfree again!

9 weeks ago a frozen ice pack. Fell on my great toe smack on the site as you demonstrated this exercise. No fractures but was sent to see podiatry next week. I did the Hallux Rigidus exercises and I got instant relief. Thank you for your helping me. I will surely recommend these exercise to my family when in need. Sincerely happy.

Another great video from you guys packed with great advice many many thanks🇬🇧

Great advice from across the pond. Thanks guys

Thank you I tryed some of the streches n to my amazement it relieved the pain a little I'll keep doing these exercises till it's back to normal thanks dortors

I love your videos, they've helped me so much

this the best channel for physical therapy no cap. thank yu!

It's so great that you make it possible for people to help themselves. Thanks and keep going!

I teach martial arts and have struggled with this for years. Just one week of these exercises has lessened the pain and swelling. It also gave me enough information to get proper orthopedic shoes. I can't thank you enough! My range of motion is even improved. I can't wait to buy Brad's book and learn more.

Thanks, Gents. (Exercises start ca. 7:00)

Thank you for the tips. Excellent comprehensive relief methods. I started today . Great stuff !

Thank you. Great suggestions for footwear, I'm at my wits end with such bad toe pain. I'm off to do some toe stretches!

Omg thank you! This pain has been annoying me for a while and this helped a lot. Thank you!

This is so easy and worked perfectly. Thank you!

Thank you both so much. This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!! 😀😀😀

I’ve been in pain & discomfort for weeks impacting my mood, mobility & wellbeing Thankyou guys so much, already some of these exercises are making a great difference You guys are brilliant!

Thanks guys! Was doing exercises as you showed them. Knew my joint was sore but this isolated it to the downwards motion. Yowza! Gonna work on that. Thanks again!

You guys are the key holders to freedom from pain. Please start your own line of products and sell them on your videos. People in pain get relief and you guys get well earned compensation. Win-win.

Going to start doing these daily! Saw this helped a lot of people in the comments and doing a lot of these gave me instant relief. Felt good enough to leave a review 😂 thank you guys!

This is true and good information I get a pin last few days go and I just with your video and try same as you showing and I feel better. Thankfully for this video...

So grateful for you guys 💗 Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and time. I travel to remote regions often for work (and sometimes pleasure) and many times have no access to quality medical care. You've helped me nurse myself back to health many times 🙏 Question about exercises for bunion rehab: how many times a day should I perform them? How many reps/sets of each?

WOW!!! Thank you! I was in severe pain at the beginning of this video. By the end, just from realignment, the pain has decreased by 75%. Also my gate has returned to almost unidentifiable discomfort. I’ll continue to do the exercises. Very excited about the progress. It was looking very bleak.

I'm crying because I was so scared of this. Thank you so much 😭😭

Love, love, love the jingle!! 😊❤

Thanks so much for this info. Bob & Brad, I was really worried about my big toe pain. I looked it up and got a name for the condition and saw you video listed for a cure. I love your vids, thanks again.

Excellent Video. Thank You.

Amazing :) thank you for this!!!

Thank you so much! I could barely move my big toe before doing these exercises. My mobility has improved so much and the pain has gone from piercing and constant to an occasional dull ache. I’m so grateful!

Thank you so much. I've had big toe pain for years and I've seen a podiatrist twice years apart but for the same issue, he gave shoe inserts. No diagnosis, exercises, referral for an x-ray nada!! Glad I now have a diagnosis and exercises to do. Question my big toes naturally curl up, is there anything I can do or is it just the way my joints are made? Thanks again, you're the best!!

I tried this as I was watching the video. Thank you so much!

This was a great help, thanks guys for sharing.

Foam roller video!

This segment is really helpful...Thank You. I also sought advice from podiatrist and custom orthodics and...surprise...surgery...were suggested. I like your option better....

Oh my gosh - game changer for arthritis. Thank you Have been limping the last few days before this

You guys are awesome. Thank you. 40 years of martial arts has done a number on my body with arthritis. I’ll take your advice and go to a doctor for more.

Great video thanks. Can you explain why exercises are required to get the joint moving again, yet you recommend shoes with firm soles? Would a soft sole be better as it flexes the toe joint more frequently?

Would calf raises be a good strengthener for this joint if there's no pain? I believe that would be considered "weight bearing". Also can this particular joint improve or at least not get worse with these exercises? Is changing footwear & manipulation all we got? Of course, an anti inflammatory diet & regular cardio & weight traing for the overall body will help. I feel like in the yr 2017 there would be way more medical advances for this problem.....(in my opinion, of course) thx!

Best PT I have found post surgery to relieve Hallux Rididus (arthritis) TY!

Thanks for this! Helpful techniques!

Thank you. Just diagnosed with Hallux rigidus :( I have a bone spur formation on the joint, which is causing pain and reduced mobility. I just started using the turf toe insert. Will these exercises also help if there is a bone spur already formed?

I suffered this and I am not seeing a dr for it, but almost did because of the pain. What I did was soaked my feet in Epson salt with vigorous shakes from a essential oil, which was peppermint. When I did Epson salt alone nothing happened. But when I used the oil in it not only did it give me back mobility, but took away the pain. I used really warm water and soaked up to ankles. Now I can do these exercises, walk without avoiding pressure, and not be waken up in the night with pain. Even the weight of a sheet hurt. So please if you have no allergies do this. If you need to ventilate to do it do that even if you take it outside. It works! Soak at least until water turns cool, and even try with cool water at times.

Thank you for this video.

You guys are the best. Thanks for all you do.

This video came up after I'd played a different physical therapy video and didn't click "stop" immediately, so out of the blue I heard the theme song: "Bob and Brad...the two most famous...physical therapists...on the internet!" and now I cannot stop laughing. OR playing it. Absolutely hilarious. It's Monday, and I needed this. Thank you.

I have had this condition for nines years. Wearing flexible shoes with mild arch support helped me ( Nike Free Run and Altra Torin). If the shoes are too stiff, then my feet get stiff. Too much movement can hurt as well. I saw a podiatrist and he just told me to use a metal insert or the fusing option. I knew from experience that he was full of crap. All that to say, I'm excited to give this a shot. I'd give you a year's salary to remove this thorn in my life. Thanks. Subbed.

Amazing video will definitely add this to my self care regiment

Great advice! Thank you!

Just what i need to do everyday x3 wakeup before doggywalkies and at night sitting. My great toes have bone growth and bone on bone between joint. Edit: I do burst jogging and warm Aqua aerobics and jump on ball of foot to break up micro bone growth and improve movement❤

Thank you. Now I can wear my designer shoes, my husband will probably go broke...LOL

Thanks! I wore old worn out shoes for painting, big mistake. Your recommendations helped a lot.

Awesome video !!. Thank you this was very helpful . Very much appreciated

Great info. Thanks. Can you increase microphone volume? I have mine on max and still have to hold to my ear to hear.

I'm developing capsulitis in my second toe after a bunionectomy. I don't know what to do.

Thank you so much doctors. It really helps with your good exercises

This video is great. I have been looking for solutions for my joint pain. Unfortunately I have worn heels most of my career and my toe joints are paying for it. I plan to do Bob and Brad's toe therapy every day and will report how I am doing. I've learned from my research that other procedures can be very expensive and do not always work. Thank you Bob and Brad.

This is AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you so much! My doctor told me the only thing I can do is get a cortisol injection if the pain gets bad. I miss yoga and doing lunges. I am so excited to keep doing these exercises. Thank you, thank you, thank you. :D

You guys are fucking great... Sorry, this is a family show!! really great~ as a competitive athlete, I wish that my retinue of doctors were as curious, preventative, and holistically minded as you. thanks for saving me on occasion. spiritual hi-five, and thanks for your altruism.

Thanks guys. You are the best!

Dude my toes feels great doing this, it pop like 5 times and feeeellls extra amazing, been hurting for days! Thank you so much doctor!

Can you do a video on natural ways to REVERSE bunions?

Literally was just looking how to cure this, heard the accent and thought “there Minnesotans” look in the back and what do ya know! Viking football!

Thanks for sharing these Practical and simple exercises for the big (great) toe.

Wow! These are all good! Going to incorporate! Thank you!!

I have minor arthritis in the big toe. Hopefully, the exercises work.

Unfortunately none of these techniques helped me over the years. My podiatrist ended up getting me custom orthotics with arch support and a first ray cutout to take of the weight off the first MTP. What a difference, I can walk again nearly pain free!

Excellent advice Thanks Doc.😊

You do guys are the best! Thank you for sharing 🌺
