There is a myth that is spread around the internet that there are exercises you can do that can cure your bunion or Hallux Valgus deformity. The gist of these myths are that by correcting or strengthening the tendons and ligaments around the bunion this will cause those tendons and ligaments to hold the toe straight or straighten it out further. Nothing could be further from the truth. Bunion or Hallux Valgus is caused by the angling of the bone. In fact, when having bunion surgery, it is the angle of the bone that helps the Podiatrist to decide upon what surgery he will perform. The tendons and ligaments adjust to the way the bone grows not the other way around. I have written about actual treatments that can work for bunions if you are so interested:
