An important element supporting a patient’s rapid recovery after hallux surgery is rehabilitation. To be effective, it should be based on the following principles:

  • the patient’s condition should be assessed
  • individual recommendations should be prepared for the postoperative treatment of hallux valgus
  • therapy should be adapted to the patient’s abilities

Individual exercises with the patient aim to:

  • improve the range of motion in the joints of the operated lower limb
  • improve proprioception
  • improve neuromuscular coordination
  • reduce swelling (soft-tissue work, lymphatic massage, kinesiotaping)
  • correct gait and faulty movement habits
  • physiotherapy

For postoperative treatment, we use special postoperative footwear. Patients begin walking in it on the first day after the procedure. 
Patients usually wear these shoes for 4–5 weeks.
