Got Bunions? Let’s Get Your Feet Feeling Great Again!

I know how painful and frustrating bunions can be. That bony bump at the base of your big toe, known as a bunion, can cause discomfort, swelling, and difficulty finding comfy shoes. But don’t worry—relief is possible!

What are bunions?

Bunions form when the big toe shifts toward the other toes, creating a bony protrusion at the joint. This can lead to pain, inflammation, and even mobility issues.

Why do they happen?
- Genetics: A family history can increase your risk.
- Footwear: Tight or high-heeled shoes can worsen the problem.
- Foot mechanics: Flat feet or low arches may contribute.
- Health conditions: Arthritis or joint issues can play a role.

Symptoms to watch for:
- Pain or tenderness at the base of the big toe
- Swelling or redness around the joint
- Corns, calluses, or restricted toe movement

How can I help?
As a Registered Massage Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience, I use targeted myofascial release techniques and corrective exercises to ease bunion-related pain, reduce tension in surrounding tissues, and improve foot function. My personalized approach at Railway Chiropractic & Massage Clinic in Weyburn, SK, can help you move better and feel great!

Tips to manage bunions:
- Choose wide-toed, supportive shoes.
- Use padding or custom orthotics to reduce pressure.
- Apply ice to ease swelling.
- Book a treatment with me!

Fun fact: Bunions are more common in women, often linked to footwear and ligament flexibility.

🧊 “Why is my shoulder getting worse instead of better?”
Frozen shoulder doesn’t show up overnight—but once it sets in, it can feel like you’re stuck in slow motion.

First it’s a little stiff. Then it’s painful. Then it just... stops moving.

Many people wait it out—hoping rest or time will fix it.
But with frozen shoulder, doing nothing often makes it worse.

Here’s what helps:
✅ Targeted techniques like RAPID Neurofascial Reset and Myofascial Release
✅ Safe, progressive movement
✅ Consistent treatment—not just random stretching

If reaching overhead is a struggle—or you’ve stopped using your arm altogether—don’t wait.

Frozen shoulder can take over a year to resolve on its own.
Or we can start working on it now.

Frozen Shoulder isn’t just about your shoulder.

Most people don’t realize: frozen shoulder often has underlying causes—not just local pain.

I assess the full picture:
✔️ Joint capsule restrictions
✔️ Postural imbalances
✔️ Nerve irritation
✔️ Muscle compensation patterns

Massage therapy helps restore motion, reduce inflammation, and gently break up adhesions without making things worse.

Don’t wait until it becomes a 12-month problem.
Let’s start early, move safely, and get that arm back.

Can’t lift your arm? It might be Frozen Shoulder.

If reaching overhead, brushing your hair, or even putting on a shirt feels impossible… you could be dealing with Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis).

It’s frustrating. It’s painful. And if left untreated—it can drag on for months or even years.

As an RMT, I specialize in helping people:

- Regain mobility
- Reduce pain and stiffness
- Avoid surgery or long-term meds

If your shoulder feels “stuck,” book an appointment and let’s start fixing it.
