7.  Bunions
 I am a fitness instructor, and teach mostly barefoot classes…Pilates, yoga, willPower & grace. One of my students came to me originally because she has had bunion surgery, and wanted to regain alignment and strength in her feet. She is doing well with her big toe, but due to compensations made for the bunion, she has this pronounced  protrusion of the lateral edge of the foot by her 5th toe and metatarsal.  It looks larger in person than it does in the photo and is painful for her.  What is the cause and are there specific exercises for her?
Thanks for any insight,

Effect of customized foot orthotics in addition to usual care for the management of chronic low back pain following work-related low back injury.

The findings showed that patients in this study with chronic, nonspecific low back pain following work-related low back injury had greater improvement in short-term outcomes with orthotics and UC than with UC alone.
