Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is one of the most common deformations of the human foot. It causes pain, walking difficulties. Non-pharmacological treatments serve as the first line of treatment and are frequently used for patients with musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of great toe manual traction, toe spread out exercise plus kinesiotaping on pain and foot function in hallux valgus female study participants. Methodology: A randomized controlled design. This study was conducted at musculoskeletal physiotherapy outpatient department. A total 30 hallux valgus (HV) individuals were randomly assigned into two groups (manual traction and toe spreadout exercise (control group) and Exercise plus kinesiotaping (experimental group); n=15 in each group. All groups were underwent 5weeks of supervised treatment programs. In this study Visual analog scale for pain intensity, foot function index questionnaire (revised) (FFI-R) for foot functional been used as a outcome measures. VAS and functional disability outcome measures was recorded at baseline and after 5 weeks of interventions. Results: Comparing pretreatment and 5th week values, significant improvements were found in pain and foot function of both groups (p<0.05). The KT group had significantly better than the control group at the end of fourth weeks (p<0.05). Conclusion: The addition of kinesio taping to the CPT was capable of reducing pain and improving foot function in hallux valgus participants.
