06.01.2022 Spring has sprung! With warmer weather and increased daylight hours many of us are starting to get more active again. It may be increasing the length of your regular walk or simply spending more time working in the garden. If it has been some time since participating in an activity, ensure you ease into it to reduce the risk of an injury.... Our Podiatrists commonly see injuries such as planter pain, Achilles tendinisis, shin splints and knee pain which can be directly linked to change or sudden increase in exercise. These injuries are painful and will often disrupt your exercise routine. To assist in injury prevention and help you achieve your exercise goals we recommend finding a starting point which does not leave you excessively tired or sore. Some basic principles of increasing fitness and preventing injury include ensuring you have adequate rest between exercise sessions to allow time for tour body to repair and adapt to the work load. Slowly increase the duration and intensity of the activity each week. Ensure your footwear is suitable for the activity and in good condition and adapt your exercise activity when needed.

01.01.2022 Did you know it's Wound Awareness Week here in Australia? Wound awareness is especially important for people living with diabetes since foot ulcers are one of the most common diabetes related complications. Do you know the signs and symptoms of a foot ulcer?... Foot ulcers are open sores or lesions that will not heal or that return over a long period of time. These sores result from the breakdown of the skin and tissue of the feet and ankles and can get infected. Symptoms of foot ulcers can include swelling, burning, and pain. It's important people with diabetes check their feet regularly and pay close attention to any of the above symptoms. If you find a wound on your feet or believe you may be developing a foot ulcer, visit your GP or podiatrist as soon as you can. Source: @diabetesaustralia
