11.01.2022 ? During COVID-19 you may find that your runners have been your staple footwear and you have clocked up some serious k's in them. You may need to update your shoes!!!... Some points to think about: : Most running shoes will generally last between 500-900km. This depends on a lot of factors including surfaces, your weight, weather and shoe materials. : This is done by holding the two ends of the shoe and bending the shoe back on itself. If you can do this easily the midsole of the shoe has likely compressed and lacks its original cushioning properties. If so, update your shoes. : If the tread (the sole of the shoe) has worn, and the wear is uneven, it is time for a new pair of shoes. This could also mean that you have some abnormalities in your walking or running pattern which could also be assessed by a podiatrist. : Due to different materials in the shoe and individual gait patterns during our walking and running, shoes can compress unevenly, leading to a change in the dynamic support of the shoe. You can check this by looking at the shoe whilst on a flat surface and see if the shoe leans to one side. : If you are experiencing pain when walking and running, getting your shoes reviewed and likely updated is a great place to start. This will help give your podiatrist a greater understanding of what could be causing your pain and discomfort. Ticking any of these boxes? Is it time for an update?

04.01.2022 What is dry needling? Dry needling is a specialised technique involving the use of fine filament acupuncture-type needles. These fine needles are very carefully and expertly inserted into muscle and other tissue requiring treatment.... It differs from both injection needling, where something is injected via a syringe, and acupuncture, which is based on Chinese Eastern Medicine. The aim of dry needling is to de-activate focal tight knots, or trigger points in dysfunctional muscle, and as a result, restore normal tone and function to that muscle. Normally after a couple of days, the patient should feel a reduction in pain, and subsequently an improvement in function. Should you wish to consider dry needling our reception staff will ensure you are booked with a therapist experienced in the technique.

03.01.2022 Have you checked the kids school shoes? You may find that they have grown during lockdown 2.0! Having shoes fitted by a store that offers trained assistants can help ensure the correct size and shape to keep little feet running and jumping.... A check-up with our podiatrists is recommended if you notice changes, such as uneven shoe wear on the heels; or if pain is reported such as skin rashes, hard skin, lumps, bumps or itching on your child’s feet. Our podiatrists can also help your child if they complain of recurrent pain in their feet or legs, especially as activities increase at school; or if your child is constantly tripping or falling at school or outside of school. You should also consider the help of a podiatrist if you notice your child walks on their tip toes, or their walk does not look symmetrical (the same on both feet and legs); or if you have any other general concerns about your child’s foot health. from The Athlete's Foot Ballarat
