24.01.2022 The Right Shoe For The Right Activity.... There's a reason you can now find footwear made specifically for lifting weights, for CrossFit, for running, even foot wraps for yoga. "It's best to choose sneakers that are suited for your primary activity," says Brice Newton, senior manager of global footwear merchandising for Brooks Running. "For example, runners need sneakers that can withstand the repetitive pattern and force that's applied when running."

23.01.2022 Shin Splints... A common exercise related ailment, shin splits are in fact not a specific injury, but instead may be a symptom of a number of possible injuries of the lower leg such as a tibial stress fracture or anterior tibialis tendonitis. These injuries may result in swelling, weakness, numbness, and often cause a constant or intermittent pain in the soft tissues located in the front of the outer leg (tibia). Shin splints occur most commonly in runners, but in reality an...y rigorous activity in which repetitive stress is placed on the shin can bring about this condition. It is more likely for a person to incur shin splints when their leg muscles and tendons are tired or if the intensity of their workout is rapidly increased. Women, people with flat feet or rigid arches, athletes, military recruits, and dancers all have an increased likelihood of developing shin splints.

18.01.2022 POST CITY2SURF FOOT CARE - BLISTERS Congratulations you have completed one of Australias most popular running events. Now is the time to check your feet and administer some post race footcare. Blisters are a common injury amongst runners, here are some ideas to treat them.... If a blister isnt too painful and isnt preventing you from walking, then its best to keep it intact to help prevent the risk of infection (besides, blisters are pretty good at healing themselves when left alone). Cover small blisters with an adhesive bandage, and large ones with a porous, plastic-coated gauze pad (so the blister can breathe). For the most part, blisters are pretty good at healing themselves on their own. If popping looks to be the best course of action, always check for potential signs of infection before touching a blister (Call up your doctor if the blister is secreting yellow or green pus, if the area becomes increasingly swollen or inflamed, or if you have any other reason to think it could be infected). If there are no signs of infection, follow these steps to pop blisters safely on your own: - Wash your hands. Dont skimp on the water and soap! - Clean the blister. Use a clean swab with water and soap, rubbing alcohol, or iodine. - Sterilize a needle (a small, sharp needle or a pin should do itnothing fancy). Use rubbing alcohol and a clean swab or pad. - Take a deep breath. Try not to freak out about poking yourself with a needle. - Puncture the side of the blister in several spots. Aim for spots close to the blisters edge. Soak up the draining fluid with a clean piece of cotton or gauze. - Apply antibiotic ointment. Then place gauze and/or an adhesive bandage over the area (think of it as a construction siteyou want that whole section quarantined). Secure gauze with medical tape. - Wait a few (2-3) days. Then cut away and remove the dead skin (Use sterilized scissors or tweezers and rubbing alcohol to keep the area clean.). Apply more antibiotic ointment and bandage again until healed. While there may be more than one way to get a blister, there are at least as many ways to prevent and treat them. Dont get discouraged if one pops up early on in your running careerjust assess the issue immediately, find a preventative method that works for you, and get back on the roads when the skin is healed and free from pain.

15.01.2022 Socrates may have been the first to equate healthy feet with quality of life when he famously said, "When ones feet hurt, one hurts all over." His observation rings true even millennia later. "As you age, healthy feet become even more important for staying mobile, active, and safe," says Dr. Kevin Reimer, a podiatrist with Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "When it hurts to walk, you cut back on activities that you enjoy and that keep you healthy." Ove...r the years, your feet can become more susceptible to problems that make walking more difficult and dangerous. While some of these issues result from genetics or specific medical conditions, many are your own doing. "And if the initial foot problem is not treated, it may lead to further issues, such as skin infections, injuries, or deformities," says Dr. Reimer. Heres a look at these issues and how to get a step up on treatment and prevention.... http://ow.ly/QiDL3061WFr See more

08.01.2022 The Problem With Thongs. Summers fast approaching, but wearing thongs too often can cause your feet damage. Aside from the obvious lack of protection (meaning youre more vulnerable to dropped objects, stubbed toes and the like), your favourite pair could be seriously damaging your feet. The feet are the foundation of your whole body, It can be a domino effect as the rest of your joints and bones have to compensate. Like anything else, moderation is key. Slipping thongs on... by the pool or for a short jaunt likely wont cause any harm the problems arise when your thongs become your go-to summer shoes. Wearing thongs excessively could cause: tendinitis, tiny bone cracks, changes to your natural gait (causing damage to the ankles, knees, hips and back) and they can even harbour bacteria. Not all thongs are created equal and we can recommend certain types which will be better for your feet.
