25.01.2022 A women's shoe with a slight heel is better than flats

23.01.2022 As long as people run, there will be running injuries. http://ow.ly/EtXW30oqHwk

23.01.2022 Sometimes the best runs come on the days when you don't feel like running.

23.01.2022 "From Our Blog" Tendinitis, Tendinosis, Tendinopathy. What’s the difference? In times gone by, tendinitis was used to describe pretty much any tendon pain. Tendinitis is now more accurately used to describe inflammation of the tendon which results from microtears, which occur when the musculotendinous unit is overloaded with a tensile force that is too heavy and/or too sudden. https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/tendonitis-tendinosis/

23.01.2022 "From Our Blog" What is Cuboid Syndrome? This describes pain on the lateral side of the foot that is often described as sharp stabbing pain that is most painful while weight-bearing walking or running. The cuboid bone is a bone on the lateral side of the mid-foot and it is the twisting or rotation of this bone and consequential mal-alignment that causes the pain. ... https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/what-is-cuboid-syndro/ See more

20.01.2022 Feet are especially important to runners, of course, and they’re also pretty complex. Each foot has 33 joints, 26 bones, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. That’s a lot of moving parts, so it’s not surprising that there are also countless problems that can plague your feet. http://ow.ly/Q4la30oqHAl

19.01.2022 Should you trust running shoe research done or funded by Nike? A significant amount of research in Universities is supported by industry and that has to be supported and encouraged. Nike have ‘put their money where their mouths are‘ and funded the studies mentioned above and others; as have a number of other running shoe companies. http://ow.ly/Bgiu30oqG42

19.01.2022 "Tips and Facts" The arch of you foot is an engineering masterpiece - it lowers to adapt to surfaces and absorb shock and then lifts to lock the bones to transfer forces up the body to allow us to move.

19.01.2022 If you're running today in Gold Coast 100 Run Festival have a great race! It's a great warm up event for the GC Marathon. https://www.goldcoast100.com/

16.01.2022 "From Our Blog" The contribution of the feet to patello-femoral knee pain Your foot biomechanics and your running shoes need to be a major consideration when you are being assessed by your practitioner to ascertain whether or not improvement to these will form part of your overall treatment plan. This will ensure best outcomes, a quicker return to running load and a decreased chance of a re-occurring knee or lower limb running injury. https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/feet-patello-femoral-/

16.01.2022 Your plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue running along the arch of your foot, from your toes to your heel. With prolonged abuse, small tears can develop in the tissue, followed by inflammation and chronic heel pain. http://ow.ly/WhUw30oqG3L

13.01.2022 Commonly injured structures of the foot from Running #2 Joint Capsule

13.01.2022 "From Our Blog" What is a Tarsal Coalition and how can it affect a Runner’s foot? Most often a tarsal coalition occurs during fetal development resulting in the individual bones not forming properly (Foot Health Facts, 2017). They may be an acquired condition but are less common (Franson et al., 2004). Less common causes are infection, arthritis or a previous injury to the area (Foot Health Facts, 2017). https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/what-is-a-tarsal-coal/

12.01.2022 Congratulations to all those who participated in the Gold Coast running festival on the weekend! For those who used the event as a warm up for the upcoming Gold Coast Marathon - how did your race shoes stack up? For more information on lightweight running shoes - read our recent blog 5 Key Considerations for choosing a light-weight running shoe for the 2019 Gold Coast Marathon & Asics Half Marathon - https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/light-weight-running-/

12.01.2022 This study looked at the stiffness of the running shoe. It is assumed that the stiffer a shoe is, the greater lever arm there could be for propulsion. While this sounds great, it could be at the expense of interfering with natural foot function, such as limited first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion will impair the function of the windlass mechanism. http://ow.ly/iJ6R30oqHz9

10.01.2022 Recreational running is running for fun. You still get all of the health benefits and exercise, but you go at a more relaxed pace. It is not as intense as training for a race or a marathon. The majority of runners start as recreational runners. The hardest part about running is actually getting started.... http://ow.ly/WHiY30oqG6w

02.01.2022 Shockwave Therapy A shockwave is an intense, short energy wave that travels faster than the speed of sound and when applied to areas of pain it is thought to stimulate an increase in blood flow and stimulate an inflammatory response which promotes faster healing times. https://www.sportsmedpodiatry.com.au/shockwave-therapy/
