22.01.2022 Tip of the week - Warming up: Injury prevention is key as the winter sport season starting back and warming up properly is a critical part of that. For a good warmup it is important to start slow and let the body ease into the activity, using movements and dynamic stretching rather than static stretches. This prepares the bodies muscles and nervous system for the activity ahead and opens up a greater range of movement through different joints.

02.01.2022 Tip of the week - Correct shoe for the activity: Whether youre a runner, playing soccer or netball an injury caused by the wrong type of shoe for your chosen sport can disrupt your season or fitness goals unnecessarily. As well as preventing injury by protecting your foot from heavy landings or allowing you to make the necessary quick changes, making sure you have the correct footwear makes a big difference to your ability to perform, and excel during the winter season.

02.01.2022 Tip of the week! - Ingrown toenails! Our team of podiatrists have seen a huge increase in ingrown toenails as sport has started to return. Kids (particularity teenage boys) are sweating and squeezing their feet into tight sports footwear. Ingrown toenails are very painful and easily become infected (just like the image). ... If they start to become irritated or inflamed, soak the toes in saline water (2 cups of boiled water (let cool before putting your foot into it) to 1 teaspoon of iodine-free salt), dry and apply a dry dressing. If the problem persists it can be due to a spicule of nail pushing into the side, contact our team and we can manage it on the spot quickly and without discomfort.
