19.01.2022 Struggling to stretch out your Gastrocnemius/Soleus (calves) _ Try using a Yoga/Pilates blockGreat stretch everytime _ Having strong calves is ideal but most of us have tight weak calves because we don't condition them. We need to do more regular calf training (eccentric loading, check out our eccentric calf raise post) to train our calves to put up with the daily demand!... _ Remember... Dynamic over Static. Lean in and out of the stretch repetitively, about 15 reps. _ Happy calf stretching See more

Painful too right? Try these! Knee stability is crucial to adDRESS (no pun intended) when wearing heels. The VMO (Vastus Medialis Obliques) is an important part of the quadricep group that contributes to k...nee stability! Make sure your knee is straight through the whole exercise and that your arch is not collapsing . This one is also quite effective for the gluteal muscle group (da Booty) (hip stabilisers).

17.01.2022 Warming up your feet is underrated. Your feet carry your whole body all day, every day! Treating them right and warming them up should be priority in our opinion (In the most non-biased way possible). A few pointers for you all when you do these exercises: 1. Ensure your feet are straight at all times for all these exercises.... 2. You can do the calf stretch (exercise 1) on a yoga block. just type that into google and they should be reasonably affordable and easy to find. Put the ball of your foot on the yoga block and enjoy the stretch! 3. When you do that stretch, make sure you keep it dynamic! By this we mean, hold into the stretch at end point for 3 seconds, pulling back to reduce tension and then repeating that about 12 times each side. Evidence is not in favour of static stretching. 4. For all these exercises we suggest 12 reps 4 sets. We also suggest to increase resistance as opposed to reps, if its too easy, make it difficult enough to burn by the 12th rep. 5. ENJOY! Let us know how you went in the comments below and we'll try our best to answer all your questions!

15.01.2022 Build calf strength and prevent injury _________ Make sure your feet are straight and the balls of your feet are hanging off the edge. Ensure you use both legs on the way up and a good 3 seconds on the way down to approximately 10 degrees bellow the step level. Do this every day 3 sets x 15 reps! Injuries occur way too often on the way down. Landing from a jump, turning or twisting. You get the gist!... Slow and controlled eccentric (the contraction of a muscle while it lengthens under load) contraction is just the way to prevent such injuries. But wait, there's more We now know that slow eccentric contractions increases strength (reduces risk of injury) and lengthens muscle Lengthening muscle means less strain on the Achilles, hence a useful exercise for Achilles tendinipathy See more

13.01.2022 This is tip #4 of 5 for those of you who wear heels every day! For the full blog click here: http://www.yourpodiatryroom.com.au//5-tips-for-women-who-w _ As noted earlier, your gluteus maximus (the booty muscle) is inactive when wearing heels. Weak glutes and tight hip flexors go hand in hand, both need to be addressed to maintain stability. This exercise is a single leg bridge and the further your heel is from your backside, the more your hamstrings will be activated. This... exercise is great because is has the potential to strengthening both hamstrings and glutes simultaneously, depending on your form. 12 reps, 3-4 x daily.

12.01.2022 Since we posted on eccentric calf raises in our last post, thought I might add this important detail! _ Thanks @pinpointpodiatry for reminding us and thanks @trijerrydpt for the _ When you go through the full range of motion of a calf raise ensure your movement is straight down and perpendicular to the ground. As you can see on the right side, this is what most of us do when we do a calf raise.... _ Now just to clarify things, if you have a pronated (flat or rolling in) foot type, you will most probably not be completely straight, but that's your goal! This is a specially applicable when you attempt to pass ground level (0 degrees). However try the best you can to maintain a straight foot, ankle and leg _ All the best See more

10.01.2022 Ingrown toenailsAntibiotics are not enough! _ In order to treat These super small yet painful little things, we need to understand WHY they occur in the first place ! There are 2main causes behind these annoying painful things! _ 1. Incorrect Cutting Technique : You've attempted to cut down the side but unfortunately you left a spicule down the side. This sharp spicule digs in the side, cuts the skin open (underneath your skin fold) and causes an infection!... 2. The Nail Plate is Too Wide : When someone has a wide or involuted nail plate (curves and pinches the skins underneath it) the nail will constantly grow back into the skin , no matter how many times you get it it out !! In this instance, you want to consider getting a permanent procedure done to stop the side from growing! _ Conclusion: Have your ingrown toenail(s) assessed professionally.

09.01.2022 Finding a shoe that is fashionable and appealing yet simultaneously supportive can be quite challenging. That is why we have decided to give you a simple '3 point check' that you can use to 'screen' through any shoes that aren't suitable! We always suggest starting from the heel and progressing your way through to the forefoot to ensure you've checked everything. _______... 1. Check The Heel Counter: If you've pick a good shoe, this will be made of a thermoplastic or a composite. It is designed to cup your heel and it shouldn't compress when applying pressure with your thumb. 2. Check The The Midsection: The integrity of the midsection of supported with a shank which is also made of either a composite or thermoplastic material. This is tested by a simple twist a bend through the centre of the shoe. 3. Check The Toebox: This section of the shoe should be spacey and comfortable, you shouldn't be feeling any pressure through the forefoot when you're wearing a well designed shoe. You want it to flex at the big toe joint. ______ There are many more aspects to a shoe and things can get technical, however this is a quick and easy way to check a shoe while you're shopping. We will post a more detailed blog on all the features of a shoe for those who are interested. Also, on an obvious note, this does not apply to minimalistic shoes (Which should not be used unless you have been educated and trained to wear them). Additionally, there are many more features to consider when it comes to sports specific footwear, nonetheless, this can be used as a foundation. Hope this was useful! If so, give us a like and share to see more of this! Also, follow us on instagram, we will be giving out some freebies soon!

06.01.2022 Lateral Ankle Sprains occur way too often Achilles tendinopathy/tears also happen way too often __________ They have been estimated to constitute up to 30%... Scratch that. We've already been through this in our last video This exercise targets the achilles and ankle stability simultaneously. This is a more advanced exercise so only do it if you have no pain and want to increase explosiveness on the way up and control on the way down!... The Breakdown: Firing your quads, calves, core and glutes pushes you to the highest point in the air. On the way down, you land first on the forefoot! At this point the calves are firing in an attempt to slow down your force into the ground. This is known as eccentric loading of the gastrocnemius and soleus. The point at which most achilles injuries take place. Next is the ankle. All your ankle stabilisers (peroneals, tibialis anterior, tibialis posterior and intrinsic foot muscles to name a few) are all firing simultaneously once you're on the ground. This action replicates many scenarios in sports and its a great advanced exercise to help prevent injury. If you're losing balance, thats a good thing, it means you have plenty to work on The more interactive and fun you make your rehab/prehab/prevention/exercises, the more motivated you will be to keep doing them!
