Well done Jess Brown on the gold coast marathon last week, I hope your legs have recovered!

It's moments like these, that you just love the job.... when you can get patients to the finish line.

I had a patient last week who I was treating for rehab after achillies tendon rupture... and in the session he was more concerned about the tender midfoot pain he was getting on the non-operative foot (as it has been doing all the work as he is on crutches) ...so I assessed the foot and noticed increased stiffness in the midfoot - it took me 1 minute to mobilise all the joints in his foot and free things up. I saw him again yesterday a week later ...he said "what ever you did to that foot it fixed it immediately and it hasn't come back since". 👌

All our clinicians are trained in foot and knee mobilisation - this helps to improve range of movement and release the fascial adhesion's and the connective tissue and plantar intrinsic foot muscles. It also has a nociceptor pain relief effect in the joint. This can also help to gain range of movement to help your joints have more shock attenuation to handle load.

Achilles tendon ruptures are the most common tendon rupture in the lower extremity. The injury most commonly occurs in adults in their third to fifth decade. For James his was a sudden force of speed when he went to take off on the soccer field and leading up to this (like with many of these complete tears) there were no prior warning signs, just an awareness of having tight calf muscles.
But now after 6 months he is ready to attack a few lower speed activities with martial arts, gym and chasing after his little one!
Awesome effort James on the long recovery after this injury!

We are the heel pain guru's ! Get the right diagnosis ... as it could be:

- Growth plate pain in Children
- Achilles' tendinopathy
- Tear in the plantar fascia

- Nerve irritation/ entrapment
We get to the root cause of the problem and accuracy in diagnostics is essential to the right treatment applied

Can you pick which foot is now @ 10 weeks post surgical repair from Achillie's tendon rupture?
Calf raise contractions are a crucial part of post Achillie's tendon repair rehab, promoting tendon healing and muscle function recovery.

Pain along the shins running or Medial tibial stress syndrome is something we see a lot of in sports that require running.
Poor foot mechanics and the ground reaction force can lead to inflammation of the soft tissue and bone along the border of the shin
Podiatrists can:
👟Give footwear advice
🧐 Assess in clinic with diagnostic ultrasound to exclude stress fractures
🦶 Provide sports orthotics to change tissue loading
🏃‍♀️‍➡️Advise on training loads & strength & conditioning work
⚕️Provide shockwave therapy to aid with healing

From tendon irritations and knee niggles, adapting training loads, strength and a little regenerative medicine treatment (prolotherapy), well done Nicola on your determination and dedication to your training to achieve this!

We check to see if your child has very mobile joints as this can often contribute and present as having a flexible flat foot. The child can often appear “clumsy ” with activity. A simple screening test called the Beighton’s Scale, can score your child and determine whether they have any connective tissue conditions.
