Orthotics, or custom foot orthoses, are not just arch supports 👣

They're a device which should place the foot in it's optimal position, specific for THAT person and their needs 🏃

A factor I place high importance on is function of the entire lower limb, and ensuring that my patient's are moving their best at each level (hip, knee, and foot)🦵

If becoming too fixated on changing one aspect to make it "look right" - such as arch height - there is the risk of negatively affecting function to another area.

PLEASE NOTE orthotics are made for a multitude of reasons/pathologies, and are always approached on a case-by-case basis.

Dead Cow Gully Recap 🌾

A couple of weeks ago, I accompanied the .snails to the backyard ultra marathon event , where I had the pleasure of crewing for my best mate 🏃

This is a different kind of running event. Instead of running from point A to point B as fast as possible, runners instead complete a 6.7km loop on the hour, EVERY SINGLE hour, until one runner remains 🤯 Tactics, mental strength, perseverance…

In addition to prepping nutrition for Scotty, I was also able to use some Podiatry skills to keep ankle & knee pain under control. Scotty completed 15 loops (15hrs) to run a total of over 100km!

A huge congratulations to the mind-blowing, out-of-this-world athlete that is .gore.ultrarunner on the win and world-record of 119hrs (797km+). In a backyard ultra, the race ends as soon as one person remains, but I have no doubt Phil could have ran for another 24hrs+. It was simply incredible witnessing your efforts.

Many people are surprised when they discover that how they move on a daily basis can have A LOT to do with a pesky long-term injury 🤔

Brukner & Khan's Clinical Sports Medicine state "Injury mechanisms for many overuse injuries are associated with suboptimal lower limb biomechanics" 🏃

This is why we at Keen Podiatry pride ourselves on our knowledge, understanding, and application of gait patterns, biomechanics and footwear.

13yrs since my first day out in the real world as a fully-fledged Podiatrist 🏃‍♂️

I consider myself so lucky to still be in a career that I chose to do straight out of school. I’ve never believed that this was a fluke however. I always wanted to work in a field related to sports & movement, and where I could help people.

Additionally, I am so grateful for the mentors I’ve had along the way and the opportunities with working and travelling overseas as a podiatrist!

I thought I’d share some things I’ve learnt throughout my career.

Plantar Heel Pain 👣

We have all experienced, or known someone to experience, pain under the heel. From that sharp, unwelcome pain that hits the moment you step out of bed, to the dull ache building throughout the day 😭

As a musculoskeletal podiatrist, I can say this pain is often an issue that develops over time due to a multitude of factors, such as those listed in "causes".

This is why it's great to see a lower limb expert (hi 👋) to determine the cause of YOUR pain, and treat it accordingly ✅

A podiatrist is defined as a specialist treating issues in the feet and lower limbs 👣🦵

As a pod specialising in musculoskeletal issues, writing a succinct list of what I treat is difficult, especially when you take into account the vast anatomy we all have, as well as the uniqueness to each and every patient presentation 📋

To summarise ➡ if you’ve got pain anywhere from your hip to your little toe, we can help.
