I found this systematic review & meta-analysis very interesting. A common strength training strategy - and perhaps misconception - among distance runners is to utilise lighter loads and higher reps. Whereas the reported results say something quite different.

The results? Heavy resistance strength training (around that 3-5 rep range) was more beneficial for running economy and time trial performance than plyometrics.

I want to add that by no means are plyometrics inferior. There are many reported benefits to performing plyometric training. I would assume that the best strategy is to make heavy resistance training AND plyometric training a permanent addition to your routine. That’s what I do.

Note: safety is key. Strength training programs should be catered to your capabilities. Starting points will vary for each individual, and if you don’t know where to start, I would recommend seeking advice from a health professional. You can book in with me via the link in bio.

I have a lot to be grateful about for a fantastic 2025 🥹

It was .physique’s 8th year in business, where I get to be surrounded by wonderful clients & colleagues every week.

It was also Keen Podiatry’s first full year of business. Starting a new business is daunting and filled with challenges, but I’m so thankful for the support of those close to me, and of course patient’s trusting me with their lower limb needs 🦵

It was a great end to the year getting everyone together for the Christmas Party, where I was surrounded by some of those close to me. Thank you James for being a great business partner, and for your support in Keen Podiatry opening in our space 🙏

Thanks for the great pics

This week was Podiatry Week in Australia - an annual campaign that raises awareness of ankle and foot health, and the essential role podiatrists play in healthcare 👣

I love my job, and I am so grateful to past employers, mentors, peers, and of course patients, who have had a positive influence on my 13+ year career so far 🙏

I am passionate about educating people on a podiatrists expertise, with a specialised perspective on the foot & lower limb. I don't just treat feet, but am trained to manage pathology throughout the whole lower limb.

Enjoy reading these 5 common myths I see in my profession, and if you're suffering from foot or lower limb pain, I'll see you at Keen Podiatry 😀

I'm sure we all know of someone who has a bunion 👣

According to a 2023 systematic review & meta-analysis, the overall global prevalence of bunions (or hallux valgus/hallux abducto valgus) is 19%. That's about 1 in 5.

But fear not. Depending on what factors are at play, there are many ways a podiatrist can help to:
▪️Maintain or improve function around the big toe joint
▪️Reduce pain
▪️Prevent or slow down further deformity

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.
