Did you know that in Australia, the ultra marathon season is much broader than the standard marathon season. Because these races are often held on trails or in remote areas, they are spread across the year to take advantage of specific regional climates.

The "major" ultra season generally peaks in Autumn (March–May) and Spring (September–November), though you will find significant events even in the middle of winter.

These are the "bucket list" races that define the Australian ultra-running calendar.

We were fortunate to meet writer Madeleine Heffernan but unfortunately after this piece was written before I could give my 2 cents...

Some people get the “ick” over feet. Yet problems such as corns and callus are very common. Here’s what causes them as well as the painful condition known as “jogger’s heel”.

Kids podiatry isn't as easy as it sounds. First you need to convince the kids you know what your doing & its not going to hurt! Then you need to pray they don't hurt themselves following your instructions because they don't believe you know what you are doing so they'd rather do it themselves.

Who says working with your wife is stressful?? Here we are working on a very professional photo shoot for the websites & socials content.
BTW this is our Microwave therapy machine (The Swift) that electrocutes warts! Think of it like a cattle prod to shock the warts off.

This is SO painful and difficult to make comfortable whilst is gets better with medication and lifestyle changes. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1MQURQhyrK/

So this 40 something guy woke up in the middle of the night, and it felt like his big toe has decided to audition for a role as a throbbing, fiery demon.

Congrats, you might have gout! It's basically your body throwing a surprise party for itself—and the surprise is a bunch of painful, needle-like crystals made of uric acid. Fun, right?

So, what’s the plan to kick this unwanted guest out?

Medication: The Party Crashers

NSAIDs & Colchicine: Think of these as bouncers. They show up, calm the chaos, and tell the pain to take a hike.

Allopurinol & Febuxostat: These are the long-term security guards. They work behind the scenes to keep the uric acid levels low, so the party never even starts.

Lifestyle Changes: The Sobering Up Act

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Drink water like it's your job. It helps flush those pesky crystals out before they can cause trouble.

Dietary Tweaks: Time to break up with your favorite purine-rich foods. This means saying "see ya" to red meat and "so long" to beer. Your taste buds might be sad, but your toe will thank you.

Move It: Light exercise can help keep your joints happy and your weight in check, which also helps prevent future flare-ups.

If your big toe is still giving you the silent treatment (or the loud, painful kind), it's time to call in the professionals. A doctor can help you get the right meds and a plan to ensure your toe doesn’t turn into a volcanic eruption again.
