5 Toe-tally Unexpected Facts About Podiatry 👣

1. Podiatrists are sole survivors – Years of training just to deal with your foot drama. They really heel the world one step at a time.
2. Your feet are snitches – They’ll tattle on your health faster than your sibling did in the 90s. Diabetes? Arthritis? Circulation issues? Your feet know.
3. They treat more than bunions – From sprains and sports injuries to skin and nail problems, podiatrists cover way more than you think.
4. Orthotics are arch angels – They lift you up when your arches fall. Literally.
5. Your feet walk 100,000 miles – That’s four trips around the world, yet most people ignore them until they hurt. Rude.

Don’t be de-feet-ed by pain. Step up and see a podiatrist – they’re toe-tally worth it! 👟

Shin Splints: The Runner’s Nemesis 🦵

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), or shin splints, causes pain along the inner shinbone—common in runners and active kids. It’s your body’s way of saying you’ve done too much, too soon.

⚡ Causes:
- Sudden jump in training
- Hard/uneven surfaces
- Poor or worn-out shoes
- Flat feet or overpronation

😣 Symptoms:
- Dull ache along the inner shin
- Pain early in runs, worse with activity

🛠️ Relief & Prevention:
✅ Rest & ice
✅ Supportive shoes/orthotics
✅ Cross-train (swim, cycle)
✅ Strengthen hips, core, calves
✅ Increase training gradually

Listen to your body—treat it early and you’ll be back on track in no time. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

This year’s Chevron City to Surf is just under two weeks away! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️
We can’t wait to hear everyone’s results—run hard and, most importantly, have fun!

Here are some of PEAK’s top preparation tips to help you on the day:

1️⃣ Eat well, drink well, sleep well – It’s obvious, but often overlooked. Good fuel, hydration, and rest are your foundation.
2️⃣ If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – Race day is not the time to try new shoes, gear, or nutrition. Stick to what works.
3️⃣ If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail – Have a race plan and stick to it.
4️⃣ Double tie your shoelaces – You’ll thank us later.
5️⃣ Keep warm at the start line – A light layer you can remove will help your muscles stay loose.
6️⃣ Keep the elbows in – Conserves energy and improves running efficiency.
7️⃣ Go fishing – In the later stages, find someone ahead of you and aim to catch them—it’s a great mental boost.
8️⃣ Save some in the tank – You’ll want the energy for a strong sprint finish!

Good luck to all runners—we’ll be cheering you on! 🙌

Does your child have heel pain? 🦶
Sever’s Disease is very common this time of year.

What is Sever’s Disease in kids? 👣
Also known as calcaneal apophysitis, Sever’s Disease is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children—especially those playing high-impact sports like soccer, basketball, or football.
It happens when the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress and tightness in the Achilles tendon. Kids may complain of heel pain that worsens with activity and eases with rest. Some may limp or walk on their toes to avoid putting pressure on the heel.
While it can be painful, Sever’s Disease is temporary and usually improves with the right care.

Treatment tips for relief:
✅ Modify or reduce activities that trigger heel pain
✅ Apply ice packs to reduce inflammation
✅ Use supportive footwear or heel lifts
✅ Gentle calf massage to ease tightness (avoid aggressive stretching)
✅ Consider taping for extra support
🚫 Avoid flat shoes with low heel pitch as they increase heel tension

We can help your child get back to doing what they love—pain-free. Book your appointment now
