On Saturday, one of our young gymnast patients came back in to see Penny for her second session, working on foot mobility that had been affecting her point.

Last time, Penny gave her a small set of exercises to do at home, focused on improving strength and movement through key parts of the foot.

Just two weeks later, you can already see the difference.

For gymnasts and dancers, point plays a big part in performance and scoring, and when something’s not quite moving as it should, it shows.

Swipe to see where she started and how things have improved in a short space of time.

We’ll keep building on this over the next few weeks to help her get stronger, more controlled and more confident in her point.

Stay tuned for updates!

This young gymnast came to see us to improve her foot line and point extension.

No injury, no pain. Just the aesthetics that matter in elite sport and the frustration that comes with reduced foot mobility in gymnastics.

Our MSK expert podiatrist Penny, who specialises in dance and gymnastics, stepped in to assess exactly what was going on.

Pennys assessment showed she was gripping through her toes instead of achieving a clean “long toe” position.

A sign of weak intrinsic foot muscles and reduced control.

🚩 Her left foot is significantly weaker than her right - swipe to the end of the pics to spot the difference!

💡 So we are not stretching more.
💪 We are re-training.

Focused work to build strength, improve control and refine movement patterns. All designed to support better line, cleaner extension and stronger landings.

We will review her progress in two weeks to see the improvements she has made. Stay tuned.

If you are a dancer or gymnast looking to improve performance or work through an injury, we can help.

Most people don’t realise how much pressure dancers’ and gymnasts’ feet go through.

These small corrections can make a big difference to movement, control and injury prevention.

Penny specialises in working with dancers and gymnasts of all ages, helping keep feet strong and performing at their best.

Another great evening with X at talking feet, injuries and running technique.

Loads of good questions, conversations and plenty of running chat.

Aliza took the lead on the night, working with the Friday Night Lights crew at One Track and sharing some insight on staying injury free and keeping runners on the road.

Aliza talked through the ASICS Nimbus 28 and why it’s a go-to for comfort, cushioning and longer, easier miles.

If your feet or shoes don’t feel quite right, drop us a DM. Always happy to help.

What a brilliant first night with and the .

We loved meeting you all hearing your running goals and chatting through how to keep feet feeling their best.

ASICS are celebrating the launch of the Nimbus 28 and we were excited to talk about why the right shoes matter so much for comfort performance and injury prevention.

Thank you to everyone who joined the run and stayed for our recovery session after. Helping runners stay strong and enjoy every mile is what we love doing.

Look out for more updates this week as we continue our sessions together.

Shoes not right for you or want to try the Nimbus 28? DM us for more info.
