Calcaneal apophysitis (Sever’s disease) is defined as an irritation and inflammation of the growth plate (apophysis) at the back of the heel bone (calcaneus) in bones with “open” growth plates = children and adolescents. Symptoms usually improve after it closes, typically around ages 14-16. HOWEVER, in an athlete with closed growth plates, this can present as achilles tendon irritation, so take some caution with “just waiting” it out.

It is pretty darn common in athletes that run a lot (soccer, track, xc, etc.), undergo repetitive lower extremity impact (gymnasts), have high volumes of training, train year-round in 1 sport, and are going through or just have gone through a growth spurt.

It’s a VERY manageable issue and rarely leads to worse injury, from my experience. If they have to take some time off of their sport, these athletes usually get back to activity quickly!

We understand how busy life can get! Virtual appointments can be great when:

- That early postpartum time before you are ready too be out and about
- You can’t find time to get to an in person appointment
- It’s easier not to have to pack up all the kids things to come in (your kids are always welcome at our clinic though!)
- You live anywhere in Washington but not easy driving distance to Bellingham
- Or you just want to have an appointment from the comfort of your own home!

There are soooo many things we can cover through virtual pelvic floor visits. We can talk about urinary incontinence, break down lifting mechanics to get back into the gym postpartum, discuss returning to intimacy, provide advice on healthy habits for pelvic floor function, and SO MUCH MORE

We talk a lot about fueling when it comes to injury prevention, recovery, and more. REDS (or relative energy deficiency in sport) happens when we are in a state of low energy availability (basically we aren’t fueling enough for what we are asking our body to do). This can have huge systemic and performance effects including things like impaired immunity, impaired sleep, impacts on fertility, decreased power and strength with exercise, putting people at 2 x the risk for incontinence and SO MUCH MORE.

Often times when we look at how many calories and how much protein we actually need it can feel overwhelming to try and hit those numbers. The above example (swipe through for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) shows some changes that we can make to help us get there!

The above example is for a 32 year old female. She weighs 160 pounds and is 5’7”. She goes to Crossfit 3 days per week and runs 30-60 min 2-3 days per week. She has 2 kids, a 3 year old and a 10 month old. She is breastfeeding her youngest. Just to survive on a daily basis at rest she needs about 1500 calories. When we add in her exercise and general activity level keeping up with her kiddos she needs around 2500. Then we add in another 400 ish calories from breastfeeding which would put her at 2900 calories. A rough estimate of how much protein she should be aiming for with relatively high training plus breast feeding is 1g protein per lb BW, so roughly around 160g.

As you can see in the post above, things that can help hit these numbers are starting off strong with a solid breakfast, adding in snacks, and increasing protein serving with meals!
