Worth reading. We see occasional suspected foot fractures that present in some of our elderly but quite mobile clients. It can often be misinterpreted as a foot sprain by many as it can happen with something as innocuous as stepping off a bus or high step. If anyone ever feels it’s possibly more than a sprain then consulting a Podiatrist or their Doctor might be considered.

It is Osteoporosis awareness month 🦴

Osteoporosis is a condition where our bones become weaker and can put us at an increased risk of having a fracture (even from a small bump).

Having osteoporosis doesn’t necessarily mean we will definitely break a bone and there is plenty you can do to reduce your risk.

Exercise and physical activity can not only improve your bone strength, but also the risk of falls, which may offer benefits in the management of osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercise and resistance exercise are particularly important for improving bone density and helping to prevent osteoporosis.

Here are a couple of infographics on children’s footwear that you may find useful. However, do bear in mind to try to use a trained child’s shoe fitter if possible. That can be difficult as there isn’t always a well trained fitter in every business. With that in mind, the infographic images may help some parents/grandparents.

I guess this is already known by high heel users but worth sharing in any case.

Great benefits with just 30 mins walking a day! In addition, walking helps maintain the strength of muscles within our feet and will help support our knees and hips….especially so if we add a few set of stairs or hills to walk up! 😊💪

Look at all the health benefits of walking 30 minutes per day can bring. Will you try it?

Walking is good for us. We are bipeds, evolved to walk!

Not all calf pain is related to musculoskeletal skeletal complaints. Pain in your leg and calf mucscles when walking which subsides at rest may be related to narrowing of the arteries in your leg. See this info graph below on how physical activity can help improve this condition.
