Have you just begun your fitness journey or are you a long time sporting guru?
Either way you may find your feet need a little extra care. High impact sport and fitness is tough on our feet and we need to make sure that we are not causing any long-term harm. Some of these high impact sports include Aussie rules football, netball, basketball, soccer, tennis and more. But its not just those common sports, walking, running or high impact jumping in a gym/boot camp can hurt our lower limbs and we need to make sure we prevent any damage or the onset of pain. Dry needling, mobilisation/manipulation techniques, shockwave treatment, correction of faulty biomechanics, and other modalities can help prevent and maintain our feet from the common injuries related to impact sports. If you are experiencing pain such as shin splints, fatigued legs/feet, heel pain, and achilles pain, your body is telling you that you need more support.
