Orthotics - The criteria of the Fit
Posted On 10/20/2006 11:57:12 AM by Sandy
Any orthotic that is going to work has to address the underlying repetitive motion of overpronation (overpronation is the maximum range of motion the arch makes with each step, which results in, wear and tear over time).

Plantar Fasciitis – Reason Behind The Harrowing Heel Pain
Posted On 8/4/2006 2:44:46 AM by Sandy
Plantar Fascia is the tight band of muscle placed beneath the arch of the foot. It is the connecting tissue which holds the arch foot and extends to the forefoot. This inflammation of plantar fascia is the main cause of pain for plantar fasciitis. It is known as one of the most common reasons for heel pain and very commonly known as heel spur. Excessive stretching of plantar fascia causes the heel pain, arch pain and heel spurs.

A great way to prevent injuries and improve running and walking performance is to supplement your
marathon training program with a strength training routine. The benefits of an appropriate strength
training program include improved “strength balance”, muscle symmetry, flexibility, and range of
motion. By nature, marathoners do a lot of repetitive training, resulting in overdeveloping some muscle
groups (e.g., quadriceps), while others are underutilized (e.g., hamstrings). The result is a muscular
imbalance that may increase your risk for common running injuries (e.g., plantar fasciitis, patella
femoral syndrome, achilles tendonitis). Strength training can help maintain the muscle strength balance
and keep you on the roads and off the injury list.

Everyone knows that flexibility is good for runners, right? Too bad medical research doesn't agree.
