Multiple mechanical factors are thought to be associated with Plantar Heel Pain but the evidence is conflicting and it isn't clear what is a cause of symptoms and what may be an effect (Sullivan et al. 2020). 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #RunningInjury #Physio #Physiotherapy

Brilliant research from Dr Tim Hoenig and colleagues in the BJSM has given us a great overview of return to sport times for low and high risk bone stress injuries. See paper for details 🔗 bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/7...

A quick overview of muscle activity during running 🏃🏼‍♀️ #Running #RunningGait #Physio #Physiotherapy #RunningInjury

Throwback to recording one of my favourite #podcasts a couple of years back with Dale, @running-physio.bsky.social and Stefan 👌🏼 Drinking ☕️ and chatting about how to maximise your patients #rehab adherence Ep #467 by BMJ talk medicine on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/j2CtVRKTJTZY...

Increasing step rate while running has multiple potential benefits. Despite this recommendations should be based on gait analysis rather than the magic number of 180 that many aim for! #Running #Physio #Physiotherapy #RunningGait

Low Energy Availability is detrimental for athlete health and performance. Be sure to spot the signs and arrange the right support. #Physio #Physiotherapy #Running #RunningInjury #FuelToBeFast

New research on over 1,000 runners found that Low Energy Availability impaired performance & increased the risk of injury & race-day medical issues (Whitney et al. 2024) 🔗 https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2024/11/11/bjsports-2024-108181 #Physio #Physiotherapy #Running

Endurance performance starts with strong foundations of consistent training, effective recovery (including sleep 😴) and a diet that meets an athlete’s energy and nutritional needs. Injury often requires the same! #Physio #Physiotherapy #Running #RunningInjury #PhysioSky #SportsMed #SportsMedSky

Cross-training options for injured runners 🏃‍♂️ Response may vary so it’s always best to test on an individual basis. #Physio #Physiotherapy #RunningInjury #PhysioSky #SportsMed #SportsMedSky

I teamed up with foot & ankle specialist @lizbayleyphysio.bsky.social to created 4 exercise programmes for Plantar Heel Pain. 3 are based on Osborne et al. (2023) where 18 experts devised exercises for PHP. The ‘LiTHE’ programme is our own creation which fits more closely with S&C principles…

New to BlueSky What are the best accounts to follow for all things healthcare, evidence and policy?

We’ve all heard the lines: “Running is bad for your knees” and “don’t run if you have knee arthritis, it will make them worse”. Many people heed this advice and stop. Of course we see people who do struggle to run due to knee pain from Osteoarthritis and avoid it.

Is barefoot running on grass effective for Plantar Heel Pain?🦶 Positive findings in MacGabhann et al. (2022) but multiple limitations to consider with no control group or blinding of participants/ assessors. Further research needed. Paper 🔗 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
