Title: Physio Crows Nest for treating painful feet - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: AJ, a Physio Crows Nest, is new to the area after working in the city in a specialist foot and ankle clinic. Many people think they have to live with painful feet, I hear it a lot; “I just thought it was part of getting old”, or “I thought my problem was hereditary”. Many times there are simple causes like a specific tight muscle or joint, that once mobilised or released, enables the foot to function normally again and pain to be relieved. One example of this is a common runners complaint; where the abductor hallucis (a muscle that runs along the inside length of the foot) becomes tight and causes the heel to get stiff. This has the effect of reducing rotation in the foot and shock absorption. It can also trap nerves that travel under it and cause pain to spread up to the toes. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
