The Anti-Gravity Treadmill: What is it and how can it help you?
We have an Alter G Anti Gravity treadmill in our NK Active Romsey Clinic. It's an amazing piece of kit and great for post-surgery and post-injury rehab, generally improving your fitness (for runners, as well as those just wanting to get fitter and/or lose weight), and for building and improving strength as you age.
If you're local to Romsey come and and try it out. You can offload up to 80% of your body weight, run, walk (and re-learn to walk) and do exercises all in an anti gravity environment.

Heel lock taping for ankle issues

Ankle sprain and injuries are common in most sports and a heel lock is a really effective way to help offer that stability, whilst you are going through your treatment journey.

    Hello and thank you for offering real advice for this injury on youtube and not baiting people for other purchases. I have a question. I just got diagnosed with a plantar plate sprain with no deformity. Ive had the pain for 2 years and was prescribed a walking boot for two months and was told this would have about a 50% success chance to heal. Do you think this was a bad suggestion? Should I go for a hoka instead and try with exercises? Any guidance you can provide would be appreciated. My doctor was not very helpful.

    • @NKActiveClinics
      @NKActiveClinics 2 місяці тому

      @@tommyddurand no worries a pleasure. With out seeing your foot hard to comment as such. However a general rule, I am not a fan of long periods of off loading. My personal view is need to work on the strength side of things and building up strength and tissue tolerance and off loading whilst been active, so using rocker soled shoes Good luck. There are other videos on the channel around strengthening exercises If you need any help more than happy to do a online or face to face appointment

      Sorry this is a very vague answer as it depends our clinical evidence. Say it is anything from 12 weeks up to 7-8 months from when you start a treatment plan. There are many factors that count towards the difference in time length the main factor is if there is problems or dysfunction around the big toe as this will increase the load going through the leaser plantar plate those toes

    I do have the pain after exertion. Burning pain in the two calves. But I have another type of pain that's constant and feels like my legs will blow up. Everyone with CECS seems to only report the first kind of pain after exertion. I'm seeing doctors but can really use the advice. Do you think this can happen with CECS? The constant pain?

    • @NKActiveClinics
      @NKActiveClinics 11 місяців тому

      Thanks for the question. with CECS pain will not continue, with Biomechanical over load syndrome (BOS), pain will not continue after, however as with BOS it is often related to reduced strength in the legs and calf you can get muscle pain after. The other option to consider is popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. Happy to have an appointment face to face or video if you are not local

    I’m a high school cross country/track runner who has dealt with shin splints and other overuse injuries before. Recently, when I’d get about 15 minutes into a run my lower legs would start feeling tight and ache sort of like a shin splint so then i’d stop running. The pain would usually continue for about 10-15 minutes and then would usually settle after that. I also feel the ache towards the end of a school day sometimes after I’ve walked around for a while, but it’s usually not as bad. I took 3 weeks off thinking it was shin splints, went on a run, and then the same pain and tightness came back. I had an MRI to rule out a stress fracture and I have no stress fractures. Could CECS be a possibility?

    • @NKActiveClinics
      @NKActiveClinics 11 місяців тому

    • @NKActiveClinics
      @NKActiveClinics Рік тому

      Sorry to hear you are suffering from this. Yes, military recruits are one of the most common groups we see this in, especially new recruits, I think part of it is with basic training and tabbing, a lot of people don't do a lot of the physical prep work prior to joining. The biomechanical overload syndrome was actually developed in the military as they found if they made the soldiers stronger, in some work on the way they walked, things got better. This is partly also where the rough guidelines of squatting body weight and dead lifting 1.5 X body weight came from. In the clinic during the rehab process, we get the military patients to do rehab with their kit (or equivalent weight) on. Hope your symptoms get better and hope you are getting the required support. If not we can help. Thanks, Nick

    I'm a bricklayer, high foot arch and my personal opinion of my planter fasciitis is the heavy safety boots that I have ( by law) to wear on my feet for 9 hours a day - 5,6 and often 7 days a week. I cannot wiggle my toes in them because of the steel toe caps. My ankles are weak because the boots must be at least ankle hight and there designed to support your ankles incase you go over on your ankle. There is a steel plate built into the base incase you stand on a nail so I cant flex my arch. The pain I have been in is horrendous in, my opinion is that these safety boots are very unhealth and un-safe for my feet. I have also noticed more building trade workers complaining about feet problems. I am not a runner or athlete but P/F has had a huge sad impact on my social life. I am very slowly getting on top of my problem but the aggrevation will keep coming back as long as I wear " safety boots" . UK based.

      Thanks for the message Graham, I agree, I am not a fan of safety shoes, I have had 3 patients this week where safety shoes played a huge role in their problem, the issue with the design of safety shoes, is they are designed around safety and not foot function, I believe they could make a couple of changes to the boots to help out, whilst steel maintaining the safety. Currently, you cant change on the shoes, so you need to off load with orthoses (insoles) and making the foot much stronger than average to cope with the loading. We have patients, who manage to get treatment and orthoses paid from by their employer as it is part of PPE to do their role as the cost of treatment is less than then the cost of going on sick. Hopefully that helps, we can offer virtual or face to face appointments if required. Thanks
