Choosing the right footwear for your activities
Correct footwear is vitally important for maintaining foot health and avoiding injury, while incorrect footwear is linked to foot pain, deformities, and foot disorders. Finding a comfortable pair of shoes may tempt you to wear them for any occasion, but different types of shoes serve different purposes.
Inflammation is a natural reaction in the body that supports healing following tissue damage. However, excess inflammation makes it hard for the body to recover quickly from an injury. This means that healing cannot occur efficiently until the inflammation is resolved. Prompt injury management can help control inflammation, reduce its severity, and allow the next stage of the healing process to occur.
The mind is more powerful than we can imagine. If you believe physiotherapy can help your body, your chances of success dramatically improve. Call Emerald Hills Physio & Sports Clinic today for more info!
