The study of movements and activity context is an essential component of the practitioner's analysis. A thorough understanding of these various parameters enables podiatrists to propose the most suitable treatment for each case, whether it's advice, prescribing orthotics, orthopedic devices, or specific care.
Podiatry and running have a close and beneficial relationship. Running places high demands on the feet, which is why podiatry is so important. Podiatrists analyze the biomechanics of each runner to identify any imbalances. This collaboration helps optimize the performance of runners by providing custom support. Additionally, podiatrists can offer advice on selecting appropriate running shoes, taking into account foot shape, cushioning, and support needed for a healthy gait. In short, the alliance between podiatry and running aims to ensure that runners are healthy, comfortable, and safe, promoting their well-being.
