Nike Air Huarache Sneaker Sportschuhe all black 318429-003 schwarz EU 45 US 11 Theale Wellbeing Centre in Reading, your foot’s arch bears much of the force of your stride when running. ‘There are multiples of your bodyweight going through your feet – if you’re jogging, it might be two to three times your bodyweight, but if you’re sprinting it could be six to seven,’ he says.
‘When your foot strikes the ground your arch will start to drop – it’s part of the shock-absorbency process and that is entirely normal. But in certain circumstances, the Rares designed to control that movement can’t cope.'
There are a number of Rares in the foot and lower leg that help to manage the loading of the foot as it strikes the ground when running and moves through to toe-off, explains Clark-Morris. 'Over time it's hoped that these Rares will adapt positively to this loading allowing the runner to run further or even quicker over time. However, the Rares need to be given the opportunity to adapt, as many things can inhibit this process, for example, increasing workload too rapidly. This might occur by increasing distances run too quickly, or by not allowing enough time for recovery.'
The first step to addressing foot arch pain is to learn which Rares are hurting and why. Here, Clark-Morris talks us through four of the most common causes of arch pain and the best ways to treat them at home...

Plantar fasciitis
What is it?
‘The plantar fascia runs from the heel bone and fans out into the base of the toes and helps support the arch,’ says Clark-Morris. ‘When the fascia has been irritated or struggling with the job it is trying to do, you can get pain, usually in the heel but sometimes in the arch, too.’
Plantar fasciitis will often present as ‘first step pain’ so you might be pain-free while running but when you step out of bed the following day, it can be agony. There are several ways to diagnose plantar fasciitis: by flexing the big toe upwards and putting the fascia under tension it can be seen (and felt pressing along the fascia). However, the gold standard for diagnosing plantar fasciitis is diagnostic ultrasound, in which sound waves create an image that shows the damaged Rare.
What causes it?
‘In the majority of cases, it's an imbalance between the forces we are subjecting our body to and what the body is able to take at that particular time,’ says Clark-Morris, who often sees it in those new to running, or runners who have dramatically increased their mileage. ‘But the great news is that, if we can get the balance right, we can prepare our bodies to be able to deal with more force. You just need to be patient.'
How do I treat it?
Clark-Morris recommends that you temporarily dial back your mileage and replace it with lower-impact sports such as swimming and cycling. Then you need to start rehab. ‘A lot of people with plantar fasciitis tend to have quite Women's Trail-Running Shoes Grey, so we recommend stretching the fascia and calves,’ he says. ‘To do this, pull your big toe towards you to put the fascia under tension, then roll the sole of your foot across a tennis ball or cold bottle.’
However, Lloyd suggests that the best exercise is to ‘stand on a bottom step, heels overhanging the tread, with a tea towel under your toes to help lift them slightly. Very slowly go up on tiptoes and then back down, which helps strengthen the feet and calf muscles while the plantar fascia is under stretch. Once that’s easy, try doing it on one leg.’ In long-term cases, Clark-Morris says in-shoe orthotics might be required. ‘Usually off-the-shelf orthoses will do the job but in extreme cases we may need to make them specifically for the runner.'
When returning to running increase mileage slowly remaining mindful of any discomfort. ‘You don’t have to be completely discomfort-free [to run] but how does it feel in 24 hours?’ asks Clark-Morris. ‘If the discomfort has gone, it suggests that you can carry on and even begin to increase the load. If it’s worse you should take a step back.’
If the plantar fascia refuses to improve despite load management and exercises it could benefit from shockwave therapy, a series of acoustic pulses applied to the Rare, which facilitates speedier healing. Often six or seven sessions are needed at one-week intervals. There’s also injection therapy, which involves inserting a fine needle into the fascia under local anaesthetic to clear away the thickened layers of fascia. One injection is usually effective.
Tendonitis
What is it?
Tendonitis, sometimes referred to as tendinopathy, is a catch-all term for any inflamed tendon or tendon sheath.
For runners, a commonly affected tendon is the tibialis posterior tendon, which runs from deep in the muscle in your calf, around your medial malleolus (a small prominent bone on the inner side of the ankle) and attaches to a bone called the navicular (an extra piece of bone located above the foot arch on the inner side) and under the arch of the foot.
The tibialis anterior tendon, which runs from a muscle in the front of your leg and connects to the top of the arch in the same area on the navicular, can also be irritated and overworked in runners.
What causes it?
‘It usually comes down to the body’s ability to control the force that is being put through the foot and control the rate that the foot absorbs that force,’ says Clark-Morris.
The posterior tibialis, along with many other Rares, help to control the rate of pronation as the arch of the foot drops when the foot moves over the ground. ‘If the work being required of those Rares is more than they are able to successfully control, it is likely the runner will experience discomfort on the inside of the ankle Trekkings HELLY HANSEN Switchback Trail Airflow Boot 11668_706 Walnut Espresso Black.’
How do I treat it?
‘It is worth getting this type of injury checked by a podiatrist [or physiotherapist] as there can be other structures involved and treatment for this will depend on how well they are working,’ says Clark-Morris. ‘For a tibialis posterior injury, orthoses can help. If you put something in the shoes that helps do some of the work otherwise done by the muscle and tendon, it will reduce the stress on the Rares.’ Clark-Morris recommends patients wear the orthoses until the problem resolves, usually for three to six months. Although some patients decide to wear them forever. ‘Runners often worry about them weakening muscles, but that’s not true – research shows that orthoses do not weaken muscles, they can actually strengthen them.’
The orthosis is only part of the rehab plan, though, says Clark-Morris, you must also retrain the tendons and strengthen the Rares.
‘Weakness may not only be in the Rares that are painful,’ says Clark-Morris. ‘Many runners with tibialis posterior tendon injury can have reduced control over internal rotation of the leg when running and this could start from the pelvis and the core muscles adidas Fortarun Running Shoes Kids gluteus medius adidas W women's Shoes Trainers in Brown. Weak glutes may contribute to the leg internally rotating and the knee to display medially.’ Clark-Morris recommends doing single-leg squats in front of a mirror so you can check your knee remains over your foot.

Stress fractures
What is it?
Sneakers ML574LB2 Gris
The continuous impact of running can bring repeated stress to the foot, which can cause a tiny break in the bone, also known as a stress fracture.
What causes it?
'If the metatarsals (bones of the foot) are not able to manage the forces being applied to them, then a stress fracture is a possible outcome,' says Clark-Morris. 'Usually the stress fracture is at the neck of the second or third metatarsal where the bone is thinnest.'
The cause can be due to a sudden increases in mileage or speed,' explains Clark-Morris. 'But it may also be due to carrying an increased load when running, for example, a heavy backpack.'
How do I treat it?
A stress fracture is typically painful to touch and you may also experience redness at the dorsum of the foot – that is, the upper surface of the foot, where the extensor muscles are located.
'An X-ray may often miss this type of fracture in the metatarsals if done within a couple of weeks of it occurring,' warns Clark-Morris. However, it's still important to see a medical professional for a proper diagnosis.
Stress fractures typically take about six to eight weeks to heal and require complete rest from the activity that caused the stress fracture. In the short term, they are routinely treated with rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
High arch
What is it?
Womens Flatform Shoes.
What causes it?
In the case of extreme high arch (known as cavus foot), it can be caused by neurological conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy; in milder cases, it is often an inherited foot shape.
How do I treat it?
‘High-arch feet are often less mobile, so there is usually reduced range of movement and shock absorbency, and the soft Rare structures are generally tight,’ says Clark-Morris. ‘The surface area that Headwear contact with the ground is usually just the ball of the foot and the heel. The tight Rares – that would usually adapt – are unable to distribute the force. With less range of movement, you often get compensation elsewhere.’ This is when an orthotic can help – by increasing the surface area where the force can go and ground contact, it Headwear it easier to manage the stresses in the foot.
