Let'sTalk Foot Ulcers..... One negative outcome of the Ontario lockdowns and stay-at-home orders due to Covid-19 has been less eyes on people from health care workers. This includes eyes on feet and foot check-ups. .............. Many people are unaware that Chiropodists and Foot Specialists are considered essential and have been able to stay open. Many people are nervous to leave the home and wait too long between appointments. Many people who would have been identified as r...equiring care from a Chiropodist in an in-person Doctor's appointment, are only speaking with their Physician over the phone, or not at all. ......... If you have diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, decreased sensation in the foot / feet, or no sensation in the foot / feet, it is important to have consistent checkups. .......... This blog post discusses one possible negative side effect of neglect in foot care. #oakville #palermofootclinic #northoakville #haltonfootclinic #halton #milton #burloak #diabeticfootclinic https://palermophysio.ca/what-is-a-foot-ulcer/

Yes Yes Yes swipe time see what also makes my heart happy. Thaaank you Becky Downie Sadly, the myth comes from egos, a lack of scientific research... being used, and not having perspectives in decision making. Also, many people meant well but just got terrible education, and feel trapped to do what we’ve always done Most of all, fear of the unknown & social judgment from other coaches/parents. And so amazing to hear the legendary coach of Simone Biles and former Olympic Head Coach, Aimee Borman, share support. Yes 3 months fully off like COVID too much, but 2 weeks off + 2 weeks cross-train after season and holidays/etc would be HUGE for gymnasts. Especially ages 10-15 where so many gymnasts struggle with growth, burnout, injuries,etc. Let's use this "forced experiment" to completely change our idea of what's normal in gymnastics. Let’s innovate a new model that gymnasts, coaches, parents, and medical live to be a part of. One that marries science and expert coaching opinions. We definitely have to wait a year to really see the impact, but if we adjust to 4-6 weeks offseason w/ proper cross-training, can see massive progress in burnout/injury/mental health Gymnastics is unique, not different.
