Podiatrist are interested in the situation in which the athlete is practising his or her activity. For this reason, the study of movements and the context of the activity is an essential part of the practitioner's analysis. A good understanding of these different parameters enables the Podiatrist to propose the most appropriate treatment for each case, whether it's advice, a prescription for insoles, orthopaedic devices or specific care.

 

Podiatry and running have a close and beneficial relationship. Running places intense demands on the feet, which is why podiatry is so important. Podiatrists analyse the biomechanics of each runner to identify any imbalances. This collaboration helps to optimise runners' performance by offering personalised support. In addition, podiatrists can advise on the choice of appropriate running shoes, taking into account the shape of the foot and the cushioning and support required for a healthy stride. In short, the alliance between podiatry and running aims to ensure that runners are healthy, comfortable and safe, thereby promoting their well-being.
