How To Find The Right Running Shoes

8/30/2017

0 Comments

 
Whether you’re an Olympic athlete or a periodic pavement pounder, the right pair of running shoes can make a lot of difference to your exercise regime. This is because the right pair of runners can effectively help you run stronger as well as prevent injuries.
However, running shoes may feel comfortable when you are standing in a store but the true test comes several miles into the run. The ideal pair of shoes has more to do than simply running and the shape of your foot. A bad choice of footwear can cause health conditions like foot pain, back pain and so forth. At the same time, buying the right pair can leave you bewildered and confused. Hence, read through this guide on how to choose running shoes that suit you the best: 

specialized store

Determine The Type Of Running
This stage will significantly influence what kind of shoe will be best for you. For instance, if you are going to run on a flat track, you won’t need extra traction on your shoe. Road running will require less traction and lighter in weight. Hence, see to it that you only buy running shoes as they are lighter in weight or you might end up training shoes that are considerably heavier.
Consult A Physiotherapist
At times, you may have an injury that influences your gait or physical impairment that may harm your overall physical health. In both these cases, check with your doctor as to what kind of shoes would offer you the best support and the desired running experience. He will make sure that selection of the pair of runners will simply restore and heal the suspected part of your body. 
Pick From The Right Shoe Category
Picking the right type of shoes is an essential step. If you do not have the right pair, you might either end up falling or damaging your leg muscles. Therefore, select the perfect type of pair from the following category:
  • Stability shoes- It is suitable for runners from mild to moderate overpronation. 
  • Barefoot shoes- This type of shoe provides the minimum protection from potential hazards on the ground. 
  • Motion control shoes- Recommended only for those who have moderate to severe overpronation. 
  • Minimalist shoes- Extremely overweight with no arch support so that your running lasts up to 300-400 miles.
If you find it difficult to even run a short distance, visit a PT for essential strength training program for your leg muscles. 
Go To A Specialized Store 
There are many different styles and designs of running shoes available. Each one is crafted with variations of foot size, material, gait, etc. A specialized store has special equipment to help you select the right pair of shoes based on factors like foot size and gait. 
Now that you know how to choose running shoes, make sure that your foot health is in place too. If you think you have a severe knee or ankle condition, consult a PT to ensure safe and healthy running.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation

Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Image source: http://atleta.com.au/blog/
Torn muscles? Locked joints? Or a fracture? Physical therapists can help solve all of these problems. How is a sports injury recovery managed? When someone pulls a muscle, they are usually asked to get sufficient rest and perform certain types of exercises which helps with sports injury recovery.

We will explain briefly what usually happens in case of common sports injuries.

Torn ligaments and tendons
One of the most common injuries due to sports is torn muscles and ligaments. Sports physiotherapy is used to treat torn ligaments and tendons and various exercises and stretches are prescribed in order to do so.
  • What is done: At times surgery is needed to repair the tear, followed by several months of physical therapy to recondition the damaged tissue.

Tendinitis
Tendinitis is a common condition that involves inflammation of the soft tissue around muscles and bones, most often in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle. The simplest way to treat tendonitis is to first identify the aggravating factor and stop doing it. After that, use ice to reduce the swelling, if any, and be persistent about it. Persistence is the key to driving away these issues that are keeping you from getting back into that workout routine.

Fractures
Fractures are the breaking of bones due to accidents. From skiing to walking, people have been injured and people have been put into casts. During this time the fracture is immobilized, the muscles weaken.
  • What is done: Physical therapy helps return the muscle tissue to a healthy state following an injury. Slowly and steadily, the person is asked to perform various exercises which will gradually help him in getting used to daily activities as he was before.

Dislocations

Dislocations occur due to an external force which pushes the ends of your bones out of the joints. A contact sport is usually to blame for dislocations.
  • What is done: At times when a shoulder is dislocated, the decision whether to surgically reduce the shoulder may depend on associated injuries, fractures and damage to the shoulder joint.
​
Arthritis
Due to repetitive motion, a number of athletes have to deal with arthritis. Similar to other injuries, arthritis can be treated with physical therapy. Occupational therapy can teach you how to reduce strain on your joints during daily activities. Occupational therapists can show you how to modify your home and workplace environments to reduce motions that may aggravate arthritis.

Contact professional physical therapists who can help you hasten the pace of the healing process of your injuries.
