A Runner’s Hips Don’t Lie

key to rehabilitating and
potentially even preventing
many lower limb running
injuries may all be in the hips.
Hip strengthening can contrib-
ute to the rehabilitation of two
common knee injuries which
often plague runners.
How An Orthotic Improves
Comfort
Next time you put on your
favourite shoes, take a
moment to check out the
insoles that are inside. Often

Athletic Footwear – The
Definitive Guide
Running, walking, tennis and
aerobic classes are activities
with different footwear re-
quirements. Before you panic
at the thought of spending
hundreds of dollars on sev-
eral pairs of “activity specific”
shoes - don’t fret!
Flip to
Healthy
Soles
Generic flip-flop style sandals
may be fine for the beach, the
pool or the gym shower, but
definitely not for a full day of
walking the hot, hard concrete
streets in the summer! They
may be cute, but that is where
their benefits stop.
