Today and over the next couple of months I've got something a bit different for you all!Each week I am going to catch up with my brother; Ned Verwey and good friends from down here on the 'Ninch'; Kate Mason and Aaron Sim, as we all train towards the 2025 Ballarat Marathon in just under 10 weeks time. We will catch up weekly to chat about the inevitable ups/downs and life hurdles typically encountered in a marathon build. I hope this podcast can inspire, entertain and/or influence other runners in some way. I also hope it highlights the fact that we can all come at the marathon from different angles and different approaches. That we all have similar challenges and different challenges, and that no one is perfect and that's ok! We aim to have a lot of fun:)More about the Guests:Aaron Sim is a 35 year old father of two, who only picked up running during COVID (2021). In the space of 3 years he has dropped his marathon time from 2:50 to 2:25:32! From 2008-2013 he travelled far and wide playing drums for an Indie band. Prior to finding running, he was an avid golfer! He's now a music teacher at Woodleigh Secondary.Kate Mason is one of the most infectiously bubbly and positive people you will meet. Her and her partner, Ben Griffith (Griffo) with their fur baby Nala in tow, intentionally make their whole life 'not' about running. If they aren't caravanning in NZ, they are always doing something interesting be it: mountain biking, going to a gig, catching up with friends or house renos etc...Kate's an incredibly talented runner with amazing grit and endurance, coming 3rd in 2:34:08 at the Melbourne Marathon in 2024. My brother Ned Verwey is 32 years old and lives in Anglesea and works in Prosthetics and Orthotics at Ballarat Hospital. He was a super talented junior track runner over 1500m-3,000m medaling Nationally! During University years he enjoyed himself and running fell by the way side. He then had several years plagued by injury. However, with patience, persistence and the helpful encouragement of his lovely wife Simone McInnes (also a runner) he has slowly got himself back to the strongest and fittest he has ever been. He's learnt a lot through the process and loves going out for a run everyday!And, then there is myself; Dane, a 39 year old father of two, I have been immersed in running my whole life; as a runner, physiotherapist and coach. This will be my 19th marathon and there is certainly a deep seated motivation to turn back the clock a little, show myself that I can still do it and nail a 'dad PB'!Listen in if you want :)

Dr Zach Thomas and I got back onto the mic to discuss all the things we need to know about our feet. Orthotic, ankle braces, and of course, the shoes.

Duchetto (2024) Can Foot Orthoses Benefit Symptomatic Runners? Mechanistic and Clinical Insights Through a Scoping Review If you're an injured runner we can help you get back to running pain-free. Click the link to book a free call with us https://matthewboydphysio.com/booking/ Running Fundamentals Course https://matthewboydphysio.com/running-fundamentals-course/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/matthewboydphysio/ Summary This episode explores the role of insoles and orthotics in running, discussing their purpose, historical context, and current research findings. Matthew Boyd delves into how orthotics are used to improve alignment and prevent injuries, the shift in professional attitudes towards their use, and the latest evidence regarding their effectiveness for various running-related injuries. He emphasizes that while orthotics can be beneficial for specific conditions, their prophylactic use is not supported by current research. Takeaways Insoles and orthotics are used interchangeably in running. Historically, orthotics were prescribed prophylactically for flat feet. Current research questions the effectiveness of prophylactic orthotic use. Orthotics can help reduce knee and shin pain in runners. Custom orthotics may not be significantly more effective than off-the-shelf options. Orthotics should be part of a comprehensive rehabilitation strategy. Runners can wean off orthotics if they no longer need them. The effectiveness of orthotics varies by individual and condition. Orthotics are not a silver bullet for injury prevention. Health professionals' attitudes towards orthotics have evolved over time.

Join Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, as he chats with Tiffany Graham, MSPO, CPO, LPO, FAAOP(D), about her study aimed to update cephalic index (CI) norms.

Graham shares insights from her research, which analyzed CI values in a diverse cohort of 59 typically developing children, revealing higher modern CI values and significant differences across ethnic groups. She also discusses the challenges of data collection during the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of considering genetic diversity in cranial evaluations.   Show notes JPO article: A New Normal: A Pilot Examination of the Modern Cephalic Index   O&P Research Insights is produced by Association Briefings.

Foot pain is a common issue that many of us face at some point in our lives. While plantar fasciitis is often the culprit, there's another- probably under-reported condition that deserves attention: plantar fibromatosis, also known as Ledderhose disease. In our latest podcast episode, Debra Schindler takes a dive deep into this lesser-known condition with MedStar Health podiatric foot and ankle surgeon, Dr. Paul Carroll.Plantar fibromatosis affects approximately 200,000 people in the United States and is characterized by the growth of fibromas—benign nodules—on the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Unlike plantar fasciitis, which typically causes heel pain that improves throughout the day, plantar fibromatosis presents as a constant pain in the middle part of the foot. Patients often describe feeling a pea-sized bump on the bottom of their foot, which can become painful as it grows.Dr. Carroll explains that while this condition is generally benign, it can be quite painful and debilitating if left untreated. The demographic most affected includes males, diabetics, individuals with chronic alcohol use, and those who have experienced trauma to the foot. Interestingly, there is also a significant correlation between plantar fibromatosis and Dupuytren's contracture, a condition affecting the hands.So, what should you do if you suspect you have plantar fibromatosis? Dr. Carroll advises seeking medical attention as soon as you notice any unusual bumps or persistent pain in your foot. Early diagnosis can help manage the condition more effectively and may prevent it from worsening. While there are several treatment options available, including conservative measures like custom orthotics and steroid injections, surgical options are often considered when other treatments fail. However, surgery comes with its own set of challenges, including a high recurrence rate of the fibromas.One of the more promising treatments discussed in the episode is the use of hyaluronidase injections, which help to shrink and soften the fibromas, making them less symptomatic. Dr. Carroll shares his experiences and success stories with this treatment, providing hope for those suffering from this condition.If you're experiencing unexplained foot pain or have noticed a bump on the bottom of your foot, don't ignore it. Tune in to our latest episode with Dr. Paul Carroll to learn more about plantar fibromatosis, its symptoms, and the various treatment options available. Your foot health is essential, and early intervention can make all the difference.Listen to the full episode now and take the first step towards better foot health!For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.

Susie talks about the new season of the Jinx, which chronicles the murder confession and conviction of real estate heir, Robert Durst, his origin story, and his downfall. And why the original docuseries changed True Crime documentaries forever. We debate whether the long-awaited and much hyped Bluey special did the viewers dirty by making a plotline that is more aspirational than reality based, and why parents are none too pleased. We learn about a nude cruise that is setting sail, but they do not want people getting the wrong idea, so they've listed rules about when to use a towel, take pics, and whether the buffet line will have people's privates dangling nearby. A metal object from the International Space Station hurdled toward Earth and smashed into a Florida home despite NASA believing space junk would burn up in the Earth's atmosphere. Susie describes the documentary about Hans Zimmer, movie score composer and cinematic musical legend (who composed the Interstellar score by the way).Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSusie on X: https://www.x.com/susie_meisterSarah on X: https://www.x.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Get 25% off your first month for a limited time at https://ritual.com/BRAINCANDYGo to https://paireyewear.com and use code CANDY for 15% off your first pair!Go to https://www.songfinch.com/BRAINCANDY and start your song – after you purchase, you'll be prompted to add Spotify Streaming for your original song for FREE - a $50 value!Get $20 off your purchase of the Hatch Restore and free shipping at https://www.hatch.co/BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Exakt Health This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.

Roughly 1 in 4 US adults suffer from bunions and whether you knew it or not, there's actually such a thing as “National Bunion Day '' that's only a few days away. Given the time of year and the applicability to our community, I figured it'd be a good topic of conversation.  For runners like us, bunions often result from the repeated stress of hitting the pavement, wearing shoes that are too tight, as well as having flat feet or over pronation to aggravate the problem.  With that context in mind, I invited Dr. Brad Schaeffer, who you may know from the hit TLC show “My Feet Are Killing Me” onto the pod to talk about this issue. Dr. Schaeffer trained at the Comprehensive Foot & Ankle Reconstructive Surgical Residency Program at the Hoboken University Medical Center and is a Board Certified Foot Surgeon with the ABFAS. In this episode, we talk about the causes of bunions, the symptoms of bunions, what to keep in mind if you have them and you're running with them, how to treat them non-surgically, and some of the latest, cutting-edge procedures out there to take care of them fast with quick recovery.
