Tip Toe Walking

As a child I can recall walking down the street with my mom, my older brother a few meters ahead of us. As we walked my mom instructed “heel, toe, heel, toe”. She was concerned because although he was nearing his teen years my brother was still a frequent tiptoe walker. This was a practice […]

Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease

I’m willing to bet the majority of the public has never heard of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease and that’s exactly what this little blog is hoping to remedy.  Commonly known as Perthes disease this condition typically affects boys age 4-8.  It begins with the blood supply to the femoral head inexplicably stopping.  Once the blood supply ends […]

The Best Over-The-Counter Knee Brace

There are so many over the counter knee braces that sometimes it’s hard to decide which one is better for you. The concept of all them are the same. Compress the area around the knee and keep the swelling down. My personal favourite is the Genutrain by Bauerfeind, for several reasons, the first being that […]

Sometimes as parents of an athletic child you get hit with so many aches and pains and you begin to wonder which ones are serious and which ones aren’t. Do you have a young athlete in your life?

Don’t let arthritis slow you down – “motion is lotion”

I have worn a custom knee brace for my knee injuries and as a therapist and brace fitter I feel a certain kinship with my clients. When I injured my ACL playing soccer, I was so afraid that my soccer playing days were over. The pain was so intense and I was sure I would […]
