How To Tie Your Shoe for More Ankle Support

Both our Blacksburg and Troutville Medical Assistants attended an Orthofeet Conference in Charlotte last weekend and learned how to tie your shoes in order to give you more ankle support!

Check out our video below and underneath are the 1, 2, 3 steps:



Step 1: Untie "additional" eyelet at the top of your shoe closest to your ankles
Step 2: Create a bunny ear with the additional eyelet
Step 3: Take top of lace back down into bunny ear hole on each side
Step 4: Proceed to tying your shoe normally

4th Quarter Injury?!

Can you imagine getting injured during the 4th quarter of a game? Let alone the Superbowl? How many saw cornerback Richard Sherman go down and gasp at the unfortunate event? Luckily, with the Seahawks in the lead there was no rush to put Sherman back in the game. The last quarter was the second time Sherman hit the bench due to his injured ankle.

Due to Sherman ignoring his injury and pain when he originally hurt his ankle in the beginning of the game, Sherman may have caused an even more severe injury. In both our Blacksburg and Troutville offices, we never want you to ignore your pain! Forget the phrase, "walk through the pain" as we don't want to injure yourself even more! Just remember, your feet shouldn't hurt! Now onto the reason we actually watch the Superbowl: commercials! My favorite is absolutely the Budweiser puppy commercial If you or any loved ones have any pain or discomfort, don't hesitate to give our office a call! We will do our best to work with your schedule and get you in quickly!
