Listed are a few of the questions members asked:
- Member: Should I scrape off my calluses before a run?
- Dr. Kate: I find them to be beneficial, especially before race day. If you remove them, you might get blisters! You can certainly scrape off a couple of layers if you prefer, just don't make the skin raw and therefore vulnerable
- Member: I have tendonitis on the top of my foot, what can I do about it?
- Dr. Kate: Ice your foot 10-15 minutes a few times a day, stretch, don't tie shoes too tight, and try stretchy laces that you can get a Dicks Sporting Goods.
- Member: Can you correct your overpronation?
- Dr. Kate: There are certain ways where you can make you foot over pronate, less. You can train you foot to midfoot strike instead of heel strike as well as wear orthotics.
