Gobblerfest 2012

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth on Friday, September 7! We had such a great time informing and educating our community at Gobblerfest and a HUGE thanks for welcoming us!

Here are a couple pictures we took at Gobblerfest and visit our Facebook to view more!

We call this the "draw with your foot" game (very straightforward)!

Need:

- sketch pad

- markers (one for every person - so no one shares!!)

- feet

We played for shirts! I announced to each pair who ever could draw the best #Hokie bird or #Hokie football player wins a free t-shirt...somehow everyone wound up getting one though...

- The Shenandoah Podiatry Team

Virginia Tech is Going Green

After VT's wide receiver, D.J. Coles, PCL ligament heeled the team had their hopes up. Soon after however, linebacker, Tariq Edwards, suffered a stress fracture in his shin which hasn't been healing well after the mishap earlier this year. The hopes for an injury-free season starter diminished even more after left guard, David Wang, sprained his left ankle.

Wang received surgery and was placed in a green jersey (no contact) for a recent closed mini-scrimmage. Last season Wang was named most improved offensive player only to break his foot in the second game of the season!

Although Wang seems to be doing better, a number of other players were in green jerseys which several are suffering from a hamstring injury.

Good luck, Hokies! We hope your injuries heal correctly and quickly!!

Podiatric Medicine Helping Dorenzo Hundson and the Virginia Tech Hokies

Dorenzo Hudson has been a star on the basketball court for the Hokies this season but unfortunately even stars fall sometimes. On January 16^th at the Florida State vs. Virginia Tech game, Hudson suffered from a stress related bone bruise and has been dealing with the injury ever since.

Even still, this junior point guard has not let that affect the amount of points he has been racking up at every game. Just one week after he bruised his bone he scored the winning basket at the Boston vs. Virginia Tech game.

He has kept his game points very high to everyone’s delight. This injury has not caused Hudson to miss a game yet, although he did have to miss practice this week and sit out a few minutes during the game against Maryland on Feb 27th. Hudson has been a huge part of the Hokies success this season and this injury has kept everyone on the edge of their seat, just hoping that it won’t take their star out of the game.

Luckily with trainers, podiatric medical equipment (an orthopedic ankle brace and an immobilization boot), rest, and an amazing amount of determination on Hudson’s part, he has kept his game strong and will hopefully carry the Hokies to the NCAA championship.
