Adults with Flat Feet: It Gets Complicated QUESTION: Telma, I have read with interest your articles on flat ; feet, especially flat feet with •.children. What I don't understand is, why do I need to see a physiotherapist if I have flat feet? Let's recap what exactly the term "flat feet" means. In . medical terms we call it pes • planus, or a foot that rolls in. ■ If you look at a person from I the back, you see that they -are taking more weight on • an inner arch and, as a con- ' sequence, the foot flattens, [you have observed an : instance of flat foot. Initially 1 this may not sound like a .' condition of grave concern ■but when one considers that i a flat foot will affect how a ' person walks in combination with how much time us 1 grown ups actually spend on : our feet, a flat foot has very important implications. It will affect how we walk and . ultimately, problems may ; develop elsewhere in our -bodies. The observer can see the flattening but a more ■detailed -understanding of each flat footed person's ; condition is possible with a ■computerized gait analysis. The client will walk through ■this examination; the weight ;ol a person is taken in different different measures by their feet , : as he/she walks. Walking ;may seem like a simple •activity, but there are three [distinct parts to the action. [First the heel strikes the •ground, then we roll through Ithe middle part of the foot [and then we push off with •the first and second toes. [This Is the normal stop of a [normal-fooled person. When a person has a flat foot, 'walking Is veiy different. Specifically, two things will happen: 1. They take too much weight through the. heel on the side of the foot that is flat. You will hear, what is referred to as "elephant foot"; as it slams, slams. The heel hits the floor much harder than it should. I've actually seen this as it happens in the gait scan: a red area will show under the heel. With time this will put strain on the spring ligament under the foot • the PLANTAR FACIS - and the sufferer could develop PLANTAR FACIATIS, or heel spur syndrome. 2. The heel does not strike very well, and the walker will roll in to the inner arch and then push off. This is also very clear on the gait scan. With this particular patient the complications move further up the body. The foot is not taking the impact of the ground well, creating the potential for knee, hip and even back problems. Adults tend to take their feet for granted and, on the surface, having a flat foot doesn't sound like such a big deal. But left untreated it can lead to something as "small" as heel spur syndrome, syndrome, as nagging knee problem problem or persistent back pain that actually limits your activity activity level. The best solution is to see your physiotherapist for an examination. The locus next time will address exactly how a flat foot affects the hips, knees, and back.

But such is the case with the Bowmanville Eagles this year. Gone arc the cxciting(?) days when the team was always one loss away from another coaching change, a phone call away from trading trading players or importing them from across the province or even across the country. There arc no more fights in practice, or in the dressing room during during the intermission of a game. Heck, even the gossip gossip about the team relocating relocating to another town is nonexistent. nonexistent. And is the end result of all of these changes for the better? How about a battle for first place in the Ruddock Division of tbe Provincial Jr. A League's Eastern Conference? "(First place) is something something for us to strive for," said rookie head coach Curtis Hodgins following Sunday night's 3-2 loss to the Trenton Sting. The win propelled Trenton into first place, one point ahead of Bowmanville who arc second. second. "After last season, this is a big change," Hodgins continued. "We don't want to be an also-ran hockey club. Anybody can be .500 and middle of the pack." The turnaround the team has shown after 14 games is a direct contrast to the year they suffered through last season. Bowmanville finished with a record of 15-31-5, •™»TWg ' ' 1 7 . «B viteArfMavraUMWiiIj '• y*vt ^asSfeairmL-; • / m vfWJHr'/r yy <« v&jÊfëjtsiÿ' xVw , . ■ >4 , FLYING HIGH - Bowmanville Eagle forward Adam Armstrong (#26) goes airborne in an attempt to score on Trenton Sting goaltender Dwayne Bateman during third period action of Sunday night's Provincial Jr. A League game at the Recreation Complex. The game pitted the top two teams in the division in a battle for first place, with Trenton coming out on top 3-2. The loss snapped Bowmanvillc's unbeaten streak on home ice at five games. But the success the team has enjoyed thus far in the season is a big improvement over the disappoint managing only three wins on the road. The goals against average was a horrible horrible 5.59. This year, they arc 9-5-1, and already have four road wins to their credit. And, thanks to the acquisition of goaltender Ryan Penney, the goals against have been shaved down to 2.88. "Everyone is coming to play every game, and our first priority is to win," said the team's leading scorer, Adam Armstrong, who has 13 goals and 24 points already, and is one of the many reasons the team is off to such a quick start. "Everyone is playing a role. We know that we arc battling for first place,' and that pushes us. It gives us an advantage to go into each game knowing we could be in first place if we will." Individuals win awards, but teams win games, and we don't really care about the awards." -Eagles coach Curtis Hodgins With all of the turmoil that surrounded the hockey club last year, one of the first things Hodgins wanted wanted to improve on was the team's chemistry. What he has assembled is a team of players who want to play. "We play together as a team. We don't have any individuals," he said. "Individuals win awards, but teams win games, and we don't really care about the awards." Though it's not really fair to draw comparisons, general manager Mike Laing likens this year's team to the one that advanced to the All Ontario Jr. C finals four seasons ago. Not so much talent-wise, but on desire and harmony among the players. Although the players deserve much of the credit for the team's strong play, Laing pointed out that the coaching staff has a lot to do with what is happening on the ice. "Curtis Hodgins and the rest of the staff are doing a tremendous job," l aing said. "Every returning returning player has come up to me and said I made a great choice in hiring Curtis." As for the possibility of any controversy as the season season progresses, there seems to he very little chance of that happening. Which is a 180 degree change from previous years. "We're not looking to make any trades or changes. We're going to go with what we have." Boring? Perhaps. But also highly successful. And that's what matters most. Halminen Homes Ro Friday, October 24, saw the Toros venture to the beautiful Iroquois Arena Complex to meet the Wildcats. The Wildcats came out flying and bombarded goalie Scott Junkin with a barrage of shots during the first minute of play. Junkin was up to the challenge and turned away them all. Lukas Pither streaked away on a breakaway to open the scoring. From that point on, the Toros never stopped attacking and rolled on to an eventu- Bad Outing for Lange's Foto The Lange's Foto Source Minor Peewee Toros travelled to Uxbridge for a late night game, that will be remembered remembered as the forgetful encounter. Team trainer Gary Emond was at the arena,.without his first-aid kit, The referee staff, made up of a head referee, minus his two linesmen who forgot forgot to show, pulled a couple couple of volunteers from his helmet. One, being assistant assistant coach John Hogarth, who may have forgot an offside or two. Cord Sharp and Terry Lynch volunteered volunteered their services to operate the clock and scoreboard in the brand new Uxbridge complex, only to realize someone forgot to hang it from the rafters. The worse offenders offenders to forget were the Toros players who forgot the positional play that head coach Paul Robinson has worked on the previous previous two practices. Let's try to forget that the team lost to the fast skating, physical, Uxbridge Bruins 4-1, and try even harder to forget that defenseman Michael Oliver has a cast on his foot, and is cheering from the bleachers waving his teammates on with his crutches. We wish you a speedy recovery, as your speed on the bluclinc is greatly missed. The player of the game has to go to Ryan Hibbard in goal, who gave an all-star performance performance in net, Jesse Bradbtirn, assisted by Patrick Lcnchan, was the Toro marksman. The second game of the week also started with a delay, as Keswick came prepared, minus their team sweaters. The Toros pulled out their awav Jerseys from the first-aid kit and it was Bull vs Bull. Toros first , goal was scored by Michael Taylor, followed by Michael Daly and netting netting the final goal was Michael Bertoni. Assisting were Brooks Robinson and Andrew Oliver. Not to be outplayed in the Toro net was goaltender Kyle Moore, who recorded his first shutout of the year, getting the team the hard won two points with tjic 3- 0 game. al 13-0 win. The scoring was led by: Pither with 5 goals, Greg Nemisz 2, Lui Mcrtonc 2, and singles going to Brandon Castellen, Brock Murphy, Daniel McCarthy and Nick Arujao. Assists went to: Pither 2, Castellen 1, Murphy 1, Nemisz 1, Mcrtonc 1, Wade Pickell 1, Zak Snowden l\ Kurils Allen I. Saturday, October 25, saw arch-rival Vaughn Rangers come to Darlington Arena for a matinee game. The Toros got off to a flying start with Greg Nemisz scoring a beautiful goal on a fine pass from Denver Brown. Just as quickly, Vaughn came back to tic the game 1-1 before the first minute of play was over, and surged ahead to a 2-1 lead before the second minute was over. Brandon Castellen tied the score for the Toros before the end of the first period. The second period belonged to the Rangers as they scored three unanswered unanswered goals to enter the third period with a 5 .1 lead. The Toros made every effort possible to get back in the game, but only Lui Mcrtonc from Brandon Castellen, was able to heal tbe excellent Vaughn goalie. Final score 5-3 for Vaughn. Sunday, October 26, saw the Toros travel to Markham for their first meeting of the season. The Toros got off to a quick-start with Brandon Castellen popping in a gold from the slot. Later in the: period, it was again Castellen finding the net alter a nice pass from Nick Snowden. The second period saw the Toros apply lots of pressure on the Markham team but were held off the scoresheel by the fine play of the Markham goalie. The third period saw lots of action but no scoring scoring until the last minute when Brock Murphy scored into an empty net to seal the win 3-0. 328 Ritson Rd.
