I have enjoyed three articles on flat feet. How do you mean that flat feet can cause a problem problem in my knees, my hips and my back? I do not quite understand that. Put down the newspaper newspaper and stand UP. Take your left foot, roll the arch in and keep It rolled. Now walk. Right away you'll feel a pull in your leg, either in your knee, hips or In your back. This Is an example of how a flat foot affects your walk, and how your walk will, In turn, affect other areas of your body. A person with flat feet is actually walking on his/her arches. Multiply this little demonstration by the number of steps a person person will take In life, and the picture for complications from flat feet becomes very clear. Everybody rolls In on their arches when they walk, but Its only for an instant and only to transmit the weight from our heels to our toes for the push-off. Walking normally, the heel will strike and then we roll through the mid-foot, It flattens flattens for an Instant, but when we push off again we should be pushing off with the toes. But a flat foot will cause the walker to push off the flattened arch. A strain on the knee results because the motion pulls on the knee. If left uncorrected, the muscles running from the knee to the hip are affected. Now hip pain may surface. If left uncorrected the pain may spread to the back and the body will try to compensate. compensate. Depending on the "solution" "solution" the body trios, neck pain and headaches could be just around the corner. Another possibility is that a flat foot will predispose the sufferer the heel and foot problem and we talked about that in the last article. Through writing about this condition, I hope I have made my readers more aware of the dangers of leaving it untreated. We learned that children can be helped and the good news is that physiotherapy will also help adults. Where the foot is flattened flattened because the person is actually walking on their Inside arch, but the arch remains in good condition, orthotics are critical to support support that arch. Physiotherapy may also be needed, as a treatment before jumping into orthotics. Why? Orthotics will not correct the muscular imbalance imbalance that has caused the flat foot. The physiotherapist physiotherapist will examine the foot, your knees and your back and will emphasize muscles muscles that help to stabilize or correct the flatness of the foot. One of the most Important sets of muscles In this case are the PELVIC, the HIP, the BACK, and the ABDOMINAL muscles. muscles. By training those muscles muscles to be a little stronger, we can help support the hips, the back, the knees and ultimately the flat foot. If you have flat feet or knee, hip or back problems, book an appointment to see your physiotherapist.

In the Badgers' season opener at the BRC, the home team edged a stubborn stubborn Ajax Raiders squad by a 2-l count before dropping a hard fought game to Whitby the next evening by a 5-4 score. Badgers 2 Ajax 1 The third year Badgers, last season's Midget Provincial finalists, got off on the right foot by defeating defeating Ajax in a game that the local team played, a strong defensive game in support of newcomer Kelly Tatton's pitching debut. Tatton, wlio played last season for the Napanec Express, hurled a complete game four hitter in gaining the win. The Bowmanville infield supported Tatton's strong effort by making 16 ground ball outs. The infield, made up of veterans veterans Staecy Rout at first, Megan Carter at second, Lynscy Moss at shortstop, Jen Cowan behind the plate and rookie third basewoman Kelsey Missions, looked solid throughout the tilt. In the low scoring affair the Badgers attack managed managed just 5 hits with Missions and veteran outfielder outfielder Brie Taylor leading the way with a single and a double apiece. Centre fielder Marcia Wagner, the other half of the Napanec connection, chipped in with a single in her first game in a Badgers uniform. Missions' impressive game included driving in both Bowmanville runs. Whitby 5 Badgers 4 The Badgers travelled to Whitby in their second game of the week and lost to the home town team by a single run. Righthander Kelly Talton started on the mound for the Badgers and went 3 innings, giving up 3 Whitby runs before being relieved by veteran Badgers pitcher Pcrnille Petersen. Petersen, coming off a foot injury, which shortened her training camp, finished the game giving up the final two Whitby runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and took the loss. The Badgers anaemic attack-, operated in low gear all game collecting only 5 hits. Returning Badger Amy Lywak was the lone bright spot leading leading the way with a home- run and a single. Petersen, with a two run scoring single single in the top of the seventh seventh inning made it close, in a game that the Badgers were outhit and outplayed. Megan Carter and Marcia Wagner each singled in a losing cause. The Badgers next league action is scheduled for a game in Scarborough followed by a till on Wednesday at home to the Barrie Midgets at the BRC starting at 8:30 p.m. INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY Mason Selects Team After more than a month of tough workouts, a dedicated crew of fifteen hard working twelve-year- olds, have been chosen to represent the Darlington Soccer Club in the Central Soccer League's under-12 division.
