The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, July 28,1999 Page 7 Kids Get their Kicks at Soccer Academy by Brad Kelly Staff Writer Under a blazing sun in an open field on Monday morning, morning, Jeff Strauch is encouraging encouraging young soccer players performing performing a drill to stay on their toes and continue to move around. It might be a lot to ask of kids on a hot day, but it is all part of the learning process that is involved with the Premier Soccer Academy. "We certainly have to pace the day accordingly," said Strauch of the challenge of keeping the attention of the young players. "Mentally, we have to try and keep them alert rather then doing repetitive, boring things. Over the years, we have found the right balance. The players have fun and learn. Some camps can do one or the other, but not both. Premier has found the right balance." Over 70 house league and rep players • will spend the week at the Hydro Fields near Bowmanville, working on individual skill development as well as team play. It's the tenth year that Premier has held camps throughout Ontario, and during that time, they have offered instruction to over 11,000 players. This summer, stops arc being made in Brampton, Bolton, Newmarket, Waterloo, Oakville, and Toronto to name just a venues. "We'll go wherever they want us if the demand is there," says Strauch with a laugh as he describes the hectic hectic schedule. While the players are broken broken into groups to work on drills in the morning, the afternoon afternoon consists of a mini World Cup. But the emphasis isn't on winning. "Every afternoon the players players can display what they practiced early in the day," said Strauch. "We're looking for the individual development." development." At the end of the week, each player will receive a written assessment of their progress, both individually and in a team environment. Though five days is considered considered a relatively short time to work with the players, Strauch noted that an improvement is noticeable. "Every player is different. There isn't an immediate improvement in all of the kids, but you can sec something there for most of them by the end of the week." The camp wraps up on Friday.

Physiotherapy Effectively Treats Flat Feet Question: Telma, you have explained how it is a good idea if you find that your child has flat feet, to bring them in for an evaluation by a physiotherapist. What's next? Physiotherapy will cut right to the heart ol the condition and change the arch. The degree of change, however, depends on the individual. Consider that there are different degrees of flat feel. In standing, If the arch has sufficiently flattened so much that the person Is actually walking on the Inside of their arch, then orthotlcs become very important. We need to support that arch and keep it from getting any Haller. But for others the arch disappears when they stand on It, but it Is not severe yet to the point where they are walking on the arches themselves. Physiotherapy is the solution In the last instance. To understand how, lot me walk you through Iho three phases of an examination. Let's lake the example of the eight year old girl that I used last weak. Her doctor noticed that she has Hat feel and asked me to oxamlno hot and glvo my opinion on the condition. Sho has flat fool on both sides, but more on Iho loft sldo. The first thing I did was a Computerized Gait and Pressure Analysis on her. This showed that sho was taking too much weight on her loll heel. Secondly, I did Iho Straight Log Ralso Tost. With Hie client lying down, I oxamlnod Iho tonslon ol hor log musclos. With her log straight, I lilted up hor loll log and thon compared Iho tension to that ol lilting Iho right log up. My findings? Thorn was a significant dilforonco. Hor right log lifted up easily and her loll log only wool hall Iho dlstanco in Iho lilt and you could fool n lot ol hamstring tension In Iho loft log, Lastly, I did n dolallod examination ol Iho fool ns far as Iho mobility ol the loot |olnle. I found that Iho lorolool, the loos from the ankles up, moved very well, but that the hind foot, the heel, was stuck and twisted in. When I attempted to twist the left heel out, it would not do this for me whereas on the right side it was perfectly normal. The condition of this child's left heel Is called a hind foot varus or a twisted heel and It Is a direct result of the flat foot condition. To understand how, let's relate It back to the flat feet. One of the big purposes of the feet Is to walk. They take our body weight and transmit it to the ground as we walk. The most common reason why an arch flattens Is because we still have to get the foot to the ground. If one part of the foot cannot move, like the heel, and It cannot move well as it should, then the forefoot will compensate. When this happens, over lime a flat foot results, In order to correct this kind of flat foot, we need to correct the twist In the heel. Physiotherapy will decrease the twist In the heel. If that heel Is not twisted In anymore than there will be less reason for the rest of the loot to twist In, so long as the arch Is not already flattened and the person Is not walking on the Inside of Iho arch. This Is more likely the case with a young child. (It Is also possible with adults but treatment lakos a little longer,) My solution for this young lady Is to start hor on a course of physiotherapy lor the purpose of corroding Iho twist In the hoel and, ultimately, lo help with hor flat loot. Wo will find a change In Iho Hotness In Iho foot In about 80% of the cases, In Iho othor 20% ol the cases, they may havo to go on and got orthotlcs. If you liavo a child with Hat foot or havo Hat foot yoursoll, make an appointment with your physiotherapist and got an examination.
