Proper Shoe Selection

   Proper shoe selection is an important part of injury prevention. Forces greater than three to five times your body weight are placed on your feet and dissipated up your leg when you run. Not only does running place a lot of force on the foot, but also walking and everyday activity can place enough stress on the foot to cause pain. The right running shoes will accommodate the needs of the individual walker and runner and can help enhance comfort and performance.

 

Runner's Knee

   Chondromalacia Patella, or “Runner’s Knee” occurs when repeated stress on the knee causes inflammation and a gradual softening of the cartilage under the kneecap (patella). The inflammation of the cartilage prevents the kneecap from gliding smoothly over the end of the thigh bone (femur), causing pain and swelling of the knee. The underside of the kneecap should be smooth and move within the femoral groove (a groove on the top of the thigh bone). If the kneecap is pulled sideways, it becomes rough like sandpaper and the symptoms reappear.

 

Shin Splints

   The lower leg pain resulting from shin splints is causes by very small tears in the leg muscles at their point of attachment to the bone. There are two types, anterior and posterior. Anterior shin splints occur in the front portion of the shin bone (tibia). Posterior shin splints occur on the inside (medial) part of the leg along the tibia. Anterior shin splints are due to muscle imbalances, insufficient shock absorption or toe running. Excessive pronation (the foot’s tendency to roll inward during running) contributes to both types.

 

Plantar Fasciitis

   The plantar fascia is tough fibrous tissue along the bottom of the foot , traveling from the heel to the toes. Inflammation of this structure is called plantar fasciitis and is usually felt as pain in the arch, near the heel. Runners usually find that the first step out of bed in the morning is the worst, and then the pain gradually decreases during the day. Predisposing conditions include overpronation of the foot, tight calf muscles, poor ankle flexibility, and weak muscles on the bottom of the foot.

 

Tendon Injuries

   Knee tendon injuries range from tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon) to a ruptured (torn) tendon. If a person overuses a tendon during certain activities such as dancing, cycling, or running, the tendon stretches like a worn-out rubber band and becomes inflamed.

   Movements such as trying to break a fall may cause excessive contraction of the quadriceps muscles and tear the quadriceps tendon above the patella or the patellar tendon below the patella.

   This type of injury is most likely to happen in older people whose tendons tend to be weaker. Tendinitis of the patellar tendon is sometimes called jumper's knee. This is because in sports requiring jumping, such as basketball, the muscle contraction and force of hitting the ground after a jump strain the tendon. The tendon may become inflamed or tear after repeated stress.

Team Sports

   Our team members are specialized in the Team Sports Equipment program. They service our middle and upper schools’ accounts with individual attention.

   For example, during the spring track season, these employees will visit the schools, meet with the runners and the coaches, screen each athlete for any abnormalities and then place each in the appropriate shoe. The same is true with basketball, football, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, racquetball, squash, tennis and cheerleading.

   This personal approach reduces serious foot injury — one of the leading factors why our business has been so successful!

   We also cover your team apparel needs! Once we have sizes, we order uniforms and embroider or screen print any design or logo you desire. Almost any sports uniform may be ordered and personalized.

  • Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Track, Volleyball, or Wrestling uniforms.
  • Choir or band warm-ups.
  • Cheerleading uniforms and camp wear.
  • Jerseys or tees of any description.
