Athletic shoewear have recently gained a lot of attention for their role in assisting a person to acheive a variety of health and fitness related goals. Skechers, being on of the first in the industry, have now come to the forefront of our attention again as some of their claims have been refutted.

Oftentimes we see patients who are flirting with shoes to solve an underlying biomechanical issue. In actuality the shoes are a “band-aid” and not solving the true physical issue at hand. Once the physical issues are resolved, the shoes become a means to assist instead of a failed solution. If you have questions regarding your shoewear and what it may or may not be doing for your health, please get in touch with one of the Motion Stability therapists!

We would like to congratulate Melanie Oudin for a great run at the US Open! Last night she lost to (9) Caroline Woziniacki in her first grand slam Quarterfinal event. We can’t wait to see how the future unfolds for Melanie as we all saw the maturity she has at 17, and the ability to beat the best. Good luck Melanie!
