Read MoreDiabetic marathon
(3 discussions)
I am a type 1 diabetic training for a marathon. Crazy, yes. My problem is calf cramps. At 7 to 10 miles my calves cramp so bad I’m unable to run. I’ve been told salt tablets, stretches,pasta,more water,gatorade,more stretching, ice, heat etc. I’ve extended it to 10 miles before the cramps start and can now resume running after walking a mile or so. I’ve tried to find other diabetic marathoners but have contacted none. I think they all die after their first.
Read MoreBroken Scaphoid, Physical Therapy
(4 discussions)
I recently broke my Scaaphoid and just got out of my cast after 12 weeks in it.
Quite a relief let me tell ya.
I understand that the muscles in my hand/wrist have atrophied after being in cast for the extended period of time.
So what excercises can I do that will help restore the most complete full range of motion to my wrist? My primary concern is that it’s my right hand and being very heavily right handed (though less so since having the cast on) it makes my wrist shot much less effective.
I seem to be able to move my wrist downward almost completely but moving it up is still a major issue.
Broken foot rehab

I broke my foot about 6 weeks ago. The middle metatarsel. I was in a boot and just got it off. I was just wondering what kind of home excercises I can do to strengthen my foot and calf. I would like to play in a flag football tournament in about a month so I’m trying to heal ASAP. Please give me some suggestions and advice. Do you think I will be able to play that soon? Thanks, Andrew

Read MoreInjury prevention recommendation – knee
My 8 year old daughter is a competing gymnast.
In the last few months, whenever she seems to be having a growth spurt, she complains of pain in her right knee while working out. Can you reccomend a knee support that would help reduce the risk of injury while providing freedom of movement when tumbling.
Must fit a tiny leg! She measures only 10 1/2 inches at the center of the patella.
