developed a reputation for its parties. Local resident Jenny Davis-Peccoud pulls on her

EDITOR’S REVIEW: PATRICK FALLIS

Foot BiomechanicsOur ability to walk upright developed millions of years ago by the evolution of complex systems which allow us to run and jump then crawl around on all fours. If undue pressure is applied to any of these systems our bodies will react by transferring load to other parts of our skeleton. The result is back, knee and foot pain. Biomechanical analysis gives us the tools to analyse the biodynamic of the body, and how it can be improved. There are several foot categories that determine your gait (walking style) these categories help determine the type of footwear that is most benefi cial. The three main types are supination, neutral and over pronation. Your gait is directly related to your kinetic chain function.

There are several signs which would alert us to a kinetic chain dysfunction, they include:

• Callouses or corns which indicates abnormally distributed forces during the gait cycle• Knees, ankles and back pain• Complaints of shin splints, Achilles tendon problems or Plantafaciitis• High foot rigidity with little movement• Excessively high or low arches• Knock kneed appearance• Excessive pressure on big tow leading to bunions

At Altimus we do not only have qualifi ed podiatrists and osteopaths, but all our boot fi tters are trained to identify underlining biomechanical issues, this gives them the ability to recommend shoes and boots, which will best fi t to your type of foot. If additional correction is required an appointment can be made to see one of our specialists who are trained in the production of inserts and orthotics which can improve the kinetic chain function.

Step Up To A Better PostureOur gait is affected by both our skeletal function and our musculature, it is obviously important to strengthen our core but it can advantageous to strengthen our foot and lower

leg muscles as well. To help this part of the process we now stock fi ve fi nger shoes //http://www.vibramfi vefi ngers.com this range of shoes allows each toe to move independently, they allow you to land on your forefoot, directly below your centre of gravity, this results in optimum balance, increased stability, less impact and greater propulsion. Running in Five Fingers delivers sensory feedback that improves agility and equilibrium and allows immediate form correction. In addition it stimulates and strengthens muscles in the feet and lower legs.

Our running specialists will be delighted to get the right ones for you, and if you want to take them for a spin we can organise a test run for you.

The most common complaint that runners and hikers come in with is “My knees are killing me.” Many customers, mistakenly that this is due to old age or over usage and mistakenly believe that nothing can be done. Most people are unaware that with our modern diagnostic and knee realignment techniques they could both extend and improve their trekking or running experience. Many runners or hikers, who suffer from knee or foot problems, believe that new footwear may be the answer and come into our stores in Reading and High Street Kensington clutching the latest “best shoe guide”. We often have to explain that what is the best shoe for their friends is not necessarily the best for them.

Bad TechniquePainful knees may occur sometime after a long hike or run. Overextension, rapid or repeated fl exion (especially when going downhill) are major causes. Stomping feet down hard, transfers impact pressure to the knee, which can result in irritation and infl ammation of the joint surface, resulting in bursitis.

Badly worn or inappropriate footwear also contributes to painful knees . Simple steps may help.• Taking smaller steps• Reduce the mileage• Reduce the weight being carried• Maintain a healthy body mass index

Additional Foot ProblemsA problem with your knees often indicates biomechanical dysfunction. For example an excessively high arch or even collapsed arch can cause your tibia to rotate which in turn causes crucial ligaments around the knee to over extend which causes knee pain and quite often lower back pain. At Altimus our staff are trained to identify biomechanical issues, this gives them the ability to recommend all types of footwear to best fi t your foot type.

Step Into Altimus For A Better WorldFor the next 6 weeks we are giving all of our customers £30 for their old running or walking shoes. They will either be disposed of in an environmentally sustainable way or be sent to a charity where they can be reused in third world countries. Bring your footwear to any of our stores and not only will we give you £30 towards your next pair of shoes from us, but we will also carry out a free foot assessment.
