As the moon begins to align with the sun leaving us in a few brief minutes of darkness you need to be prepared for the impact on your feet.

​For many student athletes they are actively participating in sports throughout the school year without a break in between seasons. Often they push through their heel pain, ankle injury or other aches and pains until their next sport begins. It is all too common for these issues to be placed on the back burner behind practice, homework and family time. Neglecting issues can be extremely dangerous. Small issues can turn into major problems, hampering your ability to participate in your sport and even school work if they result in an injury that requires lengthy recovery time.
