Fixing Your Feet by John Vonhof
Foot pain and injuries can thwart even the most experienced athletes, whether on the trail, asphalt, or ball court. This title discredits the conventional wisdom of 'no pain, no gain', teaching instead how the interplay of anatomy, biomechanics, and footwear can lead to happy or hurting feet.
Vonhof's advice comes from his own experience as well as from numerous foot experts and ultramarathoners who know what works for them. For each problem, numerous solutions are offered. There is no one best solution - different treatments work for different feet. Clear diagrams, photos, and charts demonstrate foot maladies and treatment techniques. This comprehensive resource covers the full gamut of footwear basics, prevention, and treatments. If it can happen to a foot, it's covered in this book. An avid runner and fastpacker for more than 27 years, John Vonhof treats athletes' feet during ultramarathons and adventure races. He combines the technical training of his work as a paramedic, orthopedic technician, and emergency-room technician with his passion to help athletes with their foot problems. John has travelled world-wide to train athletes, their crews, and medical personnel about proper foot-care techniques.
