Physio Q&A with Parys (16 Jan 25)

Topics Covered (Time of question in brackets):

  • I've developed pain under my second metatarsal head. It is fine when resting but hurts if running. It's also painful if walking barefoot. Had an X-ray with no signs of stress fracture. I've been advised no running at all for 6-8 weeks and to reduce walking where possible as well. Is there anything else I can do? (00:00)
  • My pace on a treadmill is slower than on the road and it hurts my hip flexor a bit. What can I do to stop this? (06:23)
  • Pain from my ankle going up into my calf for about 9 months and it isn't getting better. Is this a bone or tendon issue? (12:30)
  • How can I get rid of shin splits? I have had it for 5 weeks but it is not getting any better? (23:15)
  • As soon as I start doing a bit more spadework uphill my right TFL becomes very tight and painful when walking or running uphill. I have tried physio and shockwave but it hasn't helped. What else can I do? (28:00)
  • I have a pain on either side of my heel on the fleshy bits to the side but can only release the pain with massage, is there anything I can do at home to help this? (32:40)
  • What is the benefit for doing nerve glide v's static stretching? (36:25)
  • When I do a hamstring stretch it puts pressure on behind my knee and when I do speed work. I have a bakers cyst too, is this related? (41:00)
  • I am getting some spasms above my knee and my physio thinks is't weak quads. Could cycling help strengthen my quads? (46:30)
