Brenden our Podiatrist “back” in the media
If you havent come across us before you may not realise that Brenden our principal Podiatrist has for many years been considered one of the foremost experts on feet and Podiatry in Australia. He has for years been called upon to make comment as an expert. From the today show to the Sydney morning herald to Dolly magazine!
This month BB is in HCF’s Fit &well magazine, just in case you don’t get a copy or cant see and read the text here it is below.
“Best foot forward
“High heels tilt your pelvis forward, throw your centre of gravity out of alignment and force your back muscles to work harder to maintain stability,” says Brenden Brown, spokesperson for the Australian Podiatry Council.
If you have lower back pain women should choose a shoe with a wide, flat heel of no higher than 2.5 centimetres and men should avoid wearing loafers and things. “Lower back pain can also be treated in some people by addressing poor foot posture with orthotic supports in shoes,” Brown says.”
