Given the ongoing excessive heat warning in the Yuma community, there is a heightened risk of contact burns from hot surfaces. Dr. Casey Noroyan from the YRMC Emergency Department has advised the community to exercise increased caution when outdoors during peak heat hours to prevent such heat-related injuries. It is crucial to wear appropriate footwear when walking outside to prevent burns on the soles of your feet.

Here`s a reminder that should swim around in your head when in clinic, today im in Bali and have done twice as much walking as i normally do, no surprise that my calves are extraordinary tight and walking in different footwear ( thongs or flip flops for our USA followers) its all to do with load, luckily Bali has plenty good therapists. Many common lower limb injuries could be avoided! Research has shown that more than half (54%) of sports-related injuries refer to the lower extremities. Just about anyone who is regularly active will be familiar with, or know someone who has suffered from runner's knee, shin splints, foot or ankle pain. Whilst these injuries may often stem from a complex chain, or from trauma, many common 'over-use' injuries of the lower limbs are predictable and could be avoided. In this video, I describe the most common causes and the best ways to keep your lower limbs in good shape. BE AWESOME AT WHAT YOU DO! Want to learn more?
