About this episode
On today’s episode we talked to physiotherapist Dr. Sue Mayes about the importance of foot and calf strengthening. She covers the specifics of how to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of the foot as well as common mistakes we can make in rehab. Sue has seen this type of training help prevent injury and improve performance. In her experience a reduction in plantar fascia injuries, ankle sprains, stress fractures and MTSS can all be seen when good foot strengthening is performed.
Sue has been the Principal Physiotherapist of The Australian Ballet since 1997 and is an Adjunct Research Fellow at La Trobe University. Sue has presented at conferences around the world, and has received the La Trobe University Distinguished Alumni Award in 2018.
