Can I run in zero drop shoes after plantar plate sprain heals?
About this episode
I was just on a call with a runner who had a plantar plate injury that has been bothering him for about a year and a half.
We did a series of calls to talk about some changes in his treatment that could get him moving in the right direction.
He asked me a great question when I was on a call with him this morning.
He said:
“Can I run in zero drop shoes once it is really healed? Not today, but like when it is really, really healed and it is stronger and all that kind of stuff.”
I said, “You can do whatever you want, you just have to be willing to pay the consequences.”
Can I run in zero drop shoes after a plantar plate sprain heals?
Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
