About this episode
Let me ask you to read 4 words and see how they land on you.
Skinny, weak, atrophy, neglect.
As a runner, would you want any of those words used to describe you?
When the fat pad cushion between the bones and the skin under the heel or the ball of the foot gets thinner, doctors call it “atrophy.” But don’t take it as an insult.
What really causes more atrophy of the fat pad cushion under the ball the foot in runners…inactivity, or too much activity?
Well, that’s what we are talking about today on the Doc On the Run Podcast!
