The 3 problems (not 2) solved by boot and crutches
About this episode
I'm not going to tell you that any runner should want to use crutches. I'm also not going to tell you that you will enjoy wearing a fracture walking boot.
But there are reasons that you may want to do things a little differently if you're a runner.
The critical issue is that runners must really try to speed up the healing process as much as possible, so that you can avoid losing your running fitness.
What are the three time-sensitive problems solved when you use a fracture walking boot and crutches at the same time?
Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast!
