Say GOODBYE to Blisters!

ATI PT
       
    From weekend warrior to professional player almost all soccer players have experienced blisters at some point in their playing career.  The best way to deal with blisters is preventing them altogether. 

            When preventing blisters, the first item to consider is the shoe itself.  First, each athlete should have properly fitting shoes.  Generally there should be a minimum of ½ inch from the big toe to the end of the shoe, which is usually not a problem for soccer players who often desire a snug fit, to increase their touch on the ball.  Ensuring proper fit will decrease excess movement of the foot which will create friction.   If the shoe is made from synthetic material there is no way to "break in" the shoe before use.  If the shoe is made from leather there are a few different tricks to help "break in" the shoe blisterbefore use.  Keep in mind that generally all leather shoes will be more expensive than shoes made of synthetic material.  Regardless of shoe type there are a few things that can be done to prevent blisters.  First you may rub mink oil or other shoe care lotion into your shoes them wear them for a few days. You may also stuff your shoes with paper overnight once covered with lotion to stretch them if rubbing occurs.
 Blisters will occur in areas of high friction, where the foot and toes will rub on socks or shoes causing a blister. Each athlete should pay attention to their feet, specifically where "hot spots" typically occur because every athlete is different.  As a rule of thumb, start with wearing two pair of socks (a thin under layer under a soccer sock generally works well).  If there is still some irritation, using a lubricant such as petroleum jelly on and around the "hot spots" can decrease friction and blister formation.  Lastly, maintaining calluses is also important in preventing blisters.  Calluses should not be excessive but constant removal of calluses will expose the new skin underneath and increase the likelihood of a blister forming in that spot.

            When a blister does occur follow these few simple steps to allow for the quickest, pain free resolution of the blister.  First, the blister may be drained by a medical professional.  Generally they leave the skin in tact.  This can be done by using a sterile needle or pin and piercing a small hole near the bottom of the blister to allow it to drain.  The blister should then be covered with gauze or a band aid to prevent infection.  Typically, by keeping the blister covered during activity the athlete can prevent increased friction and irritation to the area.  Choose a band aid or tape that will have the least amount of friction in the shoe to allow for maximum comfort.  By visiting a Licensed Athletic Trainer, the athlete can utilize different types of tape and other products which will further increase comfort during activity and healing time overall.  If blisters are a reoccurring problem, consider switching shoe brands or consulting with a Licensed Athletic Trainer who can better assist you in choosing the proper footwear.

Ghostly Pumpkin Pudding  From Food Network Kitchens

hallown recp
Enter the WSC photo contest for a chance to win free merchandise! 
Ingredients
Pudding:
1 package gelatin
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks (reserve 2 whites for topping)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree

Topping:
2 large egg whites
1/3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch fine salt
Small candy, for eyes

For pudding:

Directions
Put 1 tablespoon of cold water in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface, do not stir, and set aside until gelatins softens and blooms
Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a stand mixer's bowl above the water. Whisk milk, sugar, yolks, cinnamon and salt in a heat-proof bowl. Set the bowl above the boiling water and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula, until mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon and almost boils, 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the gelatin, whisking constantly until gelatin is completely dissolved and evenly distributed. Whisk in pumpkin until combined and completely smooth.
Evenly divide mixture into 12 small 3-ounce cups (paper works fine) and refrigerate until set, about 4 to 8 hours.

For topping:
Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold a stand mixer's bowl above the water. Whisk the 2 egg whites, sugar, cream of tarter, and salt in the bowl by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and continue whisking until the mixture is hot to the touch and the sugar dissolves, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer bowl to mixer and beat with the whisk attachment at medium-high speed until eggs hold a stiff peak, about 5 minutes.
Spoon topping onto puddings in the shape of a ghost. Decorate with candy eyes and refrigerate until ready to serve.


Strengthen Your Pelvicfloor pelvic Floor Musclestri-motion
 
As a follow up to last month's article, this month I would like to introduce you to some exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.  Kegels were initially taught by telling people to stop the flow of urine by tightening the pelvic muscles.  People were instructed to perform Kegels hundreds of times a day.  These exercises did help some improve incontinence but often people were unsure if they were doing the exercises correctly.
 
As research on how the pelvic floor muscles function has progressed, the exercise recommendations have changed.  When the pelvic anatomy was looked at more closely, it was discovered the pelvic floor muscles were supported by muscles that extended from the pelvis out to the leg - specifically the inner thigh/adductor muscles and the hip rotators/obturator internus muscles.  When triggering these muscles, you can help activate the pelvic floor muscles and strengthen them.
 
One of the leading experts in pelvic health, Janet A Hulme MA PT, has developed a program called Beyond Kegels, which has been shown to be more beneficial than traditional Kegels.  At Tri-Motion Rehab, we use these exercises as part of our Pelvic Health Program with great success, along with manual therapy and biofeedback. 
 
I would like to share two exercises for you to try.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding your bladder or bowel, please do not try these until you have been checked out by a physical therapist.  You will need two pieces of equipment that you most likely have lying around the house:  a small 7-9" ball (think soccer ball) and a belt.
 
Inner Thigh Squeeze:  sit in a chair and place the ball between your knees, roll your knees in against the ball and hold for a count of 10.  Follow this by relaxing your muscles for 10 seconds. 
 
Hip Roll-Outs:  sit in a chair and wrap the belt around your legs just above the knees.  Roll your knees out against the belt and hold for a count of 10.  Follow this by relaxing your muscles for 10 seconds.
 
Keep your breathing nice and even as you do these exercises.  Your abdominals and buttocks should be relaxed and you can actively engage the pelvic floor muscles during the working phase of the exercise.  Work your way up to 5-10 repetitions for each of these exercises and perform them 2-3 times a day.  The relaxation component is just as important as the contraction phase so do not short the time for relaxing.
 
See how these work for you!  Give us a call if you have any questions or concerns.
Yours in Health,
