Should I Run?

It's the runners' and hikers' season now. Some of our clients are going to take part in Oxfam Trail-walkers and other running and trail events. We wish them all the successes.

I do not run or participate in any such kind of event; yet, I'm a serious medic for those event. There're several condition that could put them to rest or even end up early "retirement". Luckily most of such problems are preventable with proper measures. Those problems are;

Inadequate training and conditioning;
- Weak thigh muscles
- Faulty movement in knee joint / knee cap
- Casual practicipation
Wrong equipment;
- Blister and callus formation
- Improper ankle / knee protection
- WRONG SHOES

If you encounter any of the conditions above, don't run at the risks - contact your physio and doctors before getting back on the tracks.


The Basic is sponsoring and supporting a team for Trail-walkers this year. Should your team need our supports, please contact us through email.
