Basically all this post is about is making aware of a new (for some) form of treatment/analysis.

Had an injury now for about 2 years, don't like to go on about it but love to train over it...went to doctors today to be wired up to this gait/pressure machine, circuit board insoles are placed in running shoes to measure stress on certain parts of the foot and a 3D image is made, showing muscle imbalance and points of over use...pronation/stress/over pronation,

What I am trying to get across is, if you've got a "career changing" injury like me ....request this method...

P.S "but love to train over it" no it hasn't made it worse as I was trial-ing insoles from podiatrist,but still felt pain..

Agreed, the only problem is swapping the othotics that you are given from your hi-techs to your boots. Can be quite time consuming when you only have a few minutes to get back out side and formed up.

Well as yet I haven't had the pleasure of having to change rigs at speed, but I believe you can ask for a few pairs made for this reason, on being asked how long this machine has been around I was told about 17 years.....nice that I've only been f*&ked for 2 now

Good post smudger, how much was it?

[smudger289]

Free, NHS...like I said, had to wait a bit for it, but hey..if it works it'll be worth it, just a shame I've had to bear the pain, part of the game though I suppose.

I'd say get 2 pair minimum, even 3 if you want make sure your your not effing about between your drill boots, pt trainers or normal boots (I got done alot because of this lol)
