Blistering...
Blisters are the separation of the skin layers and the accumulation of serum between them.
Arch blisters are the most common primary blister complaint that presents at the clinic. Often these present in clients who have just returned to running and they usually have a goal in mind, such as competing in a ½ Marathon in 5 weeks time (or the like). Blisters can be very frustrating. Almost exclusively this arises from the position achieved by the foot in gait. Shearing stresses occur and the blister forms.
We can treat your blisters and by examining your gait we may be able to alter your running style to prevent blistering from occurring.
