    Bone Stress Injuries in Runners Using Carbon Fiber Footwear (Patron Release)

    This podcast episode delves into a detailed review of a 2023 study examining bone stress injuries in runners using carbon fiber footwear. The host, drawing from their experience as a physio and running enthusiast, explores the paper's findings, highlighting biomechanical changes observed in runners using these shoes. These changes, such as altered cadence, longer steps, and increased ground reaction forces, are linked to potential risks of bone stress injuries, particularly focusing on navicular bone injuries.
    Five intriguing case studies of athletes experiencing midfoot pain after using carbon fiber shoes are analyzed, showcasing varying degrees of injury severity, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. These cases shed light on the challenges of diagnosing and treating these injuries effectively, emphasizing the importance of prompt medical attention.
    Throughout the episode, Brodie discusses the biomechanics of carbon fiber shoes, the impact on injury risk, and the intricacies of bone stress reactions versus stress fractures. They stress the extended healing timelines associated with navicular bone injuries, offering insights into diverse treatment approaches, ranging from non-weight bearing to surgical intervention.
    Overall, the podcast episode provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding bone stress injuries in runners using carbon fiber footwear, combining research insights with real-life case studies to help listeners navigate and potentially avoid these challenges.

OUTSTANDING

Trying to contain my enthusiasm about The Run Smarter Podcast but when you are separated from the hobby that you love because of an injury and find someone like Brodie Sharpe to help you recover for the long term there is much cause for celebration. This is the real deal for anyone who loves to run. Jim, Elon, NC

Best podcast for injured athletes!

I’m an aged competitor, a “hybrid athlete” as they say, an even amount of running and strength. Unfortunately a chronic running condition (Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy) has hampered my performance for years and ultimately sidelined me. After listening to Brodie’s podcast I felt like he was speaking directly to me! So much so that I hired him after undergoing bilateral PRP injection in both hamstring tendons. I’m confident he’ll get me back to doing what I love, Spartan and Hyrox competitions!
