TRINI: THANK YOU FOR TELLING
US ABOUT THAT.
BOTH 9 -- THE MARATHON AND HAPALUA
ARE WONDERFUL.
DOCTOR, TODAY WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TRAINING SAFELY.
WHATR SOME OF THE COMMON
PROBLEMS*THAT PEOPLE FACE WHEN
THEY'RE TRAINING FOR THE
MARATHON?
THANK YOU, TRINI.
SO UP TO 65% OF RUNNERS SUSTAIN
SOME SORT OF INJURY DURING THEIR
CAREER.
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS
INCLUDES PLAN PLANTAR FARRITIS AND
STRESS FACTORS.
TRINI: WHAT ARE THE WARNING
SIGNS?
FOR PLANTAR FARRITEIS, THE
FIRST STEP IS PROBABLY THE PAIN
ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEEL OR
BACK OF THE HEEL.
AS WELL AS AFTER SITTING DOWN
FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
IF YOU'RE SITTING ON THE CHAIR
OR COUCH FOR HALF AN HOUR AND
THAT FIRST STEP OUT, THAT'S THE
PROBLEMS THE FOR STRESS
FRACTURES, INCREASING PAIN IN
YOUR HEEL, SHIN, IN THE MIDDLE
FOOT WITH CONTINUED RUNNING ON A
DAILY, REPEATED BASIS.
TRINI: THE FOOT LOOKS SO MUCH
PRETTIER WITH SKIN ON IT.
THESE ARE JUST THE BONES.
TRINI: AND YOU BROUGHT THIS
HERE TODAY.
CAN YOU SHOW US HOW --
THE PLAN PLANTAR FACIITIS HELPS
THEM MAINTAIN THE ARCH.
IT HELPS WITH ABSORBING IMPACT
AS YOU'RE RUNNING.
AS WELL AS ATTACHMENT OF YOUR
ACHILLES' TENDON RIGHT HERE.
WHICH ARE TWO OF THE MORE COMMON
PROBLEMS WE SEE WITH RUNNERS.
TRINI: OKAY.
I KNOW THAT WE TALKED OFF CAMERA
ABOUT STRETCHING IS SO
IMPORTANT.
YEAH.
FOR THE TREATMENT OF THESE
PROBLEMS, FIRST AND FOREMOST IS
REST WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE YOU'RE
STARTING TO HAVE MORE OCCURRENCE
OF THESE SYMPTOMS.
TWO IS ICE PACK COMPRESSES AND
YOU CAN USE OVER THE COUNTER
PAIN CREAMS AND MEDICATION AS
WELL AS STRETCHING.
STRETCHING IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS.
TRINI: AND YOU'RE GOING TO
SHOW US SOME STRETCHES SO WE
DON'T GET INJURED.
YES.
TRINI: ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN MOVE HERE.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT.
TAKE OFF ONE OF YOUR SHOES.
TRINI: YOU DID WARN ME.
GOOD THING I GOT A PEDICURE.
CROSS YOUR FOOT HERE.
TRINI: THIS ONE?
THE OTHER ONE..
WITH THIS HAND, GRAB THE TOES
HERE.
AND PULL THAT ALL THE WAY BACK.
AND WITH YOUR OTHER HAND, PUSH
YOUR THUMB AND PUSH HARD FROM
THE HEEL TO THE BALL OF THE
TOES.
PUSH ALONG ALL THE WAY UP THE
ARCH.
LIKE THAT.
AND YOU FEEL THAT TIGHT BAND OF
TISSUE, THAT'S THE PLANTAR
FACIITIS.
EACH IS ONE.
DO TEN OF THOSE.
TRINI: DO YOU DO THIS BEFORE
YOU HAVE IT OVER AFTER?
AFTER YOU START TO REALIZE
YOU HAVE IT.
YOU DO THIS FIRST THING AFTER
YOU STEP OUT OF BED.
ONCE IN THE AFTERNOON AND ONCE
AT NIGHT.
ONE MORE STRETCH FOR THE
ACHILLES' HEN TON TENDON PROBLEM.
PUT YOUR HANDS OVER HERE.
NOW, SAY THAT YOU'RE HAVING
PROBLEMS WITH YOUR RIGHT HEEL.
STEP YOUR RIGHT HEEL BACK.
POINT YOUR RIGHT TOE TOWARDS
YOUR LEFT HEALING.
LOCK THIS.
BEND YOUR KNEE AND DRIVE YOUR
HIPS TOWARDS THE -- THAT'S GOING
TO STRETCH OUT THAT ACHILLES'
TENDON AND PULL ON THOSE TENSE
TISSUES.
TRINI: WE GET THE PICTURE BUT
THAT'S NOT A GOOD ANGLE FOR ME
ON CAMERA SO I'M GOING TO STOP
THAT AND TURN AROUND.
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME.
TODD, REMIND EVERYBODY WHERE
THEY CAN REGISTER.
A LOT OF RUNNERS HAVE THESE
INJURIES BUT DOES THAT MEAN THEY
SHUT NOT PARTICIPATE?
THEY SHOULD STOP OR ADDRESS THE
ISSUE?
ADDRESS IT AS MUCH AS YOU
CAN.
SO MANY PEOPLE WILL DEAL WITH
SOME SORT OF PAIN.
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AT SOME
POINT, BUT SIGN UP AT GOOGLE
HONOLULU MARATHON AND IT'S GOING
TO GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION
YOU NEED.
