Secrets to Keep Moving A Guide from a Podiatrist Volume 1

Dr Richard Blake is a podiatrist practicing in San Francisco, California. He is an athlete with a deep passion for teaching. He practices sports medicine principles from top competitors to beginning walkers. He has written numerous articles, lectured nationally and internationally, and lectures at a local school of podiatry. He invented the Inverted Orthotic Technique for flat feet used world wide. Dr Blake practices non-surgical podiatry, so the book emphasis is on conservative treatment of various foot, ankle, and lower leg complaints. He stresses general rules like creating a pain free environment for healing. He introduces the reader to podiatry through general principles and specific injuries with the goal of making the reader much more part of the doctor/patient/therapist team. Dr Blake has been practicing for 35 years, starting at the beginning of sports medicine. He tries to be true to the TEAM approach to injuries where each individual has a say in the process. He has worked with numerous professions in his attempt to treat these athletes, but limits this book to a unique blend of self care, podiatry, and physical therapy principles.
