Lolly Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 Not sure where to put this really! I heard an interesting radio programme last night (called Case Notes) about feet, on BBC Radio 4. It discussed a lot of foot problems such as plantar fascitis, bunions, tendonitis etc which might be of interest to dancers, although I thought it was strange they didn't mention dancers once - the podiatrist mainly worked with footballers! The main advice given was to wear appropriate fitting shoes - they said something like, "your feet aren't narrow and pointed so don't put them into narrow pointy shoes!" I think they were referring to fashion rather than pointe shoes however... Anyway, it is repeated on the radio this afternoon at 4.30pm, but you can also use the "listen again" feature on the BBC website and download the 30 minute programme.
