This book was recommended to me by a co-worker and it got me through my first half marathon. I still use it as a reference. I've since gifted it to several friends who also run.

An absolute must read for runners 5 out of 5 stars.

I so wish I had this book when I just started running! It should have helped me prevent so many painful experiences as well as bills from physiotherapy... This book covers everything from choosing the correct shoes and injury preventing techniques to diagnosing and treating foot and leg injuries. The writer seemed very knowledgeable and he certainly helped me. With his simple advices I can run long distances again without pain and I couldn't do it in almost a year! I had no idea there are so many things that need attention when running safely. Think all runners need this knowledge.

Thumbs up. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is the book to have on how to keep your feet, knees, and any other body parts working as well as they can. Great diagnosis on whatever ails you as a runner. Timeless and still universally useful regardless of how old the book is. This is my second copy in the last 15 or so years.

In contrast to "Master Techniques in Orthopaedic Surgery: The Foot and Ankle" this volume actually does contain some master techniques. Buy This one and not "that" one.

Odyssey magazine April 2007 issue by Natalia Baker 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Ann Gadd has brilliantly explored the body/mind relationship between feet and our innermost selves in this book. The content re-discovers what has been ignored over centuries, yet was known in ancient cultures and by the wise. Gadd's aim is to enable us to become more conscious of ourselves and others, empower ourselves to be responsible for our own healing and release and make changes where appropriate. The first section shows how our feet reflect our souls based on the Finonacci Scale, the seven chakras on the feet, developing a relationship with our feet, and general observations on foot and toe shapes. The second section comprises a comprehensive A-Z of aspects of the feet, including amputated toes, sprains, fungus problems, bunions and much more. Each enrty is meticulously explored. The section on shoes includes insights into why we wear certain types of shoes and the meaning of their colours. Gadd concisely supports her research and findings with interesting case studies. A most enjoyable, informative book for anyone wanting more self-knowledge and personal growth.
Natalia Baker

Editorial Review:

Key issues and ailments are listed for each particular aspect of the foot, along with further explanations and case histories—including overall shape, shoes, broken nails, calluses, footprints, and bunions. The format and illustrations allow for quick reference as well as in-depth insight when required.

Editorial Review:

Prepared by two leading experts in musculoskeletal ultrasound and a well-known podiatrist, this atlas is a complete guide to the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of foot and ankle disorders. More than 160 illustrations display both normal ultrasound anatomy and a variety of common (and some uncommon) pathologic states. For each region of the foot and ankle, the atlas shows normal ultrasound anatomy and appearances of specific disorders. The authors compare the utility of ultrasound and MRI, particularly in detecting soft tissue injuries and foreign bodies. A chapter on ultrasound-guided therapeutic injections and diagnostic aspirations is also included.
