As you know by now, as my genetics would have it, I am in a thin body.
What if I told you I had a sore knee, went to a specialist for treatment, and they told me, "sorry, I can't treat your knee until you lose some weight".
You would likely think, "wow... that's silly, you need to see a different specialist."
What if I told you I went to several specialists including my family doctor and my close friends and they all told me to lose weight to heal my knee pain?
It sounds pretty ridiculous now doesn't it? So why would it be any different for someone in a fat body?
Listen in on today's episode as I read an article by Ragen Chastain of Danceswithfat.org and discuss what you can do instead if you are experiencing unethical prescriptions like weight loss for joint pain.
Update on recommended footwear:
After chatting with a chiropodist, I've learned that there are 4 features to look for in a shoe for ultimate support:
1) Should be bendable in toe,
2) 2 Colour Sole (Dual Density)
3) Strong Heel Counter (if you squeeze heel it shouldn't pinch together easily, should be firm)
4) Torsional Rigidity (meaning it doesn't wring out like a wet washcloth, can twist a bit)
A few recommended running/walking shoe brands: Apex, Apis, Asics, Ecco, New Balance, Propet, Saucony (make sure it follows all 4 features), and Paradigm Medical runners.
