Doctor provides tips on

squash dos

SQUASH HAS grown by leaps and bounds in
Canada and has replaced jogging in popularity among
men and women of all ages.

But, like jogging, it has its pitfalls, particularly with
regard to foot care.

Dr. Lloyd Nesbitt, a Toronto podiatrist, and presi-
dent of the Canadian Podiatric Sports Medicine
Academy, has some dos and don’ts for squash
players.

Among the dos:

®* spend some time doing stretching exercises before
your game.

* use proper squash shoes to prevent injuries. They
should have adequate cushioning at the ball of the
foot and should be designed for squash.

® powder your feet and your shoes. This will absorb
moisture, reduce friction and lessen the chance of
fungus infection. Convenient cool and drying foot

and don’ts

sprays are available.

© guard against feet friction, which lead to blisters.

© after sports activity check your feet for red spots,
which signal a developing blister and should be
covered with moleskin to prevent further irritation.

® blisters should be covered with vaseline and gauze.

© consider cushioned insoles. The twisting and turning
motions on the balls of the feet can create a lot of
shearing forces, inflammation, blistering or callouses.
Special density foam insoles are available that will
reduce friction and absorb shock and pressure to give
you more comfort and protection for your feet.

Dr. Nesbitt’s don’ts include:
e don’t try to play through pain. Increase the number
of games gradually.
e don’t take analgesic pills to mask pain.
© don’t attempt a 100 per cent workout ... after a full
meal; if you're just back from a layoff or injury.

DASH THROUGH THE SNOW!

MS35

The “M" stands for Mud. The “S"
stands for Snow. The Pirelli MS35
was designed to beat both—then
proven in Scandinavia and the U.S.

‘wy all the time, the MS35 behaves a lot
