Today I went back to my foot Doctor, I was kind of down because my
foot had started hurting again and I was just wanting to run again with
no pain.
Perry Julien is my foot doctor and he is probably one of the best
there is, I lifted the following from the Atlanta Foot & Ankle
Center website, I hope they don’t mind.
For the 1996 Summer Olympic Games Dr. Julien was chosen to
coordinate podiatry services in the Olympic Village Polyclinic and to
serve as medical administrator for the Olympic Marathons and Racewalks.
He is the co-medical director for the Peachtree Road Race and Atlanta
Marathon and was also the medical coordinator for the Women’s United
Soccer Association (WUSA) and assistant team physician for the Atlanta
Beat. He is currently the team podiatrist for the Atlanta Thrashers
professional hockey team and the Atlanta Falcons professional football
team as well as consulting podiatrist for several Georgia collegiate
athletic programs.
Orthotic after adjustment, extra lift on heel
Hope this gel works.
To say the least, I trust his opinion on my
foot. He adjusted my orthotics today and gave me a prescription for an
anti-inflammatory gel. I have another appointment in about 4 weeks, we
will see how it goes.
I told him I wanted to run Peachtree this year and he said that he saw no reason that I couldn’t, which was good news.
Just Keep Moving!
