Yea, the picture is corny.
I loved that they didn't blame BFR for the injuries but blamed minshoes instead:
But injuries are rising with shoe sales, says podiatrist Marybeth Crane, a foot and ankle surgeon in North Texas. “I’d say that 85 percent of my patients get injured trying to transition to the new shoes.”
The problem for those trying it isn’t the shoes, though, but weak feet and
poor form, according to emerging research.
The statement that ticked me off was this one:
...newfound devotees are hobbling around with stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and neuromas in their toes.
Wait a minute! Aren't these the same injuries people in shoes are always going to their doctors for? Adding neuromas to the comment really makes me angry, since studies show that shoes are the number one cause of Morton's neuromas. I wanted to yell at the podiatriest, "We don't develop neuromas in our toes, you moron! We develop them in our feet between the mets. Act like you know something!"
I love the way these reporters/podiatrists count the numbers of patients they are seeing now due to the new way of running. BS! There aren't that many of us out there! They see more shod runners than they do barefoot or minimalist runners. I would like to know what the numbers of shoddies being seen are.
