Heel pain is super common amongst the community.
There are lots of structures in the heel that can give pain. The most common is plantar fasciitis. You have probably heard of it and chances are if you’ve got heel pain someone has told you that this is what it is.
Pain in the back of the heel is a common problem – especially amongst our youngsters who play sport as it is a typical growth related problem
It is even common for adults to get heel pain – the causes are not so much growth related and usually more related to wear and tear

We get asked all the time – whats the best way to warm up ? We are moving away from the idea of static stretching as a warm up and there is definitely no evidence to say that it prevents injury. Instead we are telling sports people to make sure their warm up is more dynamic in nature using the key movements that you would use during the actual sport you are playing. For soccer this involves jumping/landing/cutting and pivoting. For surfing this might involve squats or push ups.
FIFA’s Medical and Research Centre have developed a warm up program called FIFA 11+. The warm up program was designed for male and female soccer players over the age of 14 years old with the focus on injury prevention. Studies have shown that those players who performed the warm up program regularly (on average 1.5 times per week) reduced their risk of injury by up to 35%.
The FIFA 11+ program incorporates core strength, propioception (balance and body awareness) as well as plyometric drills with the main focus being on good postural alignment during the exercises. It is a simple program that can be used as a warm up at the start of each training session twice a week for approximately 20 minutes.
For more information check out the FIFA 11+ website
