Skater is off the Ice after Suffering Foot Injury

Yuna KimAccording to Eurosport, figure skater Yuna Kim will need a 6 week recovery after injuring one of the metatarsals in her right foot. “During training Yuna felt a lot of pain in her right foot,” says a Korea Skating Union official.

“The diagnosis she received is that she would need around six weeks to recover and will also require physio after she returns.” The recovery time Kim will need will possibly force her to miss both grand prix events, reports KpopStarz. With Japanese rival Miki Ando returning, Kim’s dominance over the ice may be at risk.

Facing such an injury can be daunting, but with proper care returning to sports and activities is not impossible. Receiving treatment from a chiropodist such as  Marz Hardy of Academy Foot and Orthotics Clinics could help  you manage your injury as well as provide solutions for how to get back into the sports you enjoy.

Getting Back into Sports after Foot and Ankle Injuries

Sprained ankles are a frustrating and painful ordeal many athletes go through. Recovery from a sprained ankle usually involves the RICE method. This includes:

  • Rest
  • Ice
  • Compression
  • Elevation

In addition, athletes should consider wearing an ankle brace in order to keep the ankle stabilized and alleviate any pain as it heals.

Stress fractures that occur in the foot and ankle come in two types. This includes stable and displaced. Stable stress fractures do not consist of any shifting in bone alignment while displaced stress fractures involve bone ends that do not line up.
