Dr. Brian Fullem literally wrote the book on healthy feet and ankles for runners. He joins us for a special holiday gift to discuss his wisdom and accumulated knowledge from years of research and practice... sharing healthy running practices such as injury prevention and treatment, as well as perspective on core strength, balance, form and shoes. He is Board certified in Foot Surgery with specialization in tendon injuries & plantar fasciitis, including the use of Extracorporeal Shock Wave therapy.
Dr. Fullem practiced in Connecticut for over 20 years before moving to Florida to start his solo practice at Elite Sports Podiatry. While in CT, Dr Fullem served as the Team Podiatrist for the Yale University Track team and Sacred Heart University Athletic Department. Dr Fullem also co-founded The Running Academy camp for HS runners. Dr Fullem definitely shows his passion for teaching & treating athletes in this interview. He also frequently lectures nationally on these subjects and is published extensively in medical journals and for national running magazines. His own book, “A Runners Guide to Healthy Feet and Ankles” is available at most book stores online, or at his own practice.
