Hey there,

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or ideas on this case study.
I am currently treating a 21 year old female who is a competitive highland dancer. She is extremely hypermobile! Abnormal subtalar joint pronation is extreme.
She has a previous history of achilles tendonitis and now currently has shin splints. She is currently taking time out from her dancing with a hope to return in the future.
I have managed to provide her with an orthotic providing her with adequate correction which she wears all the time. She was also advised ice, rest, NSAIDs etc. Her symptoms had greatly improved until she decided to back to dancing. The shin splints began to creep back!
Her sports therapist has provided her with a strapping technique which aims to limit pronation but this has so far been unsuccessful!
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of adapting flimsy dance shoes to provide more support? Adding valgus domes? Or if anyone had ever used some sort of ankle support?
I look forward to hearing your suggestions!
Many thanks, Nikki
