Help For Low Arches – North Adelaide Orthotics
Painful foot and ankle conditions arising from fallen or low arches is a common condition seen in our orthotic shop. North Adelaide Orthotics offer custom orthotic solutions for a range of painful problems throughout our local and surrounding Walkerville, Medindie, Bowden and Croydon communities.
What are Low Arches?
Low arches, also known as fallen arches or pes planus, are the most commonly presenting foot posture problem. The medial arch is the most important arch and is maintained by muscles, ligaments and also the arrangement of bones in your foot. This arch has several functions including operating as a foot stabiliser, and maintaining foot rigidity and the biomechanical alignment of your foot. Some people are born with low arches while others develop them later in life as a result of increased joint laxity, decreased muscle strength and ligament changes. Weight bearing activity on low arches will overload associated tissue and cause micro tears, inflammation, and significant pain in and around your feet. The most effective way to resolve this is by understanding the condition and addressing the underlying causes.
Causes of Low Arches
A thorough clinical examination is required to determine the cause of low arches as they often result from various complex issues.
The most common causes of low arches are:
- Congenital (you are born with them)
- Lower limb injuries
- Excessive weight or sudden weight gain
- Aging
- Long term activites which fatigue supportive tissues
Signs You May Have Low Arches
Low arches are initially detected visually. If you inspect your feet whilst seated and notice that the arch height changes when you stand, it is likely that you have low or fallen arches.
Other signs include:
- Pain in the feet, knees, hips or back when standing for extended periods
- Feet pointing outwards
- Uneven wear on shoes (wear to the inside greater)
Management of Low Arches
In order to successfully manage low arches, it is important to address the cause of the problem rather than simply managing the symptoms. Employing the latest technology and biomechanical assessment techniques, we are able to identify those tissues under excessive load allowing us to develop a comprehensive treatment plan to address your specific needs. Typically your plan will involve biomechanical correction, self-management strategies, and modalities that address any structural imbalance.
Treatment options for low arches include:
• Orthotics
• Soft tissue mobilisation
• Stretching and strengthening
• Weight loss
• Motion control running shoes
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Injection of corticosteroids
• Strapping
The majority of low arch cases are due to degenerative change (aging). If not addressed these changes will continue and lead to secondary complications both locally and further up the biomechanical chain.
Action Steps
To help improve your low arches and ensure that you get back to your best as quickly as possible, the following steps can be taken:
- Watch the self-assessment video and analyse your foot posture.
- Consider the causes of low arches above, and determine which may be relevant to your particular situation.
- Arrange a free lower limb biomechanical assessment (valued at $79). Simply click on the free gait analysis button below to download your free voucher and start addressing your pain today.

Hating on Psychic Sylvia Browne
Mouth Diarrhea
Image By: Mike Licht | Source Yo dudesI just caught the story about "Amanda Berry", a girl kidnapped for 10 years who was finally rescued recently (link). Its really nice to see someone stay alive so long and finally get fee, yet at the same time sucks that they were even kidnapped in the first place. Then there's someone called "Sylvia Browne" (website) who apparently is a self proclaimed psychic, who regularly appears (or appeared, I'm not sure) on the Montel Williams show to give psychic advice and readings to people.

My Typical "Lazy" Day
Mouth Diarrhea
Hey peeps!
So I'm basically just sitting here, feeling completely useless as usual, when it dawned on me - I'm a busy guy. Well I guess we already knew that. The point is that I often feel like I'm not getting very much done, despite feeling short on time all day long. My friend showed me an article about some new syndrome, roughly called "Busy Lifestyle Syndrome", which apparently makes you feel forgetful. Well hey... I'm really forgetful. lol. Okay anyway, I thought it might be fun to list the things I've done today, just for the sake of my own posterity. Keep in mind that today is one of those days I feel I've gotten nothing done. [...] |

Youtube Announces The Nominees For Best Video (Day 1)
Random Stuff
LOLIs anyone on Youtube today? They're doing their April Fool's joke today and its both ridiculous and hilarious. Basically everyone woke up this morning with a notification that all their uploaded videos were automatically nominated for some sort of 'Best Video' award. Now, youtube is live streaming two presenters going through stacks and stacks of cards, "announcing" the nominees - which are basically every single video on youtube. The gag is doubly hilarious because they're also using it as an excuse to read some of the most ridiculous youtube titles+descriptions available, completely pronouncing any misspellings, grammar/punctuation errors, smileys, run on sentences, or thoughts that simply stop before they're finished. They're reading everything in a totally deadpan/serious tone, which is making it even more enjoyable. [...] |

History Edit
Teo's home village was destroyed by a flood when he was still an infant. The natural disaster cost his mother her life and rendered him paraplegic (paralyzed from the waist down). Under the leadership of his father, the surviving villagers set out to search for a new home and stumbled upon the deserted Northern Air Temple, about ninety years after the Air Nomad Genocide. The mechanist created a glider for his son, a concept based on the Air Nomad gliders he had found in the temple. Due to this, Teo, otherwise bound to his wheelchair, was granted a new life in the sky, where his aerial acrobatics were the envy of all the other glider kids.[2]
After hearing a story about the "air walkers", Aang, Katara, and Sokka traveled to the Northern Air Temple in the hope of finding surviving Air Nomads. To his dismay, Aang noticed that the air walkers were merely gliding instead of airbending, commenting that they had no spirit. The statement was immediately contradicted by Teo, who flew closely overhead, laughing loudly and silently challenging Aang to fly with him. Under the encouragements of many spectators, the two children engaged in an aerial acrobatics contest, showing off their skill with loops and spins. To counter Aang's air scooter move along the side of the temple wall, Teo used a cylinder strapped to the back of his wheelchair to create a sky picture, depicting a sour-looking Aang, ending their bragging contest. Although disgruntled at first, Aang eventually remarked that even though Teo was not a born airbender, he definitely had the spirit of one.
Teo proudly toured the three friends around the temple to show them the many alterations his father made to the ancient settlement. After Aang openly showed his disapproval on the many "upgrades", Teo took Aang and Katara to an unblemished part of the temple, the hallway leading up to the Northern Air Temple sanctuary. On the way, he pointed out to the young airbender that even though the temple might be different, the creatures living there, like the hermit crabs, were likely direct descendants of the ones living there during the time of the Air Nomads. This prodded Aang to later realize that even though Teo and the other Earth Kingdom refugees were not born there, they had "found this empty shell and made it [their] home", drawing a comparison with the native hermit crabs. Aang eventually opened the airbending powered door to the sanctuary so they could explore inside. However, instead of finding secret Air Nomad relics, they found a secret storage room of the mechanist where he produced weaponry for the Fire Nation.
Resenting the thought that the mechanist aided the Fire Nation with his inventions, Teo and Aang confronted him, forcing him to break his arrangement with War Minister Qin. In retaliation, the Fire Nation launched an attack on the temple. In order to defend his new home, Teo, along with Aang, led the other gliders in an air-borne assault, dropping a wide variety of bombs on the troopers. They were eventually successful in driving away the advancing soldiers.[1]
Months later, Teo was part of the "ragtag team of friends and allies" which Sokka had summoned to take part in the modified invasion plan. Before the start of the Invasion of the Fire Nation, Teo offered Aang a new glider, which he had made with his father. During the invasion, Teo piloted one of the earthbending-powered tanks into battle.[3] After the destruction of the submarines in which they had arrived, the warriors realized the invasion had failed and decided to surrender. The adults were to remain behind while the youngest, namely Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Teo, The Duke, and Haru, escaped on Appa. Due to this, Teo and his father had to part ways. He hugged his father goodbye, telling him that he was really proud of him. The escapees traveled to the Western Air Temple.[4]
Struck by how different the Western Air Temple was from its northern counterpart, Teo quickly befriended The Duke and Haru, with whom he thoroughly explored the temple in search of secrets room, challenging "Duke" to a race. During one of these exploring expeditions, Teo rode down the Hall of Statues and injured himself due to malfunctioning brakes which he fixed later on.[5]
Teo remained with the group until Princess Azula attacked the Western Air Temple. During the assault, Toph and Haru created an earth tunnel through which the party was able to escape. Due to Appa's reluctance to enter the tunnel, Teo, Haru, The Duke, Hakoda, and Chit Sang parted from Team Avatar. While the latter escaped on Appa, facing Azula and her airships head on, Teo and the others escaped through the back, where a stolen airship was at their disposal for a safe getaway.[6]
At Zuko's coronation as the new Fire Lord, Teo was present and reunited with his father. He applauded and cheered as Zuko declared the Hundred Year War to be over.[7]
Personality Edit
Teo was kind and spirited; he loved nothing more than the freedom of flying his glider. He did enjoy showing off on occasion, and even tried to out-fly Aang when they first met, creating a picture out of smoke in the sky of Aang frowning. He was respectful of others, honest, and did not let his handicap get him down. Teo respected his father and understood why he acted as he did, though he was highly disappointed and angry when he learned that the mechanist had been making weapons for the Fire Nation.[1]
Abilities Edit
Flying Edit
Although Teo has not shown any physical fighting skills, he proved to be a very capable flyer, able to keep up with Aang in speed while performing several loops. He was capable of corkscrewing through the air while flying as well. Teo's skills were developed enough that he even demonstrated the ability of making images in the air. Despite his paralysis, Teo could operate his glider at relatively high speeds.
Other skills Edit
Teo has displayed some form of combat skills he had was with his glider, being able to accurately throw bombs while flying. Besides his glider, Teo has shown the ability to operate machinery, seeing how he operated an earthbending-powered tank before the eclipse.[3]

- Teo is also seen in the first Super Deformed Short, School Time Shipping, aiding Aang in his pursuit to ask Katara to the dance both more extravagantly and earlier than the other three suitors; Jet, Haru, and Zuko. Aang stood on the back of his glider to shape words in the air, while Teo whizzed around.

Bothell earns third win of the season | Prep girls basketball
January 27, 2013 · 9:40 AM
The Bothell High School girls basketball team earned its third in-league victory of the season Saturday night. The Cougars narrowly held on against Redmond 47-44 at home.
The two teams played a tight game during the first quarter, separated by just one basket. But Bothell took control of the contest during the second and third quarters, outscoring their opponents 27-18.
Redmond made a run during the fourth quarter, but Bothell found a way to hang on for the victory.
The Cougars were led by Erin Burns with 12 points and Melinda Akoto, but also found good teamwork as eight players scored for the squad.

. This model allows you to decrease summer humidity. The thermostat monitors humidity. When humidity increases, the thermostat runs the air conditioner longer to reduce humidity (up to 3�F below your cooling temperature setting). The intent is not to actually make the system reach the Relative Humidity setting; the intent is to make the home owner feel more "comfortable". This is done by moving the temperature set point down 1 degree for every 4% Relative Humidity.
