Sarah competes internationally in the Heptathlon event. Athletics is a gruelling sport where the athlete uses only a lightweight spike to protect the foot.
Bigfoot have been managing Sarah for many years and were initially consulted for difficult stress fractures to the bones in the foot. These developed from the repetitive high impacts during athletic training and racing. We were able to unload the injured sites with modifications to her racing and jumping spikes which we review each year. Along with assisting Sarah with shoe selection for warm ups, and warm downs we have customised an orthotic for these shoes to keep her training uninjured so she can then compete at international level.
Sarah reached the pinnacle of her sporting career representing NZ at the 2012 Olympics. She will focus on high jump and is aiming for Gold at the 2014 Glasgow Commonweath Games. Good Luck Sarah! Sarah has now retired from international sport but continues to inspire a new generation of athletes and leaders.
