Huge thank you to everyone who joined us in Christchurch and Auckland this weekend for the Best of SEPA NZ Roadshow: Trail Running Symposium, proudly sponsored by Footwork Podiatric Laboratory Go! 🌿🏃‍♂️💨

This was our very first time hosting SEPA symposia in New Zealand, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible support!✨

Massive thanks to Matt Clarke and Madeleine Murray for making the journey across the ditch to share their expertise. 👏🙏

A huge shoutout to our attendees for joining us at this important milestone in our history and for making the sessions so engaging.🌟

Special thanks to Footwork Podiatric Laboratory Go for sponsoring our event and ASICS NZ for sponsoring our speakers! 💜

Ever wondered why traditional taping and basic advice keep failing your blister-prone athletes? 👣🤔

In our latest episode of Sole Science, hosts Patrick Doan and John Charles sit down with Esperance-based podiatrist Rebecca Rushton (Blister Prevention) to dismantle long-standing misconceptions around blister causation and skin biomechanics!

From transforming a personal frustration with recurrent blisters into an international education hub, Rebecca shares how understanding shear dynamics can turn a neglected sub-niche into a clinical superpower. 🧠👣

Here’s a sneak peek of what we cover:

🔹 The Shear vs Rubbing Fallacy: Why targeted slip prevents skin damage

🔹 Location-Specific Biomechanics: Mechanical drivers behind toe clawing vs arch flattening

🔹 Material Science: Clinical application of PTFE patches, insoles and sock density

🔹 Refining Orthotic Design: Troubleshooting irritation and managing forefoot load

🔹 Ultra-Marathon Lessons: What multi-day endurance events reveal about skin fatigue

A huge thank you to Rebecca for joining us and generously sharing her decades of clinical insight and expertise. 🤝✨

Together, they unpack the complete orthotic ecosystem—from tissue loading and foot capture to the reality of chair-side 3D printing.

Here’s what’s inside the episode:

💡 Why true success is about shifting tissue load, not just chasing symptom relief
💡 Scope & Ownership: Why podiatrists must master orthotic therapy

We are proud to recognise and pay tribute to former SEPA Board President Adam Glascock (Newcastle Family & Sports Podiatry), who has formally resigned his membership ahead of his upcoming retirement from clinical practice this October. 💫

Over the years—first with AAPSM and later with SEPA—Adam has generously shared his time and expertise to champion sports podiatry. He was a major driving force in shaping SEPA into the organisation it is today.✨

Thank you, Adam, for your dedicated service to our community. We wish you the absolute best in your well-earned next chapter!💜
