Where should my skate blade align with my foot?

Blade alignment can impact balance, edge control, comfort, and overall performance on the ice.

In this demonstration, Dr. Lai shows how he evaluates blade positioning and why even small alignment changes can make a difference.

For many skaters, better performance starts from the ground up.

Why do my ice skates feel uneven?

For hockey players and figure skaters alike, blade alignment can have a major impact on balance, control, power, and comfort on the ice.

In this demonstration, Dr. Lai shows one of the tests used to evaluate how the foot interacts with the skate and whether blade alignment may be affecting performance.

Sometimes improving your skating starts with understanding what is happening beneath your feet.

Did you know some foods do more than just provide nutrition?

Soybeans contain compounds called phytoestrogens, which have been studied for their potential role in supporting overall health and helping the body maintain balance.

Here in Rochester, we take a whole body approach to foot and ankle health because what you eat can influence inflammation, recovery, and how your body functions over time.

Healthy movement starts with supporting your body from the inside out.

Did you know the way you land from a jump can reveal important clues about how your body moves?

Researchers studying gait retraining often looked at how young athletes landed after jumping. Did their knees stay parallel, or did they collapse inward?

These movement patterns can affect how force travels through the feet, ankles, knees, and hips over time.

Here in Rochester, we pay close attention to biomechanics because sometimes the source of pain or dysfunction starts with how the body moves long before symptoms appear.

Are you getting enough sleep... or just enough hours in bed?

Quality sleep is one of the most important tools your body has for recovery, inflammation management, and overall health. Dr. Lai recommends aiming for around 7 hours of quality sleep each night.

Here in Rochester, we often discuss how foot and ankle pain is connected to the whole body. Poor sleep can affect recovery, increase inflammation, and make everyday aches and pains feel worse.

Better movement starts with better recovery.

Is osteoarthritis really just a part of getting older?

Age can be a factor, but it is not always the root cause.

Movement patterns, inflammation, lifestyle habits, and how your joints are loaded over time may all play a role in how osteoarthritis develops and progresses.

Here in Rochester, we look beyond age and focus on the bigger picture because understanding the root cause is the first step toward better long term joint health.
