Q&A: compartment pain/plyometrics post injury/PHT stride length/rotating pairs of shoes

In today's episode, Brodie answers four listener questions:

1.) I have been diagnosed with anterior compartment syndrome about 10+ years ago., the treatment options I was given were to change my shoes to something more supportive or fasciotomy surgery. In the past 2 months, it has flared up and is really painful. Do you have any tips and knowledge for me?

2.) What type of plyometric exercises would be good to start, especially when you are coming off an injury or several injuries. I am interested in hearing some basic exercises that you can start with and maybe a progression.

3.) Stride length is often impacted by PHT. What plyometric and end-range exercises would you recommend to try and get back to the previous stride length?

4.) When you are rotating pairs of shoes is it okay for them to have different stabilities. For example, I generally run in a more neutral shoe but I also have a stability shoe that will help correct over-pronation, just because they will help offload different parts of the body. So, I was wondering if it would be okay to rotate between both of them?
