Barefoot Strong: Foot To Core Sequencing, Barefoot Shoes, & How Barefoot Training Can Enhance Movement Longevity.

Research demonstrates that the anti-aging market is growing at a compound rate of 7.8% between 2013-2019 and a total market value above $281 billion. Whether it be fasting, bouillon, supplements, cold showers, or many of the other lifestyle and dietary changes now known to improve the functioning of your body, the anti aging market is becoming ever more popular as people continue to seek ways to improve their health.

Our guest on today's podcast is passionate about anti aging medicine but believes a key focus of anti aging medicine should be focussed on movement longevity. ‘You want your brain young, you want your skin young, you want to think young, but you also want to move young and a linchpin of movement longevity is keeping your feet strong and keeping your feet connected to your core’. In her book Barefoot Strong: Unlock the Secrets to Movement Longevity Dr Splichal explores the science behind barefoot training and this growing area of health and fitness is the secret to youthful movement.

Dr Splichal is a podiatrist, human movement specialist and global leader in barefoot science rehabilitation. She’s the founder of the Evidence Based Fitness Academy, creator of the Barefoot Training Specialist, Barefoot Rx, & Bare Workout certifications and inventor of Naboso technology. With over 16 years in the fitness industry, Dr Splichal has dedicated her medical career towards studying postural alignment and human movement as it relates to barefoot science, foot to core integration and from the ground up training.

In this episode Dr Splichal and I discuss movement from the ground up. We dig into the growing barefoot movement, discuss the different foot types such as flat feet, and identify how foot health can influence back pain. From barefoot activation exercises and barefoot shoes to nutritional advice to support the protection of peripheral nerves this episode will give you insights, and actions, to improve foot health and enhance your movement longevity.

 

Some of the things you’ll discover…

 

• How the approach to medicine is shifting with a focus on preventative care & empower patients to help themselves

 

• You can’t rely on orthotics for foot health, you need to take an active approach to recovery & ensure the deep core muscles are engaged, whilst connected with the feet

 

• What are the different foot types and subclasses of those foot types and how can they impact the body

 

• How practitioners should be working in collaboration where necessary to help resolve your pain/injury

 

• There are both biomechanical, and sensory, considerations that must be made in relation to the feet and their influence on back pain

 

• A strong foot, or a strong core, in isolation does not offer any functional benefit, there has to be a connection between the two

 

• Shoes create a disconnect between nervous system and the ground so keeping sensory stimulation of the feet a part of your daily routine to offset some of the disconnect that happens from modern day shoes
