The foot is your foundation. We take our feet for granted, day in and day out (unless they hurt for whatever reason). Did you know that the foot is a complex structure developed by fascia (connective tissue), composed of 33 joints, 26 bones, and more than 100 ligaments? Did you know that it is much more than a mechanical structure?

Yes! It is a powerful sensory structure. And why is that important?

It communicates to the brain and the rest of your body as a sensory structure. If you have any leg pain, back pain, hip pain, or even neck pain, you may wish to explore the health and balance of your feet.

During this episode of Light Warrior Radio, I interview Dr. Emily Splichal, Functional Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist, Creator of the Barefoot Training Specialist® Certification, CEO/Founder of Naboso Technology, and the author of Barefoot Strong. With over 22 years in the fitness industry, Dr. Splichal has dedicated her medical career to studying postural alignment and human movement related to barefoot science, foot-to-core integration, and sensory integration. 

Tune in to learn: 

  • How the foot is the gateway into our nervous system
  • The importance of muscle tuning (and why miscounting the number of stairs you're stepping down on may injure you)
  • Mechanoreceptors in your hands and feet and what that has to do with movement
  • Naboso insoles, with their tiny pyramids, help you achieve better nervous system communication
  • The fascial web with its 1 million nerves and the three keys to fascial health
  • Supplements for foot health
