In this episode, Dr. Emily Splichal (check out our first podcast together here) and I discuss foot health, exploring techniques to relieve foot tension and improve circulation, including the use of percussive guns, vibration rollers, and Naboso's Neural Ball. Additionally, you'll discover the connection between breath, toe flexion, and engaging the pelvic floor for enhanced stability and strength. Dr. Splichal also addresses bunions (and their reversibility through exercise and selecting proper footwear!), covers the effectiveness of toe spacers for foot health, reveals the link between walking speed and longevity, and much more!
Dr. Emily Splichal, known as “The Movement Longevity Doc," is a functional podiatrist, a human movement specialist, and the founder of Naboso, a sensory-based product line designed to stimulate the nerves in the bottom of the feet to optimize foot awareness, foot strength, and foot recovery. She is also the author of the incredible book Barefoot Strong.
Functional and regenerative medicine and the role of anti-aging science, as it relates to movement longevity, are Dr. Splichal's passions. Currently enrolled in a Fellowship for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), Dr. Splichal offers prolotherapy, stem cell therapy, whole body vibration, Class IV lasers, dry needling, acupuncture, and vitamin supplementation as an integral part of her treatment protocol.
