Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:
- How viewing our bodies as mechanical objects is limiting and doesn't fully capture the complexity of biomechanics.
- Why the traditional approach of using rigid orthotics for foot support during recovery does not align with the goal of promoting natural movement.
- How the foot is designed to bend and move making ridged orthotics unnecessary.
- Why losing the connection to your feet can result in a rigid walking pattern.
- How assessing foot mobility can reveal restrictions in other parts of the body that must be addressed for optimal foot function.
