The MOVEMENT Movement

On today's episode, I have my friend, Dr. Bryan C. Heiderscheit, PT, PhD. We will be exploring something interesting. One of the many things we'll be exploring is; Could you improve your running and get rid of your injuries by moving faster without running faster? I know that sounds crazy, but we'll jump in and find out how that works. I'm Steven Sashen from the movement movement podcast. You can find move@jointhemovementmovement.com or all the various places where you can think of where you'd find join The Movement Movement if you actually, if you go to jointhemovementmovement.com, you'll see Twitter and Facebook and youtube and iTunes and everywhere else, and this is a podcast for people who want to learn the truth about how to move healthily, happily strong, have healthy, happy, strong bodies, and to cut through the mythology that people have been propagating that might keep you from doing that.

Hi, Steven Sashen here, and in this video, you're going to learn how to pick a good running shoe. The information comes from, in large part, this paper from the American College of Sports Medicine. It's also coming from experience that I have, so I'll be adding my editorial, but most of this is coming from the ACSM and their recommendations. So, let's just jump right in. The ACSM says "Running shoes should be selected after careful consideration. With so many brands and styles of shoes on the marketing today, it is important to find the best fit for your feet and needs. There is no 'right shoe' that fits all runners. However, research and injury patterns have shown there are some general characteristics of a good, safe running shoe." Now, before we get started, I want to warn you that what you're about to learn flies completely in the face of what you will hear from most people trying to sell you running shoes. You go to your average running shoe store; they will tell you the exact opposite of what you're about to hear. Remember, this is research coming from the American College of Sports Medicine, not someone who has been paid to say certain things from a running shoe company. Some may argue, "But you own a shoe company…" Trust me, you'll hear the difference between what I'm saying and what someone who's being paid to say things that are the opposite of what the American College of Sports Medicine is saying. Here we go. Find us online, go to jointhemovementmovement.com. You can participate in the conversation there, or that will point you to the various social media channels where you can engage with us on Twitter, on Facebook, on Youtube, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

We all know the story of the boy who cried wolf, and at the end of the story, the villagers stopped running to find the nonexistent wolf, which didn't end up very well for the boy. Well, what if there was an industry that's been effectively and essentially crying wolf? The difference here is that every time they say, "if we keep running and we pull out our wallets and give them money to get the wolf, that isn't there." Well, that's what we're going to be talking about on today's episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, the podcast for people who want to know the truth about how to have a healthy, happy, strong body by doing what bodies are made to do, and that is move.

Over the years, I spent thousands of dollars on orthotics and inserts, that I put in my shoes to try to make my feet feel better, to make it more comfortable for me to walk and run, take stress off my ankles, my knees, my hips, and my back. Did they work? Let's find out. Welcome to The MOVEMENT Movement podcast, the podcast where you really want to know the truth about how to have a happy, healthy, strong body and to let your body do what it likes to do best, and that is move.

They hide the fact that they know it's bad for you. They even hide information that other people create about the fact that their product is bad for you, and what's actually good for you.
