Unlock the Power of the Foot with Dr. Emily Splichal
Monday, January 9th - 12 PM Eastern
The foot is your foundation. We take our feet for granted, day in and day out (unless they hurt for whatever reason). But 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. So if you have any leg pain, back pain, hip pain, or even neck pain, you may wish to explore how healthy and balanced your feet are.
Monday’s Light Warrior Radio guest, Dr. Emily Splichal, Functional Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist, and author of Barefoot Strong, will explore how the foot is the gateway into our nervous system.
We will discuss Barefoot Science and you'll learn:
- 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 achieve better nervous system communication
- The fascial web with its 1 million nerves and the three keys to fascial health
- Supplements for foot health…and more!
