Can Problems with Your Feet, Back or Hips be Caused by Your Toes?

– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 184 with Dr. Ray McClanahan

Dr. Ray McClanahan, DPM, designed Correct Toes help the foot rehabilitate from the negative effects of conventionally shaped footwear. The device, made of soft, flexible silicone, encourages the toes back into their natural alignment found at birth. With progressive and consistent use while active and weight bearing, toes align and feet strengthen, restoring your foot's original position and function.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Dr. Ray McClanahan about how problems with your feet, back, and hips can be caused by your toes.

Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show:

- How wearing minimalist shoes or going barefoot can alleviate or prevent various foot-related issues.

- Why it's important for runners to work on increasing their range of motion to promote healthier foot function.

- How the widest part of your foot should be your toes, not the ball of your foot.

- Why running shoes with a significant heel drop can shorted the Achilles tendon and affect muscle activation and overall foot function.

- How studies have shown that orthotics can weaken intrinsic foot muscles causing problems for the foot.
