Episode 244: A Podiatrist That Actually Endorses High Heels?

As a Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist, and Global Leader in Barefoot Science and Rehabilitation, Dr. Emily Splichal has developed a keen eye for movement dysfunction and neuromuscular control during gait.

Originally trained as a surgeon through Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City and Mt Vernon Hospital in Mt Vernon, NY, in 2017 Dr. Splichal put down her scalpel and shifted her practice to one that is built around functional and regenerative medicine.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Emily Splichal about the truth about orthotics.

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

- How functional podiatry emphasizes the connection between movement and foot function while using a holistic approach to foot health.

- Why orthotics should be used for healing purposes instead of indefinitely.

- How expensive orthotics aren't necessarily superior to off-the-shelf options, especially when treating plantar fasciitis.

- Why podiatrists face challenges in integrating natural movement into patient treatment protocols.

- How foot foundation awareness is crucial for balanced posture and gait.
