All movement starts with the foot and the foot affects everything... to understand how important these foot mechanics are and the role of not only strengthening the foot and ankle but the biomechanical positioning of the foot, proper shoes, orthotic therapy and working balance.
Ever wondered how important foot health is in sports? In this engaging episode of The Sports Doctor Radio Show, Dr. Robert Weil, a leading expert in sports podiatry, sheds light on the critical role of podiatry in sports medicine. He chats with Debra Slider, RN, a Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP) coordinator, and Michael McAleese, owner of the School of Holistic Massage and Reflexology.
Together, they explore how preventive care can stave off chronic illnesses and improve wound care, making a compelling case for why athletes should pay close attention to their feet. Dr. Weil also emphasizes the impact local governments can have on promoting foot health, particularly through school systems. The conversation touches on reflexology as a method for pain management and highlights the importance of core training and posture in athletic performance.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice and expert knowledge, making it a must-listen for athletes, coaches, and healthcare professionals alike.
