In this episode you’ll learn:

What bunions really are — what’s structural, what’s functional, and what you can influence.

The root causes of plantar fasciitis and why it’s often more than “tight calves.”

How sensory stimulation changes foot mechanics and why waking up the small stabilizers of the foot is essential for healing.

Daily essentials for bunion care: proper foot alignment, toe spacing, intrinsic muscle engagement, and how to strengthen the foot without overloading it.

Daily essentials for plantar fasciitis: fascial release, surface variability, barefoot progression, and how to safely re-pattern gait to reduce strain on the heel and arch.

What surfaces you stand and move on matter — and how textured stimulation products (like Naboso) can support recovery and long-term foot health.
