Confessions of a Barefoot Podiatrist

– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 129 with Paul Thompson

Paul Thompson has been a podiatrist for 10 years, and despite having worn orthotics for most of his career, he kept getting aches, pains and started feeling old until he realized there was a better way. He’s tired of the over-prescription and over-reliance of orthotics in the industry and is on a mission to help people know there is a new (yet old) natural solution.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Paul Thompson about being a barefoot podiatrist.

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

- How natural movement and the benefits of being barefoot are not taught to prospective podiatrists.

- Why podiatrists should be more focused on helping patients than selling orthotics.

- How the joints in your foot are meant to move and traditional shoes prohibit that.

- Why minimalist shoes and being barefoot allows people to gain strength in their feet they didn’t have before.

- How simple strength exercises can have a great impact on your running form.
