You Don't Need Orthotics and Don't Have Plantar Fasciitis

– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 167 with Dr. Stephen Gangemi

Dr. Stephen Gangemi is the founder and creator of the natural health care method, Systems Health Care. He has been in practice since 1998 and opened the Systems Health Care office in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in June of 2018. Steve's practice utilizes various holistic methods to help return a person to health as quickly as possible. He has been trained in the fields of functional neurology, biochemistry, acupressure meridian therapies, applied kinesiology as well as dietary, exercise and lifestyle modification methods. If you could sum up in a few words the most apt definition perhaps would be "complementary medicine" or "holistic health care." Steve doesn't use the word "alternative" because for him, his family and for many of his patients, this type of health care is not alternative; it is the only one they follow. Conventional medicine is their alternative. It is there if/when they need it in times of crisis only. Therefore, the range of people who come to Steve include software engineers, professors, homeschooling moms and dads (and their kids), professional hockey players, dancers, and soccer players including athletes and coaches from both Duke and the University of North Carolina. Many of his patients also travel from other states or internationally to see him in his office.

Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Stephen Gangemi who dispels the myth of orthotics and plantar fasciitis.

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

- How orthotics are more harmful than they are helpful for most people.

- Why strengthening your core requires strengthening your feet and their connection to the ground.

- How there is no fascia on the bottom of your foot, and why that matters.

- Why your feet are a great reflection of your overall health.

- How feet adjust to barefoot running over time and get used to encountering the elements.
