In this episode of the Label Free Podcast, host Deanna Radulescu interviews Greg Stern, a chief foot officer and the owner of From the Ground Up Physiotherapy. Greg shares his personal journey of dealing with chronic pain after an ankle sprain that never healed properly. He discusses how traditional approaches to physiotherapy were not effective for him and how he had to take a deep dive into understanding his body and exploring unconventional therapies to find relief. Greg emphasizes the importance of addressing the root cause of pain and teaches his clients how to move their bodies in a holistic and functional way. He also discusses the benefits of natural footwear, such as the five finger shoes, in promoting proper foot movement and reducing pain. Greg shares success stories of clients who have experienced chronic pain for years and were able to find relief through his approach.
