Hiking and Foot Health with Morgan Brosnihan | Helping You Prevent Injury

Listen Later
Today we welcome our wonderful guest, Morgan Brosnihan, who has been a physical therapist for 6 years and is passionate about helping her patients make progress to keep doing what they love. She is currently living the van life, so she’s always on the move and going all over the place on adventures and half of what she does is by telehealth. We discuss many of the reasons hikers and athletes injure their feet, such as wearing the wrong size shoes and not letting your toes spread out, which can cause issues and eventually injury.

“Even flexibility is improved by full range of motion strength training, it will make you more flexible than just stretching. So if you do deep squats with weight, you’ll have more flexible hips than if you pigeon all day long.” 26:55
