When you think of healing do you consider your body’s hierarchy of needs?

If we are not considering all of the systems and the body as a whole, we are not serving our clients very well. Once the body feels safe, it will begin to heal.

I always say, “the body leaves clues”.

The unspoken truth about saddle sores using my experience as a criterium racer, professional bike fitter, working alongside other racers, physical therapist and root cause practitioner…

The feet are the foundation on which we stand. Supporting our bony and soft tissue structure should be a priority.

There are 26 bones and 33 joints in the foot and ankle that are all made to bend and move upon one another. When you stiffen one portion (because your big toe has become a bunion or you add a hard and rigid insole), another part of your body will pay the price due to compensatory strategies. Your arch was made to support your hip and knee structure and alignment. Make sure you are in the right hands with a physical therapist helps you address the whole body (holistically).

‘Tis the season for foot pain… coincidence, I think not.

There are a few things you can do to help avoid plantar fasciitis (bottom of the foot pain) and achilles tendon inflammation.
