Give your child as much barefoot time as possible.

And if you need to wear shoes, my option is a flexible ZERO drop shoe (read: with no heel lift).

Keeping the nature in us, as we are nature 👣🙏

Athletes,

If at any point you’re standing on a bosu ball and using the ball of your sport executing “sport specific movements” with your coach…

Giannis Antetokounmpo was upset when asked if the Bucks failed this season.

"Michael Jordan played 15 years, won 6 championships. The other 9 years were a failure?"

"50 years from 1971 to 2021 that we didn't win a championship was 50 years of failure?"

The front view of the human foot can be seen as analogous to a Formula 1 car. Built for both speed and stability.

Very odd in pro sports how the foot is overlooked with teams and programs.

Make understanding foot 🦶 function a priority for 2023.

@downgerd @NBTiller @jb_morin @SkeptInquirer @CraigLiebenson @Doctor_Legs How do you know? The same principle stands for people who start barefoot running NOW. You need to respect the time to transition to barefoot running. Now and also 10 years ago. If I would suddenly start a new load without any preparation, injury is also possible to occur…

@NBTiller @jb_morin @SkeptInquirer You always want to see the bigger picture here 🙏 @CraigLiebenson @Doctor_Legs

[Anton Ghys | The Barefoot Physiotherapist @AntonGhys]

@NBTiller @jb_morin @SkeptInquirer you changed shoes. Your feet will not strengthen just by wearing the shoes. For every different load, the body will need progressive loading (strengthening) over time. If you don’t do this, injury will occur. “The load is not the problem, it’s the load you’re not prepared for” /2

Don’t ask how people are doing,
ask how they are sleeping.
You’ll learn a lot more.

Most people have a sand deficit.

We evolved along coastlines, gathering food, including the all-important shellfish—source of iodine, DHA, protein, manganese, zinc, and copper.

That alone is sufficient reason to spend more time on sand, but there's also more.

Now put off your shoes and socks if you're too hot and thank me later.

[Anton Ghys | The Barefoot Physiotherapist @AntonGhys]

Why you need to go barefoot when the days are hotter?

Since shoes are isolaters from the thermal point of view, they prevent heat flow from going to the ground through them and provoking higher heating within the body.
