Description: Hey Heal Squad! When was the last time you REALLY thought about your feet? Today you will be thinking a lot about them, because functional podiatrist and human movement specialist Dr. Emily Splichal is here to reveal just how much the feet can affect the way the entire body moves and functions. From the shoes and socks we wear to toe spacers and barefoot workouts actually work...Dr. Emily breaks down what healthy feet should actually look like! She also explains the surprising connection between the feet, fascia, pelvic floor, core and even the tongue! PLUS, how we can  strengthen the tiny muscles in our feet and what to look for in healthier footwear. This episode will completely change the way you think about the foundation you stand on…no pun intended! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Give your toes room to do their job: Healthy toes are designed to be long, straight and spread  and footwear can affect their natural position and function. Your feet are connected to more than you think: The feet are part of a larger fascial and muscular system connecting upward through the body, including the pelvic floor and core. Don't just go barefoot, train your feet: Being barefoot creates more access to the feet, but intentionally engaging and strengthening them is key to building better foot function.
