Dr Emily

As a Doctor one of my favorite aspects of my job is educating and empowering patients to take their health and well-being into their own hands.

Most patient complaints could have been prevented if they had a little deeper understanding of the way in which the body moves, how forces are transferred upon foot strike and the importance of soft tissue recovery.

For the past several years Barefoot Strong has been a vision of mine. I wanted a means to further spread the message of foot health, barefoot science and from the ground up programming to professionals, patients, athletes, clients and consumers across the world.

After dedicating my Masters degree towards researching the science behind barefoot training and the power of neuromuscular activation from the ground up, my approach towards Podiatry, functional movement and patient care has not been the same.

Barefoot Beyond Running

Captivated by media and the minimal footwear industry, the word barefoot is often associated with running or minimal shoes.

However, when a person begins to explore and experience the power behind barefoot activation and foot to core integration, the application of barefoot far exceeds that of simply running.

It is my goal to share this powerful method for restoring movement, eliminating pain patterns and giving hope to those who thought impaired movement was an accepted part of their life.

It is time to take the word barefoot beyond running! Through Barefoot Strong it is my goal to teach the world how to become BAREFOOT STRONG!

Becoming Barefoot Strong

As I began to outline this book, I started to realized the deeper meaning behind the words BAREFOOT STRONG and what they meant to me.

I began to see that BAREFOOT STRONG means so much more than simply working out sans footwear.

To me, barefoot strong is a way of life.

It is a belief system of build on the foundation of respect for the human body and the way in which it was designed to control and create the beauty of movement.

To truly become BAREFOOT STRONG, I believe that one must:

Accept that the neuromuscular system is a deeply integrated network of joints, fascia, muscles and nerves which work together like a symphony providing the beauty we call human movement

Respect the foot as a kinematic structure serving as the foundation to all closed chain movements

Appreciate the sensitivity of the plantar proprioceptors and their role in maintaining balance, perceiving impact forces and stabilizing the lumbopelvic hip complex for human locomotion

Refuse to allow the continuous damping of neuromuscular input due to footwear and unnecessary orthotics but rather welcome the proprioceptive input from the ground on which we stand.

So what does BAREFOOT STRONG mean to you?

As the only contact point between the body and the ground, our feet play a critical role in the way in which our body controls and reacts to every upright movement.

With 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles and 107 ligaments the human foot is a fascinating and complex biomechanical structure. But the functional importance of the foot does not stop at pronation and supination.

With thousands of plantar receptors, the foot is also a proprioceptive-rich structure, containing thousands of small nerves that are sensitive to every subtle movement we make.

Our ability to walk, run or jump is all initiated through stimulation of these nerves on the bottom of the foot.

80% of our plantar proprioceptors are sensitive to vibration Nigg et al.

I remember when I was first applying to Podiatry School and the reactions I would get from friends and family. Feet? Why would you ever want to work with feet?

I used to feel embarrassed to tell strangers I was dedicating my career to one of the dirtiest, and often hidden, parts of the body.

However, as I began to learn more and more about the intricate biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the foot, I found myself becoming increasingly fascinated with my profession. I began to appreciate the foot for the work of art that it is and now it is my goal to share this passion with professionals across the world.

With a passion for human movement and internal association between movement and happiness, I began to see the foot as the gateway to our ability to experience the joy of movement.

Today, with every patient I treat it is my goal to empower them with the skills needed to maintain or restore movement at any age.

To fully tap into the skills of movement longevity there must be a deeper appreciation for the integrated function of the foot, as well as the power behind the barefoot.

The Foot, Our Foundation

Much awareness was brought to the power of the bare foot in 2009 when Chris McDougall released his New York Times Best Seller Born to Run. Coupled with the rise in minimal footwear such as Nike Free and Vibram FiveFingers, the barefoot running boom had coaches, runners and enthusiasts ready to learn about the importance of the plantar foot in human movement.

Considered one of the most proprioceptive rich areas of the human body, the plantar foot responds to and can actually anticipate every closed chain movement we do.

With small nerve receptors sensitive to stimuli such as texture, vibration, pressure and skin stretch, the skin on the bottom of the foot is unique when compared to skin on the top of the foot or the lower leg.

Although all skin of the human body is proprioceptive-rich, not all nerves are the same size or respond to stimuli at the same speed.

In the foot we have two sizes of nerves - small and large - with the smaller nerves being found in the bottom of the foot. Because of the smaller diameter these plantar nerves are able to send signals faster to the Central Nervous System, creating faster response times. We will explore this concept more in .
