How to Stay Pain Free with The Foot Collective | Feel Better Live More Podcast

Have you ever thought about how important our feet are? And how they're connected to so many other parts of our bodies? This week's podcast is with Nick and Mike from ‘The Foot Collective’, a group of Canadian physical therapists on a mission to help humans reclaim strong, functional and pain-free feet through foot health education.
The feet are an often neglected part of our body. If you’re experiencing hip, knee or back pain, your feet may be the cause. Nick and Mike explain that although there are many ailments that many of us just write off as something that we just have, or that we've inherited, in actual fact, there may be something we can do to improve these conditions. The truth is, that while we might have a genetic susceptibility, our environment and our lifestyles also determine what happens to our bodies.
In our modern lives, we create an imbalance in our bodies by sitting too much and this can expose us to risk of injury. The Foot Collective give some brilliant tips on what we can do to avoid this. We also discuss orthotics and the damaging effects of wearing narrow shoes which squash our feet and talk about how we can help restore our feet to their natural state. After experiencing back pain for years, I found working on my feet made a huge difference. I hope you find this podcast helps you!

Am going through all of Rangans podcasts and i am hooked! this podcast has inspired me to buy some Vivo barefoot shoes to see if they can make a difference to my back issues and generally feel better. Have started doing the exercises in the 4 pillar plan and am sitting on the floor rather than the sofa writing this...

22:40 when he's talking about exercise being a risk factor for injury: sums up my adolescence/entering 20 years old. I used to run all the time as well as be sitting all the time. Injured my hip flexor during track in 11th grade and reinjured during a season (and only season) of cross country in college when doing cardio kickboxing, sitting, and then speed days and long runs after classes. Sad it may seem, but it made me realize the need for stretching/strengthening, although still working on now after a few years. bird dog exercise and ankle/deep squat mobility in combination with listening to this is a highlight of my morning. :D

This was great! Something I've been trying to express with dynamic but safe yoga, loved the simple breakdowns. Loved!

Where can I find out Gary, the guy who helped you overcome your back pain? Great podcast with the guys for tfc.

My ankle foot orthotics are worth their weight in gold....all of my doctors agree. But I live with the neuromuscular disease Charcot Marie Tooth and have had deformed feet and ankles all of my life. They do have their place in managing foot care, and I hope you realize that.
