Integrated Foot Strength Is Essential for Healthy Movement with Nic Simpson

This week's episode is with Nicholas Simpson, Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (BScKin), NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS). Nic has coached multiple medal-winning athletes and teams at the international & Olympic levels. In this interview, we discuss how important healthy feet are for our agility and athleticism. They are our primary interface with our environment and integrated foot strengthening is not commonly emphasized despite being a weak spot for most people who wear shoes all the time!The few foot strengthening protocols that are commonly practiced are ineffective because they look at the foot as separate from the integrated, whole body tensegrity system. In this interview, we cover surprising aspects of our foot design and its impact on movement health, including how the biodynamic architecture of our foot arches act as trampolines that are meant to recycle bounce in every step...and simple things to restore it!
