Podiatry: What We Learnt Then Vs What We Know Now w/ Andy Bryant & Rina Harris
Season #3
In this conversation, natural podiatrists Andy Bryant and Rina Harris discuss how their perspectives on podiatry have evolved over the past 20-25 years since their time in podiatry school. They reflect on the traditional teachings they received and how they now see things differently. They touch on topics such as the role of genetics in foot conditions, the emphasis on biomechanics and pronation, the belief that feet are inherently weak and need support, and the importance of foot shape and footwear. They also discuss the shift towards a more holistic and preventative approach to foot health, focusing on function and movement variability. They highlight the importance of considering the whole body and other factors that contribute to foot health, such as nutrition and lifestyle. They conclude by discussing the characteristics of a healthy foot and the importance of sensory awareness and foot strength.
