If talking about feet mechanics gets you excited, I’ve got an absolute belter for you here. Aaron joins me for a third time on the show to discuss how to manage foot issues and address common lower body problems. We cover:

  • The effectiveness of orthotics, how they work and where they fit it to a foot rehab strategy
  • What’s going on when someone is experiencing shin splits or plantar fasciitis 
  • How an active foot stance impacts hip muscle recruitment
  • Running styles, footwear and walking mechanics
  • Useful things to do movement wise whilst you have more time on your hands
