5 essential practices for health professionals who work with the lower extremity:
1) Mindset education
Thinking long term, focusing on removing unnatural inputs first then adding natural inputs, being consistent and patient, understanding that pain is a teacher not an enemy, 1% better everyday is the objective
2) Movement education
Less time sitting in chairs, more time walking and on the ground, the body requires varied movement everyday
3) Footwear education
Eliminate shoes that damage your feet and mess up your posture, spend time barefoot and wear natural footwear when your feet need protection (foot shaped, flat, flexible, thin sole, fixed to your foot)
4) Pain education
Pain is an adaptive signal that must be listened to, pain isn’t the enemy and shouldn’t be muted, pain is the most powerful feedback that guides correct action
5) Movement screening
Single leg balance for 60 seconds, sit to stand no hands, resting squat position
If you don’t apply these in your practice, you are not upholding a reasonable standard of care and you are not being as effective as you could be
