Emily Splichal explains how foot pain signals a broken relationship with gravity that affects your pelvic floor and entire myofascial system. She recommends weighted vests, compression gear, and specialized mats to rebuild that connection, and uses kangaroos as an example of how efficient movement stores energy in the Achilles tendon.
These are people who have diffuse foot pain, and they say, it hurts nowhere, but the whole bottom of my foot just hurts. I can't stand. That's telling me that they have a broken relationship with gravity in their feet, in their pelvic floor, and in their entire myofascial system. We have to connect and say hello to gravity, which is a lift. I'm all about efficiency. So I would say, wear your weighted vest with your compression apparel, be on a naboso mat, and have something in your hand, and then do your breath or your meditation. Kangaroos are studied as an example of very efficient movers, of how they are able to tap into their tendon, their Achilles tendon, essentially, to very much demonstrate peak elastic recoil. You have to have a relationship with gravity that's at our core. What shapes our muscles, our nervous system, our bone density.
