Foot Ankle Overuse Injuries Relate To Foot Strength With Tom Michaud

SHOW NOTES

Dr. Tom Michaud is the man when it comes to knowledge about the foot and ankle in the running world. I ordered his book, Human Locomotion, read some his articles and listened to some interview before reaching out for this interview. I was blown away by the clinical pearls he has stored in his mind. Literally endless amounts of knowledge!

If you’re a student, you should invest some money in his book… seriously, it’s light years ahead of most information you have learned about the foot and ankle.

If you’re an athlete, runner, dancer or strength coach you’ll still get something out of this interview since we make some light conversation between the study references. Take a deep breath, rewind a few sections that interest you and ask you medical provider about the concepts we cover in relationship to your ache/ pain.

I learned a ton during this conversation with Tom and plan on doing another chat with him soon (with or without a recording).

Thank you so much for your time and knowledge Tom!
