Next week Narelle will be wearing two hats - presenting our AnatomiCore prototypes for feedback from our colleagues AND presenting for SEPA. It’s going to be busy!

Come along to the MSK Workshop by SEPA at the Australian Podiatry Conference on Saturday 28 June from 10am.

You will learn how to assess, educate and rehab your patients using some awesome tools from our trade displays with Dr. Narelle Wyndow, podiatrist, researcher, and People & Culture Director at Sports and Exercise Podiatry Australia.

Get excited to learn:

✔️ How plantar pressure tools can help with assessment, education (patients love it!), and strength training

✔️ The impact of specialised OA footwear (think: rearfoot vs forefoot rockers)

✔️ How electrical stimulation & TENS can help build strength and reduce pain

You’ll walk away with at least one clinical gem that’ll change how you practice.

Your brain holds detailed maps that control movement.

These maps are shaped by the information coming in from your body — especially your feet. The more accurate and consistent that input, the more precise the brain’s instructions back out to your muscles.

That means your footwear matters.
Shoes that offer clear boundaries and rich sensory feedback can help refine and reinforce your brain’s sensorimotor maps — leading to better movement, balance, and control.

Our Xelero range (& soon our Anatomica sandals) reinforce a stable forward flow of your movement. Perfect if you are struggling to move well with an injury or chronic condition.

Come check out our shoes next time you are in town 😍
