𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 🚶🚶‍♀️ 

I can’t emphasize enough how important this is or how this topic changed the way I think about movement.  

Foot mechanics are VERY important but it’s pretty rare to see the sensory importance of the foot discussed.  

If you want to effectively modify your mechanics, you must FEEL your foundation.  

In the BTS Level 1 & 2 we’ll cover the sensory importance of the foot and help you understand just how critical all those nerves in the bottom of your feet are.  

And that just scratches the surface….. 

- Foot to Core Sequencing  
- Foot Anatomy & Biomechanics  
- Footwear Science 
- Gait Analysis  
- + more! 

Oct 25-27

Advance your understanding of the nervous system and how sensory stimulation shapes motor output in this all-new Neurosensory Specialist Certification by Naboso.⁣

The seemingly simple task of balancing on one leg or walking across the room is actually a complex, integrated, multi-sensory experience with stimulation coming from the eyes, ears, joints, and plantar foot. ⁣

Join Kinesiologist Stuart Wakefield as he explores the latest research on how sensory processing, multisensory integration and movement optimization can be used to optimize movement, performance and rehab.⁣

Topics include:⁣
- mechanoception vs. proprioception⁣
- exteroceptive sensory processing⁣
- the power of two-point discrimination⁣
- sensory conflict training⁣
- sensory stacking⁣
- sensory remapping⁣

One of my favourite new tools from , the Sensory Stick!⁣⁣

One of the most multi-functional tools I use on a day to day basis with my clients. From plantar foot releasing to enhancing sensory input via texture and gravity in the hand. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Want to get your hands (or feet) on a pair? DM for details!⁣⁣

I’m also VERY excited to announce that and have teamed up to create a new course that will be coming to Canada this fall! ⁣⁣

Are You Barefoot Strong?

The decision to become a Barefoot Training Specialist® is the first step towards joining our community of in-demand health and fitness professionals from around the world who have a solid understanding of foot function and barefoot science.

These courses are designed for all physiotherapists, kinesiologists, chiropractors, personal trainers and group fitness instructors.

With the foot as the foundation to human movement, many movement dysfunctions treated by movement specialists integrate the foot. By understanding and implementing barefoot science and from the ground up corrective exercise techniques, movement specialists will be able to confidently address all movement dysfunctions. Evidence supports corrective exercise techniques using barefoot training as a powerful aid for patients with ACL injuries, low back pain, ankle instability, SI joint dysfunction, hip labral injuries, and several other lower extremity difficulties. Explore how barefoot science can enhance the timing of muscle activation patterns and how this directly relates to the prevention of hip, knee, & foot injuries.
