Walking barefoot after years of being shod can be a challenging process. Muscles and joints need to restrengthen and realign, and it doesn't just happen overnight. Here is how we recommend to begin and continue the process so that transitioning is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
The foot is the most complex mechanical structure our body has. It constantly shifts between being a mobile adapter to a stiff lever with each step we take. It is capable of absorbing shock, and then recycling that shock into elastic energy. The basic components of the foot are laid out here.
Dates and locations of our workshops are coming soon!
