The Visceral Connections To Foot And Ankle Pain

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

On this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I’m still going deep into the foot and ankle but this time it’s all about connections to the viscera. Following up on last week's discussion about the role of nerves, this week I explore how referrals from the intestines and urogenital system can manifest as pain and dysfunction in your ankles and feet. You’ll hear specifics regarding lower leg regions you can’t forget about including the proximal tib-fib joint and how the LTAP™ can help you identify the root cause of your clients’ pain. Some other topics that you’ll hear are how hormonal changes, especially in women, can impact foot structure, and why a holistic, whole-body approach is key to achieving lasting results. There are tons of valuable resources mentioned in this episode that you won’t want to miss when it comes to treating the foot and ankle complex.
