You may have noticed that we have a minor obsession with feet
and the human-to-ground interface here at Kabuki Strength, and
today's guest is an expert in the field! Dr. Ray McClanahan is a
Podiatric Physician and Surgeon, who today runs his own practice -
NW Foot and Ankle -
right here in our hometown Portland, Oregon. For those not
familiar, podiatry is the branch of medicine devoted to the study,
diagnosis, and treatment of the foot, ankle, and related structure
of the leg. The good doctor is also the inventor of Correct Toes, which are
anatomical toe spacers designed to be worn either barefoot or
inside footwear - and here's the important part - while being
active.
Dr. Ray has loads of clinical experience dealing with foot/ankle
issues and provides us with valuable insight into his views on
barefoot training, the foot-to-ground connection, rooting during
loaded movement, issues with footwear, and other nuanced topics of
the sort. Our hosts had a great time bouncing concepts/ideas off
the mind of an incredibly talented MD like Dr. Ray.
We hope you enjoy!
