1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Carrie Hall, PT, joins the podcast again to talk about her fascination with the feet. She talks about some of the changes to the foot that can occur during and after pregnancy, which for some women can include going up a shoe size. The foot can become longer and the arches can also change. Carrie discusses optimal foot function and how the combination of passive and dynamic mechanisms, including the 4 layers of muscles, allow for the appropriate amount of acceleration and deceleration with walking, activity and exercise. Carrie talks us through some practical exercises for focusing on the intrinsic muscles of the feet and outlines a number of further resources for diving further into the mechanisms of the feet. &amp;nbsp; The extra resources mentioned by Carrie in the podcast: Gait Happens&amp;nbsp; Peter Attia and Courtney Conley # 296.
