The Foot Bones Connected to the Hip Bone

On this week’s episode of The Dance Docs I am joined by Jay DIcharry PT out of Oregon. While Jay may be known in the running community for his book Running Rewired, he has spent plenty of time working with dancers, and has an in-depth knowledge of lower extremity kinematics. He helps to paint an understanding of how the foot and hip function together and can independently work as drivers of the lower limb, we dive into the spiraling needed for the lower extremity and why the correction of lifting your arches could be locking up a dancer's ability to move freely. I loved my conversation with Jay and I hope that you do too!
