This is the audio recorded version of the Academy Webinar series. We host the Academy Webinar series online over Zoom every Wednesday for our Fitness & Wellness Professionals. One of the foundational concepts in human movement is that of energy transfer. During human locomotion, the energy transfer of one step into the next is directly related to the foot ground relationship. Join Podiatrist and Human Movement Specialist Dr Emily Splichal as she explores how our relationship with gravity directly impacts the quality and efficiency of our movement patterns. Learn how to enhance your relationship with gravity to make it your friend, not your foe. During this webinar, you'll learn how: 1. To define ground reaction forces and their relationship to gravity 2. To discuss how the neuromuscular system loads and unloads the energy of impact 3. To discuss how to optimize damping and transferring of impact forces 4. To define common impact-related injuries and how to address them through exercise
