The Body is Interconnected: How Your Foot Health Impacts All of Your Joints

Last Updated on November 22, 2024

Remember the song Dem Bones? You know, “The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone…the thigh bone’s connected to the hip bone…”

The lyrics of that song should be more than just a distant memory to you. As renowned functional podiatrist and founder of Naboso Dr. Emily Splichal explains, your body is interconnected.

“Every time we walk, there is stress going through the body. If you don’t have sufficient strength in the foot and the ankle, that stress has to go somewhere. It’s going to find a joint. It often goes one joint up, which means it would start to stress the knee,” Splichal explains.

Learn about the concept of transfer stress in this video above, and more importantly, the ways that we can improve our foot health with Naboso to benefit our entire health and wellbeing.
