Barefoot Walking

There are many medical and movement perspectives on barefoot walking. The idea of walking or running barefoot is both a new and old concept depending upon where you live.
In the western world, many people believe that protecting and cushioning the feet will bring about greater comfort and health.

However, in some parts of the world including India, China, and Mexico, many people believe going barefoot is actually beneficial. This is how many people in these countries maintain healthy feet as they do great amounts of movement/work each day to live.

A new wave of barefooters and research is challenging the western medical establishment. Based on this, Lisa Ann utilizes barefoot running and walking as complementary healing tools. As a physical therapist and movement specialist, Lisa Ann incorporates barefoot walking and wogging into her Body Balance Method. Even Fox New is featuring Lisa Ann and the benefits of barefoot running!
