2- Email from a Facebook Follower:
Hi there - I did a google search for “turned out foot” and came across your youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DE5VPxJOMU I have this issue but I don’t think it is from a weak glut (although possibly could be, not sure). In the text, it mentions “looking at another case” as well as more info about this on your blog but I’m having trouble finding it. could you refer me to the right page? Also, where are you located?
thanks for the informative blog!!- Kim

4- Updates and Sponsor talk:
A- more lectures available on www.onlineCE.com Go there and look up our lectures
B- In January we will be taking on sponsors for our podcast. We have had some interest already but we wanted to work out the quality control issues first. Early in means savings.
Contact us if you would like to be a sponsor……If we believe your product has value to this listener community we will give you a professional and personalized company or product plug and advertisment. From our lips to our listeners ears !
We will basically expose your product to our international fan base.
The sponsors will help make our mission possible, defray costs and time to put out this podcast and blog. These things take is away from our practices a little. Each week we will have 2 center-Stage sponsors . Your sponsorship can run as long as you want.
5- Mail from an International Follower of our Blog:
Hi there,
I was hoping you might settle a debate I had with a physiotherapist about the efficiency of movement.
I argued that a running gait is a more efficient way of moving over distance because of less vertical ground reactive forces acting on the body during a running gait. I concluded that our natural environment requires us to run rather than walk as predation of non-sebatious hominids gives us the advantage of stamina rather than explosive speed.
The counter argument was that walking generates less metabolic demand therefore increases efficiency of movement. But I don’t think this is true in terms of calories/mile.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! -Jesse, Luxumborg

6- EMAIL FROM A COACH:
Do all the running form clinics have value ? It seems that you can teach someone what they believe is better form, but what if they do not have the anatomy to embrace that form you have taught ? What if they are weak in that form, might they build a compensation in that new form ? It seems to me that merely adopting an apparently better running form does not necessarily mean one will be less injury prone.
-Thx Anonymous
TGG: midfoot strike, avoid heel strike.
Our beef is that No, not one, running form clinic we have seen talks about your anatomy such as"
- know your foot type
-know if you have tib torsion or torsional issues that will challenge patellar tracking and glute use (versions)
- know what your ankle rocker is like
- can you adopt forefoot strike ? midfoot strike?
- can you go into minimalism ? Ankle rocker ? (patient with fusion)

7- READER EMAIL:
My name is Robert and am retired from the Navy. I have chronic dorsal foot pain on my left foot and am tired of dealing with Podiatrists and Orthopedic doctors who just want to put you in orthotics. I no longer wear orthotics just the Prokinetic 6mm inserts. I have become extremely interested in your posts and would like to seek further help. I live in the upstate SC and my question is could you direct me to a doctor that utilizes your techniques and would be in close proximity to my location. I have some pretty interesting feet that I’ve ignored for far too long and am now paying the price. Just from watching your video’s I have multiple issues that I need to address, I just don’t know how. (Collapsed arch and Mallet Toe on left foot, Hammer Toes, Crossover Toe (No Bunion yet), Splayed 4th & 5th Meta on the right foot). I have Morton Foot Anatomy with 1st MPJ being about ½ inch shorter than 2nd meta. All this together with low back pain, neck pain, forward head posture, and I waddle when I walk. I’m really looking for someone to help me put it all together so I can figure out how to fix myself. Getting a lot harder to run around with my 10 year old boy. Any referrals or help would be greatly appreciated.

10 - Email from a Field Doctor
Hi guys,
Do you have any clever exercises for getting someone to initiate swing phase with abs instead of psoas?
I wanted to check and see if you had any suggestions.
Hope you’re well!
We withheld the name
OUR RESPONSE:
1- first trick is to make sure they can supinate the stance foot and initiate external rotation from lower in the stance leg
2- make sure all external rotators are available……otherwise the hip-pelvis and abdominals will not get the clean signal to prepare
3- look for any functional or anatomical limitations to #1 and #2……such as forefoot varus, valgus, sustained pronation issues, genu valgus etc……
4- seated marches…….. sit in neutral spine/neutral pelvis…..ie. neutral lordosis……sit on two points of ischeal tuberosities……..hands in front like frankenstein…….. press one foot into the ground while the other thigh is lifted…….this must be done on an exhale to help drop the ribcage…….be sure the lift leg thigh does not rock back the pelvis on that side or lose the lordosis. Doctor finger on the lordosis will queue them not to change spine angle……..if they do it right they will feel the lower abdominal fire first…….if they lose the pelvis or lordosis (ie. let them drop into lumbar kyphosis slump) they will only feel the hip flexor and quad lifting the leg which for most is easier but wrong
5- add challenge………put hands over head and repeat…..
6- pray :-)
