#25: Dr. Emily Splichal: How Functional Podiatry Can Help You Solve Foot Problems with Exercise

Rehab Science with Tom Walters

In today's episode, I talk with functional podiatrist, Dr. Emily Splichal, DPM. As a Podiatrist, Human Movement Specialist, and Global Leader in Barefoot Science and Rehabilitation, Dr. Splichal has developed a keen eye for movement dysfunction and neuromuscular control during gait.

Originally trained as a surgeon through Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City and Mt Vernon Hospital in Mt Vernon, NY, in 2017 Dr. Splichal put down her scalpel and shifted her practice to one that is built around functional and regenerative medicine.

Functional and regenerative medicine and the role of anti-aging science as it relates to movement longevity is where Dr. Splichal's passion is focused. Currently enrolled in a Fellowship for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), Dr. Splichal’s recommendations typically include PRP or stem cell therapy, photomodulation or red light therapy, dry needling or acupuncture, vitamin supplementation, sensory stimulation of the nervous system, fascial work and integrated exercises.

If you are seeking answers outside of the conventional recommendations of orthotics and surgery Dr. Splichal may be able to offer you an innovative, comprehensive treatment option that is built on the foundation of functional medicine and functional movement.

Her Functional Foot Programming stands out from any other Podiatrist and built around evidence-based principles in fascial fitness, foot to core sequencing, and barefoot stimulation.
