- How her career began in Forensic Science and transitioned into Podiatry and Human Movements
- Treatment biases
- Regenerative medicine
- Using your degree from a different perspective
- Evidence-Based Fitness Academy - EBFA Global
- The problem with making polar comments
- The real concept of barefoot running and heel-strike
- How to make your day-to-day podiatry work more interesting
Patient Expectations
You got to be honest with your patients and give them realistic outcomes and timelines.
You must let them know that if they've been moving in a compensated way for twenty years they cannot expect you to do one thing and BOOM, everything goes away, that's not realistic.
"Forever be a student and keep learning, look for resources outside of our profession. Go beyond podiatry mainstream, broaden your scope, and then bring it back and apply it to podiatry and continuously evolve". - Dr Emily Splichal
