"THE SKIN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOT IS PACKED WITH SENSORY NERVES THAT ASSESS, INTERPRET AND ANTICIPATE THE IMPACT FORCES OF DYNAMIC MOVEMENT."
- DR EMILY SPLICHAL
LIFE IS SENSORY
From the moment we are born we are brought into an world that is filled with sensory stimulation. From the palms of our hands to the soles of our feet, our nervous system is designed to process this vibration, textural and emotional environment to create the beauty we call human movement.
Every child, every client, every patient deserves to experience their full potential by optimizing human performance through the marriage of Brain. Breath. Barefoot.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND INTENTIONAL FOOT ACTIVATION
The dust has settled.
Gone are the days of viral debates and forums on the benefits vs. risks of barefoot running. Newspapers such as the New York Times have shifted their focus away from ripping into minimalist shoes and Vibram's lawsuit is "old news".
With no more talk about barefoot running - does this mean that benefits of "barefoot" cease to exist?
Far from so!
It is finally time to shift the direct association made between the words "barefoot" and "barefoot running". People still think that EBFA's Education is centered on "barefoot running" despite the Certifications being called Barefoot Training Specialist® and Barefoot RX®.
It is time to expand our minds - set aside pre-conceptions and images of people running on concrete with shoes - and take a moment to understand and experience the power of training barefoot.
For those who are yet to experience the power of the plantar foot, your life and your movements will forever be changed.
