Picking the right pair of running shoes can make or break your running technique.
In this latest episode of the Podchat Live podcast, Dr Chris Napier: Physiotherapist and Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia (and 2:33 marathoner) summarises his recent BJSM editorial on the logical fallacies in the running shoe debate, and we talk about how runners (both uninjured and injured) should choose shoes, what the evidence tells us (and doesn’t yet tell us), how much focus and attention running shoes seem to get (and whether this is warranted), and is it just all about comfort?
In this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast the team interviews Dr. C. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, who is a former Division with a passion for movement.
Shanté is the creator of The Movement Maestro, a website and social-media based platform devoted to all things human movement and mobility related.
In this episode they discuss issues critical for physiotherapists looking to build their practices including:
-The importance of understanding the why behind a goal before setting the goal
-Why boundaries are important to set before pursuing your goals
-How to bring human connection into social media
-Building a supportive community that will serve you

It is very rare for a TEDx talk to accumulate over 30 000 views in its first 48 hours but there is clearly an interest in the topic of access to healthcare at the moment.
In this talk, Dr. Harry Wilkins III explores exciting and titanic shifts in medicine and technology that will shape the future of rural healthcare delivery.
