Podcast naBOSo Walking, Movement and Health

In this podcast episode, we’ll talk about why our feet hurt, how pain is connected to the whole body, and how to find the real cause of problems rather than just masking symptoms.

In the new episode of the naBOSo mluVÍ podcast, you can listen to an interview with Edita Prošková, a physiotherapist and podologist who has long specialised in diagnosing and treating foot pain. Edita focuses on flat feet, hallux valgus, ankle valgus, heel spurs and posture issues linked to how the feet function.

Edita reveals that foot pain is often not just a problem of the feet themselves, but a reflection of issues elsewhere in the body. She explains how fascia connect the whole body and how pain in one area can affect parts far away — for example, how a caesarean-section scar can cause long-term issues, or how reflex points on the soles of the feet relate to the cervical spine.

Edita describes what an assessment in the clinic looks like and how to set up an individual therapy plan. She also highlights the importance of prevention and active therapy, and shares inspiring client stories of significant improvement thanks to the right approach. Expect a practical conversation packed with useful real-world insights.
