570 WSYR am RADIO Reverse Osteoporosis / Muscle Mass Throughout The Lifetime On YOUR HEALTH MATTERS

This episode aired on 5/19/24 on News Radio 570 WSYR.

Listen and learn from functional podiatrist / movement specialist extraorinairre, Dr. Emily Splichal about the important relationship betweem Walking Speed and Longevity.

Walking Speed: The Sixth Vital Sign
Dr. Emily Splichal opened our eyes to the fact that walking speed is considered the "sixth vital sign." It's a critical indicator of our health, and a decrease in walking pace as we age can be a predictor of morbidity and mortality. This isn't just about how fast you can move; it's about the quality of your gait and movement. Walking speed has profound implications for cognitive protection, circulatory function, and joint health.

The Triad of Walking Speed: Balance, Energy Transfer, and Foot Progression
To maintain an optimal walking speed, Dr. Splichal highlighted three key factors: balance, energy transfer, and foot progression. These elements are the pillars that support our ability to walk efficiently and with ease. Without them, our mobility can suffer, leading to a slower pace and potentially increased health risks.

The Clinic's Approach to Longevity
In our longevity-based clinic, we focus on helping individuals live longer and better lives. Whether it's pain management, balance, strength, or muscle health, we utilize top-end medical devices like the Power Plate to achieve therapeutic effects. This machine is particularly popular in our clinic due to its benefits, especially when combined with nervosa vibration therapy.

The Importance of Toe Flexor Strength
Dr. Splichal brought to light an often-neglected aspect of balance and walking speed: toe flexor strength. Weakness in this area can lead to decreased balance, slower walking speed, and a higher risk of falls. She recommended using toe spacers to improve toe alignment and strength, as well as exercises like the "short foot" to strengthen the muscles.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Affecting Balance
We also discussed the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can cause falls and affect balance. Extrinsic factors include environmental obstacles or inappropriate footwear, while intrinsic factors might involve medical conditions like neuropathy or vision impairment. Understanding these can help us improve balance and prevent falls.

Gratitude and Future Conversations
As our episode came to a close, I expressed my gratitude to Dr. Splichal for her invaluable insights and for being a forward-thinking leader in the field. Her expertise has taught me so much over the years, and I'm eager to continue learning from her in future episodes.

A Call to Action: Support and Contact
I encouraged my listeners to support my endeavor with Muscle and Fitness magazine and reminded them that they can always reach out to me for assistance in their health and wellness journey. My commitment to sharing knowledge and promoting longevity remains steadfast.

Disclaimer and Closing Thoughts
As always, the content shared on the show is for general information purposes only, and it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your health regimen.

Thank you for tuning in, and I hope this blog post has provided you with valuable insights into the importance of walking speed and overall wellness. Remember, every step counts towards a healthier, longer life. Until next time, keep moving forward!
