Why Your Knee Pain Might Start in Your Feet | Dr. Alex Springer | Podcast Episode 20

What if the source of your knee, hip, or back pain isn't where it hurts at all?

In this episode, Dr. Emily talks with Dr. Alex Springer, a doctor of physical therapy, about how your feet, the foundation you stand on every day, affect the rest of your body.

You'll learn:

  • How foot health connects to knee, hip, and low back pain

  • How modern footwear can quietly weaken your feet

  • What to look for when choosing shoes, including barefoot options

  • Why physical therapy is often a smarter first step than imaging or surgery

  • Simple daily movements that build strength and help prevent falls

A practical look at a part of the body most of us never think about until it hurts.
