Paljasjalka Fysio, physiotherapist and TFC Pro
I teach people to walk better. Shoes and exercises are tools.
I'm a registered physiotherapist. I graduated from Saimaa University of Applied Sciences in 2010. I'm also a TFC Pro with The Foot Collective. Paljasjalka Fysio is Finnish for Barefoot Physio.
I write about how the body moves, and why. The feet are the starting point, from which we move on to walking and to the movement of the whole body. I unpack the mechanisms, so the shades of grey behind black-and-white claims become visible.
A shoe is a tool, not a miracle cure. I'm more interested in the person inside the shoes.
