Physical therapist, researcher, and runner Dr Jean-Francois Esculier, PT, PhD, from The Running Clinic and the University of British Columbia, is on a mission to help runners avoid injuries and perform well. Dr Esculier shares his views on choosing the right running shoes, including how he classifies shoes as minimalist or maximalist based on shoe weight, stack height, heel-to-toe drop, technology, and flexibility. We dive into the research on running shoes, changing a runner's gait, and how to apply the research in clinical practice. Physical therapist, runner, and JOSPT social media editor Paul Blazey asks the questions on today's episode.
