Show Notes
Milica McDowell, DPT — clinic owner, professor, and now AVP of Education at USPH — joins Jimmy live from APTA CSM to make a bold claim:
Most PTs are recommending the wrong shoes.
In this episode:
- Why 10,000 steps is marketing, not medicine
- The real step counts tied to longevity and mental health
- Why tapered toe boxes weaken feet
- The concept of the “24-hour shoe clock”
- Why cushioned shoes in clinic may be a clinical liability
If you're a PT who cares about mobility, longevity, and biomechanics, this conversation matters.
Milica’s Core Message
Functional footwear is not a fashion preference.
It’s a biomechanical responsibility.
