Default Interesting review of Dr. Nigg's new book

Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads
I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I came across an interesting review of Dr. Nigg's new book. It is a little dramatic to say the least, but most podiatrists who know their biomechanics already know these truths which are so dramatically proclaimed.

Kelsey:

This is the same guy, Michael Niremberg, who has called himself "America's Podiatrist" and that has also "invented" a new method of walking, Flo-Walking, which he claims has some amazing health benefits.

Here is a real classy quote from Niremberg's article on Benno Nigg: "In fact, I imagine that Nigg spends more time thinking about biomechanics than a 17 year old boy spends thinking about sex."

Incredible!

That is funny. Someone calling themselves "america's podiatrist" surely has a cred problem right from the start!

Doubtful.
