Can Toe Length Predict Longevity? with Dr Emily Splichal

Stronger toes = stronger future. 👣 New research published in the Journal of Applied Biomechanics found: ✔️ Stronger toe flexors = greater 6-minute walking distance ✔️ Shorter heels = faster preferred walking speed Translation? Your toes aren’t passive. They are propulsion engines. The intrinsic muscles of the foot help: • Generate push-off power • Stiffen the MTP joint • Improve walking economy • Support endurance And walking endurance is strongly linked to aerobic fitness, independence, and longevity. What’s even more interesting? Muscle size didn’t predict performance. Functional strength did. As a functional #podiatrist and founder of @naboso_technology I believe the foot is the gateway to the nervous system and the foundation of movement longevity. This research reinforces what we teach every day: Train your feet. Train your propulsion. Train your health span. Because walking isn’t just movement — It’s a vital sign.
