Video Tutorial #97 On Your Feet All Day? Fatigued? Achy? Over Pronation? I Recommend Footwear with Extended Medial Counters
Today i'm going to talk about shoes, specifically counters. A counter will help you stabilize or maintain your heel in a safe range in the rolling from supination to pronation. When your foot lands on the ground it starts on the outside and it rolls to the inside and springs off. If it starts too far to the outside then it could cause twisting of the leg. If it rolls too far to the inside then it could also cause twisting of the leg. Neither one is good. Twisting of the leg is not good, especially when the average person takes 10,000 steps a day or 3.6 million steps per year. What combats this is a group of muscles that I call 'The Spring Suspension System Muscles." These muscles are located on the side of the foot going up. So when the foot lands on the ground these muscles gage the rolling and they don't allow your foot to roll over too far they hold the foot from over rolling. (the tibialis posterior and the tibialis anterior … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial # 99 What Is The Best Way To Lace Your Shoes?
Today i'm going to talk about how to lace a shoe. That might sound kind of strange because most of them are already laced when you get them. You might think the company laces them correctly when you get them but that is not always true. I have a tricky way of lacing shoes that will make them fit perfectly, snug and make the shoe a better support mechanism when you need it. What we have here is a Drew shoe and it has a lacing system that starts over the top. When you lace the shoe from over the top it doesn't allow the leather strapping mechanism to come together so easy when you go over the top on the first lacing. 1. What I do is change that and from the start lace the shoe from underneath. (pictured above) So the first lacing and all of the lacing come from underneath and over. 2. The second thing you might notice is an option or a loop on the top of the shoe. I recommend that you never, ever put that lace through that loop. The … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #80 Dr James Stoxen DC Demonstrates How To Self-Help Deep Tissue Treatment Of The Subtalar Joint Of The Ankle On The Inside.
What the Human Spring Theory says is that the body absorbs impacts by way of its engineering. One of the most important ways the body absorbs impacts and translates the mass across the limbs during walking, running and other movements is through the "moving" joints. The joints of the human body has spring-like qualities when they are working correctly. Think of the body as a spring with seven floors’ of springs interconnected though the body, running from toes to the head. Ankle joint #1 is the second floor of what I call the human spring. It is one of the most commonly effected joints of the human spring. The seven floors of the Human Spring: Floor One: The arch of the foot or the master spring Floor Two: Ankle joint #1 – (subtalar joint) Floor Three: Ankle joint #2 – (ankle mortise) Floor Four: The knee Floor Five: The Hip Floor Six: The Spine Floor Seven: The Spine-Skull The subtalar joint is made up of the joints that connect four bones: the … [Read More...]
Why Do I Run Barefoot…
Dr Stoxen, How Did You Discover the Human Spring Model and Why Do You Run Barefoot? When I first opened my practice, I wanted to be able to heal people and, at the same time, train sports champions. I went on a personal and professional mission not to only build a complete knowledge of the human body - the way we move and why - but to uncover the secrets of elite performance. My first decade in practice, I volunteered to treat athletes at every possible sports event, including 50 national and international championships. I traveled to the former Soviet Union to study plyometrics and plyometric training (high impact training drills that enhance the effects of traditional resistance exercises). I also observed elite track and road training as well as competitions around the world. The athletes benefited from the on - site treatments and at the same time I was learning the secrets of how to achieve elite level performance from the best doctors, coaches and … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #9 The Human Spring Approach In It’s Relationship To Hooke’s Law Of Physics
We can apply some of the laws of engineering and physics such as Hooke's Law Of Physics which states: The deeper that the spring is depressed the more energy it recycles back to the run, jog, walk or spring. Hooke's Law of spring engineering states that we can push the human spring to its limits to maximize its potential energy as long as we don’t exceed the elastic limit of the spring or the yield point. Hooke's law of elasticity is an approximation that states that the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the forces added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit. That is the trick! When we jump down, gravity exerts a loading force on the spring of the body. When we land, forces are loaded into the human spring. Remember that the force of the landing and the bodyweight with the speed of landing, determine the external forces of the landing. Newtons Law of Physics F = M x A Mass of your body (no real … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #85 Dr James Stoxen DC Demonstrates Stretching Great For Mortons Neuromas And Narrow Heels
note: please allow video to load, then click start for smoother viewing The Human Spring Mechanism is important for walking, jogging, running and movement of any kind. The Human Spring protects you from the impacts of the landings. By preserving the Human Spring we protect ourselves from those impacts. The Human Spring also recycles energy. To explain this further think of a spring. It changes it's physical shape during the spring down or deformation process, stores energy and then releases or recycles that energy back to the body. The human foot does that as well. It stores the energy in the elastic bands of the muscles in the leg as well as through the arch of the foot itself during the planting of the foot and push-off. What we will try to do is release that spring so it can be more effective. I am going to demonstrated how you can stretch your toes. You can do this everyday especially when you get home from walking all day in high heel shoes. First you grab … [Read More...]
The Ed Coan Story – What I Learned from the Strongest Man in the World
In 1986, I graduated from Chiropractic College, a year and a half early at 24 years of age. I was one of the youngest graduates in the college. In fact my father recommended that I grow facial hair as I did not look old enough to be a doctor. My very first patient was Ed Coan. I thought that something greater was taking care of me because when someone gets into the medical field to do sports medicine and the first patient that walks in the door is pound for pound the strongest man in the world someone somewhere is looking out for me. Ed Coan has been described as "the greatest powerlifter in the history of the sport" and the "powerlifting equivalent of Michael Jordan." I learned so much from him and I believe he learned a lot from me. Ed Coan has set over seventy world records in powerlifting. He became the lightest person to cross the 2,400 lb. barrier in the powerlifting total a sum of three lifts: The deadlift The bench The … [Read More...]
Rare Backstage Video Of Anthony Field Ab Training On A Flying Trapeze
Dr James Stoxen DC and Wiggle's, Anthony Field training backstage. Rosemont Theater, Chicago IL, 2009 Strengthening: Back in 2004, Anthony didn’t have a structured exercise routine. He needed to lose some weight and he certainly had to find a way to work out and eat a healthier diet, but he didn’t know where to start. The Anthony Field, Circus-Playground Training Routine: Anthony had the same excuses that many other people had with a few more that most of us could not understand. He couldn’t just walk into a fitness center and mix in with the locals without getting hounded for autographs or questions about something wiggly. He did not like to go to gyms and disliked weight training and working out on machines. He claimed he did not have the time. That is what people say when it's not that important to them right now. He was also aprehensive in working out without re-injuring his back. This is common for someone who had suffered chronic pain for 25 … [Read More...]

Video Tutorial #157a What Is Foot Pronation And Foot Supination? Is It Good Or Bad?
The body’s weight is absorbed In two very interesting ways: 1. Foot Roll When the foot first lands, it rolls, distributing the weight across the foot over a time so it is absorbed gradually in a healthy way without causing shock to the skeleton. The foot rolls from supination (the outside) to pronation (the inside). This is called the Foot Roll In order for the foot to land safely without damaging the body, it must roll within a safe range. That means if the foot starts rolling too far on the outside or rolls too far to the inside, it causes the twisting of the lower leg limb. This twisting force will cause abnormal stress and strain through the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the knee, hip, ankle, lower back, lower spine and up through the head which can cause damage. The muscles of the foot, called the spring suspension muscles, must be strong in order to prevent over rolling or supination or pronation to maintain the foot in a safe range. Many … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #37 Aches, Pains, Allergies, Fatigue, Brain Fog, Diseases of Aging Have One Common Thread… INFLAMMATION
The scientific community has found a connection between high chronic levels of Inflammation to the diseases of aging like heart disease and other diseases.... My first exposure to the connection between inflammation and diseases was in the paradise island of Bali Indonesia in 2005. No, I did not get inflamed skin from sun burn laying at the beach. I wish! It was in a lecture hall at a medical conference. While lecturing in Indonesia in 2005, I attended a lecture given by Dr. Bill Anton who discussed the connection between chronic inflammation and the diseases of aging such as heart disease. It was that experience that inspired me to write this book because I had an “A-ha!” moment: Chronic Inflammation comes from: Your Diet - The food you eat. (even if it's natural or unprocessed) What you breath in. (pollution, sprays, allergens, ect.) What you touch Injuries Abnormal Walking Patterns (even if you are not in frank … [Read More...]

Video Tutorial # 143 What I Learned From Studying Javier Sotomeyer Technique About Improved Performance and Reducing Injury Risk
Developing A Strong Human Spring Is The Key To Developing Maximum Jump Capacity. Example: Javier Sotomeyer This is a video of Javier Sotomeyer ,an athlete from Cuba who broke the world record in the high jump at over 8 feet. This is a man that ran about 15 steps and jumped 8 feet over a bar. You can see how he is using his body like a spring mechanism jumping higher than his height. He is using his body like a spring mechanism because it is a spring mechanism. That’s what I call the human spring. Human spring is very interesting because athletes develop human spring to be able to perform these amazing feats of athleticism. Unfortunately so many people don’t understand how athletes develop this maximum human spring and the importance of human spring and anti-aging or preservation of joint integrity. It happens with controlled impact training allied plyometrics. Jumping Ability This is the ability to get maximum spring force from the … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial # 159 – Foot Lock! What You Get From Standing Too Long And How To Prevent It
In my practice, I work 90 hours a week on average. What is worse is that I am standing on my feet the entire time. How do I do that and still run barefoot? If someone should have an excuse for why they can't run or run barefoot it should be me. This is my typical week: I practice about 12 hours a day from 9:00am in the morning to 9:00pm at night, minimum five days a week. At least 3 nights a week I am working on my feet until midnight on a VIP client. I work at least one full day if not two on my feet on the weekends. When you’re on your feet for an extended period of time, the muscles that suspend your feet or the spring suspension system muscles are in a sustained contraction that has to be maintained for a certain amount time. What is sustained contraction and how does it lock your joints and specifically the human spring? An example would be holding a glass of water in my hand. Although I can do this easily. If I hold it for too … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #68 The Exercise Your Doing Could Be Aging You Faster!
Is it true that exercise could accelerate the aging process? Of course! Exercise is ONLY healthy if your body is moving the way it was engineered to move. Would you take your car for a 10 hour trip if your front end was out of alignment?’ NO! Would you lift weights knowing that your form and technique could lead to stress and strain of your joints causing arthritis over time? No! So by telling your patients that you should exercise as a form of anti-aging medicine it seems right, theoretically. However, if you have joint motions that are not consistent with the way the body is designed to move then you will have: Stress and Strain of Connective Tissue, Muscles, Joints and Bones Abnormal Wear of Delicate Cartilage Surface of Your Joints Micro-tears or Tears of the Connective Tissue, Ligaments, Tendons and Muscles Release of Inflammatory Chemicals Increased Inflammation can lead to Pain and Limited Activity Increased Inflammation is … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #168 The “Controlled Fall” And It’s Importance In Efficiency In Walking, Running And Especially Barefoot Running
Dr James Stoxen DC shares and demonstrates Video Tutorial #168 The "Controlled Fall" And It's Importance In Efficiency In Walking, Running And Especially Barefoot Running Coco Cay, Bahamas November 11, 2011 The Next Tip I have for you today has to do with something called Gravity. Gravity can make your running easier or more difficult. If you notice Olympic runners at the end of a race hitting the tape. Their bodies are always ahead of their feet. Gravity is pulling them towards the direction that they want to go. You have the force or the spring action of your body and in addition the free energy from gravity. So, the best way that I recommend you start your run is by going into a controlled fall. What that means is that your just going to lean forward and just when your about to fall you throw your foot in front of your body and engage your spring mechanisms. What i'm going to show you is how to do this. I will stand and let gravity take me and get me … [Read More...]
Video Tutorial #169 How To Land Your Foot When Walking, Running And Barefoot Running
The next tip I'm going to share with you is the correct way to land your foot. The body is the mass and the speed of which we are running is the acceleration. The force of the landing is how the mass engages with the human spring. There are three ways your foot can land your foot with your bodyweight and the relation of your spring mechanism: 1. The first way is when your mass is behind the spring. I call this a deceleration spring landing. It's also called 'breaking' in sports. When your mass is behind the human spring it can: a. come to a complete stop b. slow you down c. as it slows down and breaks the momentum carried you over the break. This is not the optimum way to use the mass to improve the spring action. 2. The second way is having the mass land directly over the spring. This is good to keep the stress and strain off of the human spring. Which leads to wear and tear and inflammation and eventually could lead to injury. The bounce is … [Read More...]

Video Tutorial #174 Barefoot Running? What If I Step On Something?
Dr James Stoxen DC shares and demonstrates Video Tutorial #174 What If I Step On Something? part 1 Coco Cay, Bahamas November 9, 2011 As the barefoot running doctor one of the first things people ask me is: Aren't you worried about stepping on something? such as: a piece of glass? a rock? a syringe? (crazy as if there are syringes all over the place?) When you are running with shoes on you don't have to worry so much about stepping on those things but when you are running without shoes on it becomes an extra variable in the running equation. This can be better because it adds another dimension to your run which is called: Agility Coordination and Balance! When you are running with shoes on you become less aware of your running. Listening to nature or your ipod ect. Becoming less aware of your environment because you have the shoes to protect you. When you are running barefoot you might see that there are rocks on the street … [Read More...]

Video Tutorial #137 Why Plyometric Jumping Or Impact Exercises Increase The Level Of Human Performance In Athletes and YOU too!
Below, is an example of the way athletes are trained in by plyometric box jumping. Resisting the impact to make the spring mechanism stronger. Not many doctors would recommend this to their patients because one might think that impact is going to be damaging to the joints of a patient. The impact is only damaging to the joints of the patient if we don't have a an intact spring mechanism. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE In this case he is jumping down with the force of the landing mass distributed across the feet. When you run you launch the weight in the air and land on one foot. For instance let's say you have 20 people in an aerobics class who are jumping, bounding and hopping. If 10 of them get shin splints, back pain, knee pain, plantar fascitis, heel spurs or any number of 10-12 different conditions related to impacts you would go to the doctor. You might hear Oh my, those impacts are not good for you. Stop that activity, as that is bad for your … [Read More...]
