Benefits of walking barefoot
The fascial manipulation specialist, who also founded the Human Garage Wellness Group, explained in the comment section of his post the benefits of walking barefoot.
"Grounding reduces pain and alters the numbers of circulating neutrophils and lymphocytes, and also affects various circulating chemical factors related to inflammation."
He encouraged people to try walking without any footwear to see the difference.
"After a year, you’ll be able to tell me how you feel. Still the barefoot doctor."
Expert benefits of not wearing footwear
Walking without footwear has its benefits. According to Healthline, walking barefoot improves one's balance, proprioception, and body awareness, which can help with pain relief.
It helps in maintaining an appropriate range of motion in one's foot and ankle joints as well as adequate strength and stability within one's muscles and ligaments.
Walking barefoot can also give one stronger leg muscles, which support the lower back region.
