    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.

    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!
