Dr Payne, has your opinion regarding my research changed?

October 2002, Dr. Payne wrote a letter to the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies requesting that my paper, Medial column foot systems. An innovative tool for improving posture, be censored. Dr. Craig stated: “The clinical approach proposed by the author [Rothbart] may even be detrimental.”

Dr. Payne, do you still believe that my research is unsubstantiated and my clinical approach detrimental to the Podiatric profession? I believe, at one time, you were so upset with my research that you temporarily restricted my participation in the Podiatry Forum.

 

In Dr. Payne's letter to the editor of the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, Dr. Payne states: "McPoil el al. (1987) have shown that there is no relationship between the position of the head and neck of the talus and the forefoot, suggesting that the author is wrong in the claims he makes."

In 2020, two independent orthopedic research teams validated that Metatarsus Primus Supinatus (the hallmark of Rothbarts Foot) exists in the postnatal foot and that this supinatus inchoates at the head of the talus, cascading down the medial column of the foot ending in 1st metatarsal and associated phalanges. Thus refuting McPoil's position.

I can only wonder if Dr. Payne still aligns his opinion with that of Dr. McPoil's?
