    So again...Kevin Kirby adds his "two cents" with an article published in Podiatry Today last July. I'm actually rather shocked that no one bothered to post a link here...including the Administrator. While the article itself seems rather abbreviated...it's the follow-replies by Dr. Phillips that are most "illuminating".

    Kevin continues to attack the work by Dr. Root by citing various adherents to TST...but in Dr. Phillips' first reply is this: "Indeed, Dr. Root made the following comment to a class that he taught in 1979 at the California College of Podiatric Medicine, "I only believe 50% of what I taught 5 years ago and I think that I will only believe 50% of what I teach today 5 years from now."

    This, in essence, verifies what Dr. Root's son, Jeff, has been telling us for years...that human biomechanics is a fluid and an ongoing study...especially of the lower extremity.

    Hmmmm...OK, so in YOUR estimation, the subject has been discussed ad nauseum. However, Kevin Kirby obviously believes the subject is unsettled...and so do I. Dr. Phillips also doesn't believe the topic is settled, either. Kevin's reply to Dr. Phillips is quite entertaining...don't you think?

    It appears you missed out on a grand opportunity to allow further discussion and debate. But, I guess you TST guys aren't interested. However, there's a lot of impressionable newbies on this blog that would love to read the various ideas and back-and-forth on this, as well as many other topics of biomechanical interest.

    You're welcome for allowing me a chance to do your job.

    Matt, If you wanted further debate you could have quoted the part of the article you disagreed with and given an argument of why you think it was wrong. Or you could just take shots at people.

    I could've...but the MAIN point I wanted to make was italicized above. Now...you KNOW how I feel about your poppy-cock TST...so shall we re-visit that...or should I just stick to the content of this article? Your call...
