Science, movement, and a lot of heart from Gran Canaria
Next week we're packing our bags (respectfully, of course 😀) to travel to Gran Canaria, where the 54th National Podiatry Congress, the big annual meeting of the guild that knows the most about feet, will be held.
We will be there not only as attendees, but actively participating in two moments that we are very excited about. Because when it comes to learning, sharing, and continuing to advance our knowledge about children's feet, there's no stopping us.
🦶 Workshop: “The intrinsic musculature of the infant foot”
For the second consecutive year, our dear Roberto Pascual returns to the stage with a workshop that is as useful as it is inspiring: the intrinsic musculature of the foot.
During the session, we will see how to activate and care for this musculature in two complementary ways:
🟨 Naturally, allowing the feet to move freely, with respectful footwear that allows them to feel and react.
🟨 Guided, with simple and practical exercises to strengthen from the base.
There will also be a very special moment 💛: a child will participate live so that Roberto can show us real exercises and we can see how strength and coordination are worked on from childhood.
Because when the toes move… the foot thinks, feels, and develops better.
👩🏻⚕️ Pediatrics Panel: first impressions of the scientific study
Another great moment of the Congress will be Roberto Pascual's presentation at the Pediatrics Panel, where he will share the first impressions of the study we are conducting together with the University of Alicante and the Catholic University.
More than 100 children are participating in it, comparing the development of those who have used respectful footwear with those who have never done so. The objective is simple, but enormous: to provide solid scientific evidence on how the type of footwear influences the development of the infant foot.
📊 The first results will be presented at this congress, and everything indicates that they will mark a before and after in how we understand health and natural movement from childhood.
🌱 Walking towards knowledge
For us, this research is not just science: it is a way of giving back to the community all that we have learned over almost ten years walking alongside families, podiatrists, and healthcare professionals.
We are convinced that this path—made of small steps, free feet, and a great desire to learn—is building something great: a future where every child can move freely and develop their full potential.
So yes, this time the fierce tribe is traveling to Gran Canaria.
A congress full of learning, science, and care for the feet that support us every day awaits us.
💚 Thank you for joining us every step of the way.
We continue walking together… with much respect and even more curiosity!
