How Rowe Went from Orthotics to Minimalist/Barefoot Running | The Balanced Runner Reviews

Years ago Rowe Palmer dragged his right leg across the finish line of his first marathon with orthotics in his conventional shoes. A few months ago he and his wife finished a six-month trail running vacation, running 6 days a week in minimalist shoes, with some barefoot running and walking as well.
In this video, Rowe talks with Jae Gruenke, founder of The Balanced Runner,™ about how using the Feldenkrais Method of Movement Education through The Balanced Runner™ helped him resolve his running injuries and run more sustainably by getting rid of his orthotics and improving his running form (or running technique), and how this led to a larger transformation in his life and his family than he could have imagined.

Have you tried transitioning out of orthotics, or into minimalist shoes or barefoot running? How did it go?

I am using Hykes Pinnacle and love them, I will never go back to regular shoes.

Really interesting - I have "Hip Impingement" and have been recommended to use orthodics. What are your thoughts with someone with FAI (CAM) and orthodics for running?
