Walking, Movement and Health Podcast naBOSo

Listen to a podcast with MUDr. Filip Burget about preventing and treating heel spurs, sprained ankles and fallen arches for healthier feet.

Welcome to another episode of the naBOSo mluVÍ podcast, where we were joined by MUDr. Filip Burget. In our conversation, we opened up two topics – the first is more on the expert side, while the second focuses on the missions the doctor regularly takes part in, helping in countries where it’s truly needed. 

We covered three important topics that we also discuss often in our shops, talking about heel spurs, sprained ankles and fallen arches, which are very often mistakenly confused with flat feet. We asked Dr Burget what’s typical for these issues, what conventional treatment looks like, and whether it’s possible to prevent them at all. Then we moved on to missions in Libya, Nepal and Ghana. You’ll find out how many MUDr. Burget has completed so far, how he got involved in them in the first place, and what their aim is.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • What happens when you sprain an ankle and why it’s important to ice the swelling (1:57)
  • How treatment works and what you can do yourself to support it (4:25)
  • When it’s better to see a doctor straight away (6:22)
  • What a heel spur is, and how and why it develops (9:25)
  • Which methods can be used to treat it today (11:50)
  • How a fallen arch is addressed, whether transverse or longitudinal (13:35)
  • How many missions MUDr. Burget has been on and what their goal actually is (20:59)
  • Which of the most interesting places he’s visited so far (24:48)
  • Whether he ever has to deal with prejudice while travelling (27:32)
  • What surprises him most during missions (29:55)
