In 2011, Dr. Tom Michaud published a textbook entitled Human Locomotion that focused on examination, assessment, treatment and prevention of gait-related injuries. Dr. Michaud's textbook has sold over 15,000 copies and has been translated into four languages. Throughout his years in practice, Dr. Michaud has treated thousands of athletes and over time he's developed several products for exercise and rehab that are available on HumanLocomotion.com. The most popular product, the ToePro, is designed to strengthen the toes and muscles of the foot and ankle, and is an important tool for strengthening the toes (toe strength is the most important thing for balance as you age). Dr. Michaud's articles and videos feature topics that focus on rehabbing injuries such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and peripheral neuropathy, and most recently maintaining balance, agility and strength for fall prevention.
