A victim of fashion: Woman’s footwear
Like many individuals, my shoe collection was once a diverse mix of every style imaginable. From flip flops to work boots, sneakers to stilettos, I had them all. However, my perspective on footwear underwent a radical transformation when I discovered Adaptive Bodywork Structural Integration (ABSI).
Joining the Barefoot Cult

Adaptive Bodywork Structural Integration is a transformative process that not only improves posture and alleviates back pain but also has a profound effect on the feet and legs. After undergoing ABSI, I experienced a remarkable change. My legs and feet felt lighter, my hips, knees, and ankles became aligned, and I felt a newfound sense of stability. Walking barefoot allowed me to fully experience these sensations, while my regular shoes seemed to dull this newfound awareness.
Understanding the Need for Barefoot Shoes
A regular shoe versus a barefoot shoe
Many of us believe that our feet need the support of shoes to function correctly. However, after undergoing ABSI, I realized that in a balanced body, the feet need protection, not assistance. Regular shoes can actually disrupt our body’s natural balance and stability.
The Myth of Arch Support
The various arches of the human foot
Arch support is a common recommendation for a variety of foot conditions. However, these artificial supports can mask the underlying instability caused by imbalance. They don’t address the root cause of the weakness, which is rigidity and immobility. Through ABSI, your body gains balance, and your feet and arches become naturally supportive.
The Problem with Orthotics
Reevaluating orthotic inserts
Orthotics are often used as a corrective device for chronic back pain and imbalance. However, they merely create an illusion of balance on top of an already imbalanced structure. They don’t address the cause of the imbalance. Wearing orthotics can actually hinder the ABSI process, forcing your body back into its old patterns.
The Dangers of High Heels
Structurally damaging high heels
High heels, while stylish, can be structurally damaging. They shift your center of gravity, forcing your weight onto the balls of your feet and toes. This causes your body to maintain tension to prevent you from falling, which can sabotage the balance developed through ABSI.
Transitioning to New Shoes
Minimalist barefoot shoes
If you’ve undergone Adaptive Bodywork Structural Integration, it’s time to reconsider your footwear. Give your feet a chance to breathe and perform their natural function. Consider transitioning to shoes with flat soles or, better yet, barefoot shoes. These types of footwear can help maintain the balance and stability gained through ABSI.
Conclusion
Standing in barefoot shoes with a balanced posture
The type of shoes you wear can significantly impact your body’s balance and stability. If you’ve undergone Adaptive Bodywork Structural Integration, consider making the switch to barefoot shoes. Not only will your feet thank you, but you’ll also be able to fully experience the benefits of a balanced body.
