Healing Is Hell When You're Heavy on Your Heels with Patrick Daly - 8/26/26

In this livestream, Patrick, the movement specialist at New Biology Clinic, guest hosts while Tom is away and shares his perspective on movement, posture, foot mechanics, and the meaning behind “healing is hell when you’re on your heels.”

Highlights from this session include:
-Patrick introduces his background in movement training, including 15 years of experience working with people of all ages, abilities, injuries, surgeries, and physical challenges.
-He explains that the body is not flawed, but is constantly communicating. When symptoms are ignored or masked, he says the body often “gets louder” until we pay attention.
-He discusses the importance of the feet as the foundation of movement, especially how many people carry their weight back on their heels.
-He breaks down the body’s mobile-stable-mobile-stable pattern, explaining how a stiff ankle can create compensations in the knee, hip, lower back, and beyond.
-He compares the foot to the gas and brake pedals of a car: the ball of the foot helps propel the body forward, while the heel acts like a brake.
-He connects being heavy on the heels with stiffness, compression, frozen joints, collapsed arches, bunions, knee issues, hip issues, and lower back pain.
-He emphasizes the difference between “exercising” and “training,” encouraging people to move with attention, intention, awareness, and curiosity.
-He discusses how emotional and psychological stress can show up physically in the body, often influencing posture, tension, and the way someone stands or moves.
-He encourages gentle, present movement rather than forcing the body, and reminds viewers that the goal is to help the body feel safe enough to communicate and reorganize.

Questions discussed in this webinar include:
-My heel is painful. What can I do?
-Do you know Doctor Reich Hammer?
-About toe walking in toddlers. Back in the day, I recall talk of it being bad. I am now wondering if it really is a good thing off those heels.
-Why do, why do humans favor their heels if it doesn't work for us?
-I know I have been using my body in wrong ways, and that that is the basis of the physical problems in my right leg coming from my frozen pelvis. But is it true that unresolved emotions store themselves in the hips as well?
-Any effect down the pipe on body weight increase?
-Hey, Pat, I'll be starting PT again and tired of repeatedly beginning baby steps. Once I've become able to walk and run easily, I intend to go on to the treadmill and the elliptical. Any suggestions you have for me are welcome.

Additional comments discussed include:
-An autistic young man at my sister's wedding walked around all day on his tiptoes like a cow. I was fascinated. Since then, when fatigue sets in on long labor days, I walk on my tiptoes.
-In childhood, I walked with the front half of my foot to try to be taller, as I was the youngest one in the family. It helped strengthen my calves, and it helped to outrun the guys on the playground.

Throughout the webinar, Patrick emphasizes that movement begins with awareness, that the feet influence the entire body, and that healing requires listening to the body’s signals rather than forcing, ignoring, or outsourcing the process.
