harness the hidden strength
Within Your Feet
Are you ready to reconnect to the natural intelligence of your feet, while improving movement efficiency and whole-body vitality from the ground up.
If you are seeking pain-free movement, enhanced performance, and a stronger foundation – your journey starts here
Meet Dr. Emily
Your Movement Longevity Doc
I’m not your average podiatrist.
As a functional foot and movement specialist, global educator, author and founder of Naboso, my mission is to redefine how we move — from the ground up. With over two decades of experience, I blend barefoot science, human performance, and neuroscience to help people move smarter, age stronger, and stay grounded for life.
Whether I’m teaching professionals, developing sensory-based products, or exploring my own movement language on the ballroom dance floor, I believe that movement is medicine — and that our feet are the gateway. Through my approach to movement longevity, I help everyone from elite athletes to active agers reconnect to their natural foundation and unlock the lifelong power of every step.
Movement Isn’t Mechanical —
It’s Sensory
Dr. Emily Splichal’s books are for anyone who wants to move smarter, feel stronger, and stay vibrant for life.
In Barefoot Strong, she takes you on a journey from your toes to your core, showing how something as simple as waking up your feet can transform your posture, performance, and confidence.
In Sensory Sapiens, Dr Emily dives even deeper — into the brain-body connection, fascia, and the power of sensation — revealing how we’re wired not just to move, but to feel our way through life.
Packed with science, stories, and strategies, Dr. Emily’s books are equal parts brainy and badass — and will have you looking at your feet (and your movement) in a whole new way.
This Is More Than Podiatry — It’s the Future of How We Move
If you’re searching for solutions beyond the conventional path of orthotics and surgery, I offer a more holistic, science-driven approach rooted in functional medicine and functional movement. My foot health programming is built on evidence-based principles of fascial fitness, foot-to-core sequencing, and barefoot stimulation — designed to restore the body’s natural foundation and unlock long-term movement longevity.
I approach every patient with the belief that true healing begins within. We each hold the power to transform our health — but it requires ownership, consistency, and commitment. Every patient I work with must be ready to take an active role in their recovery and invest in the process of lasting change.
Dr Splichal is actively seeing patients both virtually and in-person in both Chandler and Scottsdale, AZ.
