“Touch is the body's natural tranquilizer so it has this calming effect,” explains Dr. Emily Splichal, DPM. As a podiatrist, Dr. Emily is well versed in the healing power of touch, especially in relation to the nerves in the feet. To help her clients harness the power of touch, Dr. Emily developed Naboso, a sensory product line. 

Naboso first began with a textured mat and has since evolved her products to include textured socks, insoles, hand weights, release tools and more. All of Dr Emily’s products are based on the same texture technology to allow for optimal release of the nerves and increased circulation, particularly in the feet and hands. In addition to assisting with recovery, pain relief, and circulation, touch tools can also help people with PTSD, ADHD, and autism because of their calming effects on the nervous system. 

Tune into this week’s episode of Movement: The Science of The Self to learn more about the healing power of touch and how Dr. Emily  is improving her patient’s quality of life one touch tool at a time.
