About Voodoo Biomechanics

Voodoo Biomechanics is where science meets scepticism — and traditional biomechanics gets a hard reboot.

Created by Ray Anthony, MA, BSc (Hons), FRCPodS, Voodoo Biomechanics explores the evidence behind commonly accepted ideas in podiatry, lower-limb biomechanics and foot orthotic therapy.

The aim is not to replace one orthotic doctrine with another. It is to ask a simpler question: what does the evidence actually show?

Topics range from foot orthosis prescription variables, running-shoe mechanics and tissue stress to clinical assessment, research methodology and the transition from kinematic thinking toward a more kinetic approach to foot orthotic therapy — including the SHIFT Project.

Voodoo Biomechanics deliberately examines assumptions that have become embedded in clinical practice, particularly where proposed mechanisms have been repeated for decades without adequate experimental validation.

No myths. No magic. Just biomechanics, evidence and critical discussion.
