Lee Saxby

Biomechanist & running coach

Lee is one of the most recognised coaches for running technique on an international level. His knowledge and experience in running biomechanics and foot function has benefited injured runners, both recreational and elite around the globe and led him to develop the Functional FootMap assessment system.

The science behind foot function

Over the last 15 years Lee has been a key figure in the natural movement / barefoot revolution and has been consulted by various shoe companies, university research projects, and injured athletes for his ability to diagnose and correct biomechanical problems. Best-selling author Christopher McDOugall ("Born to run") as well as the barefoot professor Daniel E. Liebermann (Harvard University) were able to regain their natural athletic abilities through Lee's coaching methods.

Lee works closely together with Sebastian Bär to make the principles of natural foot function accessible to the general public and to help people finally focus on our most neglected part of the body again: our feet!
