Take Care Of Foot Pronation And Improve Function
Foot pronation is a natural inward movement of the ankle and foot. It is designed to absorb shock and is an integral part of your gait. However, If a person has a weak arch and faulty foot biomechanics, over-pronation will occurr. During over-pronation force absorption is compromised and stresses on the body are magnified.
There are a number of consequences affecting a person who over-pronates:
- There is undo stress on your plantar fascia at the bottom of the foot
- There is increased stress at the base of your toes
- Your knees and hips will be forced into an internally rotated position
- Your pelvis angle will change and torque will increase stresses on ligaments
- Increased strain onto your low back will be a potential source of pain
These faults may result in common problems such as Plantar Fascitis, Bunions, Shin Splints, Medial Knee Pain, Hip Pain, Low Back Pain.
