Realigning problem feet

Poor alignment of the feet not only affects your posture, but can cause aches and pains in other parts of the body.

More than 70% of people suffer from excess pronation, which is when the foot rolls inwards when walking.
 
The human foot was originally designed for walking on natural surfaces like soil and sand. But thanks to civilisation, we now give our feet a daily pounding by walking and standing on hard, flat, unnatural surfaces like pavements and floors. This causes our feet to flatten and twist (pronate) in order to make ground contact, which results in poor posture, heel pain, aching legs and knee pain.

ORTHAHEEL ORTHOTICS CAN HELP
An orthotic is a corrective insole device that realigns the foot to a neutral position.
