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

Around 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.

Like the foundation of a tall building, problems in the feet can have far-reaching effects throughout the body, resulting in heel pain, aching legs and knee pain.

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR FEET?
Most people don’t realise that their feet pronate or associate the problem with poor posture and other body ailments.

Yet the difference between good foot alignment and poor alignment is obvious once you use a good orthotic. An orthotic is a corrective insole that realigns the foot to a neutral position.
