Changing the ground to suit you!
The problem ... unstable foundations.
Think of your body as a tall building, if the foundation is unbalanced or defective then the structure will be unsound. In the same way our body needs to be on a stable secure foundation …... our feet!
Our feet were designed to walk on a variety of different natural surfaces such as sand soil and grass, however man has covered these surfaces with materials such as cement thus causing our feet to roll inwards or pronate. This ‘excess’ pronation has been estimated at over 80% of the population in some cultures causing many common conditions such as:
§ Metatarsalgia of Ball of the foot pain
§ Fallen arches or Pronation
§ Heel pain, Heel spurs and Plantar fasciitis
§ Achilles pain, Achillies tendonitis
§ Inside Knee pain -Medial Knee pain
It is important to support the long arch in the foot and this can be done by using Pedistep® orthotics to change the ground to suit your foot shape and type as this will reduce the wear and tear on joints and limit the body’s compensatory action and the subsequent complaints that occur such as Hip pain and Knee pain.
