Your Feet - a Strong Foundation

2/9/2022

2 Comments

 
​Most movement activities involve standing on your feet. And just with a good building, a strong foundation is needed to keep the structures stable and healthy. A poor foundation leads to early breakdown of all structures. If your foot foundation tends to roll to the inside excessively, you are a pronator. If instead it tends to roll to the outside, you are a supinator. The easiest way to find this out is to walk barefoot with wet feet on concrete.

In case you are not sure, we offer a free foot scan at Highland Physical Therapy.  Why does your footprint matter? The image below shows how excessive pronation and supination impact your ankles. Wow!

You take an average of two thousand steps per mile when walking. And the recommended 10,000 daily steps is nearly 5 miles!  As you can see, an unstable foundation eventually causes breakdown the structures above. It all starts with the feet! Next week I will show you how the knees are impacted. In the mean time, check out your footprints. If you are interested in learning more about your own feet, we offer a free foot scan, just call us at 208-237-2080.
