The average person makes over 15,000 steps per day. Amazing! The amount of force that passes through your feet each time you take a step is equivalent to approximately three-and-a- half times your body weight. If you weigh 150 pounds, your feet absorb over 500 pounds of pressure with every step.
Foot imbalances, have been shown to have a direct influence on the mechanics of the knee, balance, and spinal posture. Excessive Pronation is shown to be present in nearly 95% of adults. No wonder your feet are aching!
So what can you do? You may benefit from a custom orthotic device that would allow your foot to move through its full range of motion while blocking excessive pronation. Many chiropractors can fit you for a custom orthotic and today they make them in all sorts of styles and thicknesses for dress shoes to athletic wear. It is a great addition to your healthy lifestyle.
