Focus on Your Feet!
Your feet are your foundation.
According to the Harvard Medical School,”Your feet are the foundation of an active lifestyle. “Happy Feet, Happy Life. Your feet always support you, so return the favor.”
To maintain peak performance while running and walking, our body’s kinetic chain needs to stay in optimal operation.
What’s a kinetic chain?
Arthur Steindler described it best in his book, Kinesiology of the Human Body where he says, “Each bony segment in the lower extremity, such as the foot, lower leg, thigh, and pelvis, can be viewed as a rigid link, with the subtalar, ankle, knee, and hip joints acting as the connecting joints.”
These chain links are then connected by nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, and tendons that create a natural push and pull action throughout the body.
Imbalances in the kinetic chain from your feet, your foundation, can be felt as falling arches, too much pressure on the toes, knee pain, and low back pain to name a few. This leads to other conditions like runner’s knee, Achilles tendonitis, and heel spurs that can plague runners.
In fact, 77% of the population overpronates their feet! Overpronation is when the arch of the foot collapses excessively downward or inward. Overpronation is commonly known as flat feet.
Chiropractic care is an all-natural way to realign the body and make that kinetic chain, and your feet happier overall! Wearing custom orthotics by Foot Levelers supports those adjustments and keeps your body in alignment.
