Our Feet are the Foundation of the Body
|

|
Life is demanding on our feet, knees, hips, and back. We live, work, and play on hard unyielding surfaces. Every time Your foot hits the ground it hits with a force up to 1.5 times Your body weight. While participating in sports, that force can increase to over 8 times body weight. That means the average 160 pound person hits the ground with up to 1,200 pounds of force.

It's Not Just Our Feet
Did you know that your problem knee, hip, or bad back could be caused by foot alignment? It can, because of the "kinetic chain." The foot connects to the lower leg, which connects to the knee, which connects to the pelvis and up the spine. That means that any instability in the feet takes its toll on alignment of the entire body. |

When exercising, training or competing; Your feet and lower body are subject to pressure & torque forces which cause Arch collapse (Pronation) and misalignment of the Lower Body. This misalignment results in Instability, Inefficacy, Power Loss and Overuse Injuries. |
