Excess Foot Pronation

Do you experience foot and leg discomfort?

Do you complain about heel pain, knee pain, back pain, or aching legs?

One of the main causes of this is a condition called 'excess pronation'. 'Pronation' simply means 'turning inward', and normal pronation is important because our feet must adapt to the ground.

With over pronation, the arch of the foot can flatten, collapse, and stretch the soft tissues, causing our joints working at abnormal angles, resulting in staple joints becoming loose and flexible.

Excess pronation may leave you feeling very tired, and could lead to permanent problems and even deformities because of the stress on the tendons, muscles and ligaments.

An estimated 75% of the population suffer from Excess Pronation.

You can relieve aches and pains, and prevent and control pronation through the re-alignment of your feet. Insoles and Orthotics are simple and highly effective methods of treatment which work to control Excess Pronation through special built-in angles to restore the natural position of the foot and leg, thereby relieving many aches and pains in the process.

Who can benefit? People on their feet all day, most elderly people, sports people, and children with growing pains.

If you think insoles or orthotics can help you, please come into Healthpoint Chemist and talk to us.
