OVER PRONATION / EXCESS PRONATION (Fallen arches)
It is estimated that around 80% of the population suffer from excessive pronation. This condition is common in all types of people from children to the elderly and from top athletes to people with a sedentary lifestyle.
The feet become misaligned and combined with poor posture roll inwards to gain ground contact, the arches become flattened producing the condition known as excessive pronation.
When the feet are excessively pronated a combination of poor posture and diminished shock absorption results in some areas of the feet being subjected to excessive stress and pressure. This can lead to various conditions including knee and back problems, as well as foot problems and deformities.
Professional chiropody / podiatry adhesive paddings and materials can be used to help reduce the excessive pressure. Also with the use of orthotic insoles, it is possible to control over pronation of the feet, helping them to function more normally, reducing the stress on the feet, knees and back.
These are some of the possible resulting conditions due to poor shock absorption in the feet.
The orthotics which we recommend for this condition are the DFO FootSupports™ orthotics.
