Custom Foot Orthotics: Overpronation and Arch Support In Plain English | Related article: [ Ссылка ] Custom orthotics don't allow your feet to initiate shock absorption (pronation). Before you use orthotic insoles for overpronation (flat feet), it's worth knowing that the arch support forces your feet to move in the wrong direction at the wrong time, which happens to be away from the area where you feel pain. On average, you'll take 6,000 to 7,000 steps a day with custom orthotics. Instead of having flat feet or feet that overpronate adapting to the ground, your feet will be forced to adapt to the orthotics. In other words, at the time your feet are supposed to be initiating shock absorption, they end up going against gravity, which is described as supination (aka under pronation). Then your lower legs and the rest of your chain follow what your feet do. Whether you have flat feet, overpronate, or have high arches, your feet have to collide with the ground. When arch supports in the form of custom-made orthopedic insoles are added to shoes, it adds insult to injury in two ways: (1) your feet will be weaker for having brought the ground up to support your arches. (2) custom-made orthotic insoles increase compensation. In this video, I explain why foot orthotics are not suitable for any length of time.

// What You'll Learn

🌍 supporting your arches with orthotic insoles doesn't align with the principles of human function

🌍 foot orthotic insoles don't slow down pronation

🌍 custom orthotics and the over-the-counter (otc) shoe insoles eliminate pronation

🌍 shock absorption can only be initiated when the joint motions consistent with pronation are available to your foot

🌍 when your foot can't initiate shock absorption, the force has to go somewhere

🌍 custom orthotic insoles throw off the timing at which your feet, knees, hips, spinal column, and shoulder girdle absorb shock

🌍 foot orthotics increase compensation throughout your chain

🌍 orthotic insoles drive your foot away from the area where you feel pain
