Impact of Poor foot mechanics –
Whether you have active or sedentary lifestyle each day, your feet are the ones doing the work and it is important they are working in an effective way.
The way you walk has an effect on the muscles/joints and ligaments of the lower limb so we aim to make sure you are walking as best as you can to limit the strain on these components.
This can cause and worsens existing injuries such as knee pain, ankle pain, hip pain and tendinopathies such as Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and Post Tibial Dysfunction.
