Good info for humans - now think of hoof angles…

Our feet share a special connection with our body, they connect us with the ground, and we should pay special attention to how our feet are behaving if we want to perform at our best and stay injury-free.

The arches of your feet are one of the most jam-packed and complex anatomical structures in your body and help with many things:

• They allow for fine-tuned movements of the foot and toes in order to achieve stability and balance.

• They act like a ‘core’ to help support the arch and hold it in place when weight-bearing. This helps maintain balance and control and prevents the foot from unwanted collapse.

• They help the foot become stiff and rigid to create propulsion when walking, running, jumping, etc. They also help the foot become mobile/adaptable when needed.

Now with a pronated foot (collapsing medially), your hip (ipsilaterally) side moves down and anteriorly.

With a supinated foot ⤴️(moving externally), your weight shifts laterally, and you will feel pressure on the outside of your feet.

This leads to mechnical imbalances that affect everything above your ankle joint.

Improving foot proprioception is the first step to addressing a foot imbalance.

Therapeutic insoles are a great way to address poor foot posture by hacking your nervous system.

This is how they work: 1️⃣ mechanoreceptor (skin)> 2️⃣ thalamus > 3️⃣ sensory cortex > 4️⃣ motor cortex (movement)

Since the motor cortex is what ultimately controls your muscles, working with a product that feeds it 24/7 results in FAST and permanent changes in poor foot and body posture.
