Wait… no, let me tell YOU something.
Ever notice sore knees, hips, or lower back after walking or running? Or maybe your shoes wear down fast at the heels? That could be a sign you’re heel striking, landing on your heel instead of your midfoot.
It might seem normal, but heel striking can throw off your posture and add stress to your joints over time. Your body’s meant to move in balance and that starts from the ground up!
Here’s how to tell if you might be heel striking:
👟 Your shoes wear down more at the heels
👣 You hear or feel a heavy thud when your foot hits the ground
🦵 You notice knee or hip discomfort after walking or running
If you’ve noticed signs of heel striking, don’t ignore them … we’re here to help. At Active Family Chiropractic, we truly care about keeping you moving and feeling your best.
