The feet are the foundation of the body. The foot is comprised of 3 arches: the medial, lateral, and transverse. All 3 of these arches need to activate to get the muscles in the low back to activate. The feet are incredibly important because they can dictate the structure of the rest of the body. If a chronic issue keeps returning, it is possible the foundation of the structure is misaligned.
as we all know the feet are the foundation of the body – yet they are often overlooked, under cared for and downright abused in our daily lives. We often take our feet for granted and one really give them proper consideration once something goes wrong and they cause us pain or discomfort.
Our feet are incredibly important because they can dictate the structure of the rest of the body including our ankle, knees, hips, and low back. Many times new patients will come to us with pain in the jonts in the lower body, convinced they’ve harmed their knees our hips for example and we find that the issue is the actually feet!
The foot of is composed of the 3 arches: the medial, lateral, and transverse. All 3 of thses arches must be properly activated to get the muscles in the low back to activate. When there is new weakness in the structure of the foot, or an injury that has improperly healed in the past, what can often happen is that the other joints of the body begin to (try to) compensate for the deficit in foot strength or proper function. Overtime this actually can issues with the other joints in the body and is best avoided.
