Pronation and Supination

Pronation (feet that roll in) and Supination (feet that roll out)

Our feet are designed to move while we walk. It is a natural motion that we roll in or roll out. We need to get our feet to the ground and absorb shock. However, if somebody is rolling in (pronating) or rolling out (supinating) too much, pain and problems can arise.

The foot comprises a complex network of muscles and tendons. If these muscles and tendons move too much due to the foot rolling in or out, they are overworking and become stressed, strained, and sore.

Arthritis in the feet can occur when the feet excessively move, causing accelerated wear and tear on the joints as they sit in the wrong place. 

Conditions like bunions can arise when someone is rolling in or rolling out too much. In a supinated foot, there is often not enough shock absorption.
