Biomechanical Assessment Centre - Feet can cause us real pain and we may not even know it!
Did you know that on average two and a half our body weight goes through our feet nine and half thousand times a day. We then walk on hard flat surfaces for which our bodies are not designed. So it's hardly surprising that we suffer from stress and pain.
We have only one pair of feet and they take us everywhere. So it's a god idea to take care of them.
But most of us don't give our feet a second thought
...that is until they hurt
Once our feet are hurting most of us have no idea how to eliminate the pain. Untreated this can lead to long term problems. Many foot problems are the result of a faulty relationship between the bones and muscles of the foot.
Misalignment can result in a number of problems, commonly flat feet, over pronation, persistent ankle sprains, bunions, corns, calluses…
…even symptoms that one would not normally associate with feet such as STRESS AND PAIN (in blue) in the back, neck, hip and knees.
As the saying goes the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone and the hip bone is connected to… and so on. In other words if thee is a problem with our feet it could cause stress and pain elsewhere.
