As you walk, the arch of your foot acts as a shock absorber transmitting the body’s weight evenly throughout the foot. Jogging and running multiply the pressures on the foot up to 4 times your body weight. Problems in the foot/ankle alignment may be responsible for knee, hip, and back pain. At Active Physical Therapy we evaluate the biomechanics of the foot/ankle complex to determine if the problem is structural, muscular, or proprioceptive and then build a personalized rehabilitation program to address the problem and get you back into your active lifestyle.
