Flattened arches in your feet can cause the buttock muscles
to stop firing which can lead to an unstable low back.

The hip flexors in the groin must now overwork to compensate
for the buttock muscles going on vacation and no longer working.

This feels like a groin strain which limits mobility in the hips, causing pain in the hips and this continues to inhibit the buttock muscles from working/firing.

Unstable low backs are easily injured with simple tasks like stepping down from the sidewalk!

Some overuse injuries in the feet and mechanical foot pain on walking is an attempt for your feet to assist in stabilizing your hips and low back.

It is imperative with chronic hip and low back pain, not responding to care, that the feet get assessed and corrected from the ground up!

One, we are spending more time indoors and at home and many people don’t wear shoes inside. Without proper shoes and arch support; people are more likely to strain their arch and put increased stress on the ligaments, tendons and the balls of the foot.

Walking barefoot, or with socks or house slippers can put you at increased risk for foot problems including plantar fasciitis, tendinitis and metatarsalgia. It is recommended you wear house shoes to provide much needed support and cushioning for your feet at home.

Secondly, we are now more active with walking and hiking as our activity of choice to be social, see friends and exercise with gyms closed. Increased walking and activity can exacerbate underlying overuse injuries in the feet. Any mechanical foot pain should be diagnosed and treated if it persists.

Please give us a call if you need a comprehensive Pedorthic Foot Assessment.
