BIOMECHANICS is the study of the body in motion; the foot is the most amazing piece of body engineering, supporting thirty-three joints, twenty-eight bones and over a hundred ligaments. It is a mobile adapter allowing us to walk over different surfaces ranging from cobbled streets to flat surfaces, then by acting as a rigid lever having the ability to propel the body over the foot in motion.

We walk an average of 7500+ steps per day with two and a half times our body weight going through our feet every day. If the relationship between feet and body breaks down this can manifest directly as foot and ankle pain, or it can cause secondary symptoms in the joints and muscles of the leg, knee, pelvis and lower back.

If the tracking on your car is out of alignment the tyres wear badly, therefore correcting the tracking helps the tyres to wear more evenly. The same principle applies to the foot. Realign the foot with an orthotic and uneven wear and tear can be helped.
