Correct Overpronation with Bio-balance Anti-pronation Insoles

Overpronation occurs when feet hit the ground at an awkward, outward angle. The ankles turn outward and the feet and ankles support the full weight of the body without the much needed support of the arches. In this position, the skeletal and muscular structures are unable to support weight and absorb impact the way in which they were intended. The result is intense foot pain which can lead to joint, skeletal and lower body problems later on.

The causes of overpronation are varied. In most cases, overpronation is a hereditary condition that is present at birth, but it can develop at any time. The following are some of the most common causes of overpronation:

• Heredity
• Weakened muscles due to aging, straining
• Wearing high heeled shoes
• Wearing shoes without arch support

The first sign of overpronation is pain in the arch of the foot. Gradually, the arch drops until the foot has a flat-footed appearance. People with overpronation often walk on the inside edge of their feet. The body becomes misaligned and painful conditions can develop if overpronation is not treated. Conditions such as: heel spurs, ankle sprains, hip pain, lower back pain and arthritis.

In most cases, overpronation can be treated by wearing the proper shoes and taking advantage of the support offered by Bio-balance anti-pronation insoles. Bio-balance anti-pronation insoles help the feet hit the ground at a proper angle by providing a shock absorbing, slanted surface. The insoles slant from the center to the side and align the feet properly thus reducing pronation. Bio-balance anti-pronation insoles will fit into most types of shoes and can be worn on a daily basis.

You should also avoid wearing high heels and only wear shoes that offer proper arch support. If your shoes do not support your arches correctly, you will need to purchase arch support insoles. Remember; conditions of the feet can affect the whole body. Make sure you wear the proper gear to protect your feet.
