How To Tell If Your Feet are Pronated Or Supinated.

Показать описание
If you’ve never considered how your feet and ankles are positioned throughout your daily life today is the day! Do your feet roll inward (pronation) or outward (supination)? Do you even pay attention?
Draw a line on the back of your ankle, like in the video. Set up a camera behind you- prop it up on a water bottle, a book, anything! Record yourself. Walk around and then stand facing away from the camera. Just stand in your normal position, don't give any thought to it!
Another way to test this is to grab a pair of shoes that you wear a lot and look at the pattern of wear on the shoe. Where is the primary wear on the shoe?
If you tend to roll inward (pronate), you will see more wear on the inside of your shoe’s soles, you may be more likely to have flat feet, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, stress fractures, and runner’s knee. If you roll outward (supination) you are in the minority, as overpronation is most common. You may be more likely to have high arches tight Achilles, and IT band syndrome.
Everyone will pronate or supinate to some degree. Few people will be perfectly balanced, but the idea is to limit the degree of pronation or supination. If you are a runner or an athlete think about the amount of repetitive impact being placed on the feet and ankles. It’s worth figuring out how yours line up and working to improve them, especially if you struggle with pain or injuries!
