understanding supination
Imagine your foot striking the ground, but instead of evenly distributing the impact, your foot rolls outward too much. This is supination, or underpronation, a condition where the natural outward roll of the foot during a step is exaggerated. While some degree of supination is normal during movement, excessive supination can lead to uneven pressure distribution, increasing the risk of ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, and discomfort in the knees and hips. It's as if your body's natural shock absorbers are misaligned, leading to potential wear and tear on other parts of the musculoskeletal system. Supination problems highlight a disruption in the body's harmonious movement patterns, signaling a need for corrective measures to realign and balance the body's dynamics.
simple, at home treatments for supination
Supportive Footwear: Opting for shoes that provide ample cushioning and support, especially on the outer edge of the foot, can help counterbalance the effects of supination. It's about giving your feet the right base to distribute your body weight more evenly.
​
Orthotic Inserts: Using orthotic inserts designed for supination can aid in correcting the excessive outward roll, providing targeted support where it's needed most. Consider these inserts as custom tools for fine-tuning your foot's mechanics.
​
Flexibility and Strengthening Exercises: Incorporating exercises that enhance the strength and flexibility of the foot, ankle, and lower leg muscles can improve your overall foot mechanics, reducing the strain caused by supination. It's akin to reinforcing the structural integrity of a building to ensure it withstands various stresses.
