HEEL PAIN
As a foot flattens out on the ground, supporting
tissues that run along the bootom of the foot (the
plantar fascia) are stretched. If these forces are
excessive they can lead to stress and inflammation
of the tissues, causing pain under the heel when
weight is placed on the foot.
KNEE PAIN
As the foot flattens out on the ground, the leg turns
slightly to follow the movement of the foot. If the
movement of the foot causes the leg to turn further
than the knee can comfortably accommodate, the
resulting forces on the knee may lead to stress and pain.
BACK PAIN
As the foot flattens, legs turn inward. Excess inward
turning of the legs put stress on the bones in the hip,
pelvis and lower back region causing pain and stiffness
in the lower back.
