Keep your joints happy while you pound the pavement 🏃♀️
in New York City, knee pain, especially when the onset is a new activity, is often caused by alignment issues stemming from our foundation, the feet."If the feet are not transferring ground reaction forces properly up the chain, alignment is thrown off, and knee concerns arise."Often alignment issues are caused by the fact that the left and right lower limbs are different lengths, and as the body adjusts to this over time, it has negative effects on the lower body joints.
"Wet the bottoms of your feet and step on a sheet of paper, making a footprint. If the wet print shows the entire bottom of your foot, it’s likely that you have a low or flat arch. This is known as overpronation. If you see about half of the middle section of your arch on the paper, you probably have arches that are medium, or more typical in height, this is a neutral foot type.
Dr. Lubin agrees, saying all sneakers are not created equal. People with a neutral arch strike the floor with their heels, then while you roll towards the toes, your arch lightly collapses inward absorbing the impact. The shock of hitting the ground is dissipated to the foot and not up to the knees. People who are overpronators have flat arches. This means that the arch of your foot stretches inward too much, and it collapses, sending the impact with the ground up the legs to the knees, which then causes inflammation. Supinators have very high arches so they don’t flex enough to provide adequate shock absorption during running or walking. This foot type generally creates extra strain on the ligament connecting your heel and toes, known as the plantar fascia causing both foot and knee pain.
