#mendmonday ? your medial longitudinal arch is made up of bones, ligaments, and muscles that mainly sit on the inside part of your foot ? when you have a foot that over pronates or your arch “collapses,” not only are your foot and ankle affected, but everything up the kinetic chain (ie. your knee, hip, pelvis, low back) may also be affected ↕️⛓ orthotics can help to provide support to the things that can’t be changed (ie. your bones and ligaments). muscles on the other hand, can be changed ? you can make them stronger and you can train them to become more engaged so that they are better at accepting load when you move/walk/do life?♂️?️♀️?♀️ this helps reinforce the shape of your medial longitudinal arch and therefore aids in preventing injuries related to collapsed arches. not sure what specific exercises you can do to help ?♀️ unsure if you need orthotics? we are here to help ??♂️?♀️
