Foundation of Your Body
Your
feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run and they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues
from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when
all their muscles, arches and bones are in their ideal stable
positions.
The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body.
If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads to further compromise.
It's a chain reaction
Dr. Brian Cho and other health professionals know that alleviating pain
in one part of
your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in
your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is
caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. This imbalance may
translate up your foot into the ankles, knees, hips, back and all the
way up the kinetic chain into your neck, thereby affecting your balance
and posture and any one or more of these areas on your body. It's a chain
reaction.
