Walking. Running. Jumping. Your body is in motion a significant portion of every day, from a wide array of activities at work to evening workouts in the local gym. And your feet are usually in on the action, supporting the body's weight in an intricate balancing act of skill and coordination. This overall process, which involves the interplay of the body's many muscles, bones, and nerves - from those in the toes to those of the neck and head - is called biomechanics. Problems in biomechanics are directly responsible for much of the discomfort you may be experiencing.
Improper Balance and Function can lead to:
Excessive rotation of the tibia and femur, stressing the knee and twisting the pelvis and spine.
Tilting of the pelvis which places tension on muscles and connective tissues, eventually resulting in chronic back problems.
High levels of heel-strike shock from breakdown of the body's natural "shock absorbers." The shock wave then transmits up the kinetic chain, resulting in painful symptoms up to the head, slowed recovery of leg and spine injuries, and aggravation of other conditions.

Build a Stable Foundation
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.
It's a chain reaction.
Healthcare professionals know 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 which is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. See? It's a chain reaction.
