Overpronation
Overpronation isn't just a foot problem - it's about how your entire body moves. When your foot rolls inward too much with each step, it can create a domino effect of stress through your legs, knees, and back. At The Orthotics Clinic we conduct an advanced biomechanical assessment to understand your unique foot mechanics and provide targeted support.
Imagine your foot as a complex machine with a natural pivot point. In overpronation, this pivot point shifts slightly inward, causing your foot to roll too far inward when you walk or run. It's like your foot's natural shock-absorbing mechanism is working overtime, which can lead to extra strain on your muscles, tendons, and joints.
Signs & Symptoms
At The Orthotics Clinic, we often see patients with overpronation experiencing a range of symptoms. If you notice any of the following, you may be dealing with overpronation:
Pain and Discomfort

These symptoms can vary from person to person. If you’re experiencing any of these signs, we recommend booking a consultation. Early detection and proper treatment can prevent long-term complications and improve your overall foot health and comfort.
