Podcast 123: The Rear foot: Understanding your RearFoot type Apr 30, 2017

Show notes

Key tag words: foot types, rearfoot, forefoot, pronation, supination, shoe fit, forefoot varus, forefoot supinatus, rearfoot inversion, ankle rocker, injuries, rehab, corrective exercises Rearfoot varus and Rearfoot valgus. Knowing the anatomy of your rear foot and its anatomic and functional posturing can lead to many problems in anyone. If you do not know the rearfoot type and posturing, you will not understand the rest of the foot mechanics. Without this knowledge, you will not know the reason for midfoot or forefoot problems, not understand what shoe you are in, or even why the shoe, footbed, orthotic you have chosen is either not fixing your problems, or causing them. Join us on a journey down the rearfoot rabbit hole over the next hour. Plus a few funny stories to lighten the biomechanics-heavy dialogue.
