Postural Analysis at The Healing Clinic: Your Feet are your Foundation!

Even if your feet don’t hurt, they may be a major factor contributing to your health problems. A foot problem may be the cause of discomfort or pain in your leg, knee, hip, back, shoulder, or even your neck!

As can be seen in the picture below, the body is a biomechanical kinetic chain. If there are abnormal movements in one area, these can interfere with proper movements at other joints.

Take This Test:

1. Do you stand or walk on hard surfaces for more than 4 hours daily?
2. Do you participate regularly in any physical sport (basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, etc.)?
3. Are you age 40 or over?
4. Have you had a prior injury to your knee, back, or neck?
5. Do your shoes wear unevenly?
6. Do you have joint pain while standing, walking, or running?
7. Is one of your legs shorter than the other?
8. Do you have knock knees or bow legs?
9. Do you have obvious foot problems (bunions, corns, flat feet, etc.)?
10. Do your feet "toe out" when you’re walking?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, custom-made, flexible orthotics may be part of the solution to your health problems.

The Foot Levelers Associate™ Platinum scanner allows us to examine your feet and each foot’s three arches, then show you a colour photo of your feet where your may have issues that could affect the rest of your body, and if need be, recommend Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers made exclusively for you!

A digital scan only takes a few minutes to do and helps our practitioners screen for imbalances that contribute to problems in any number of places, like your knees, hips, and low back. From the digital foot scan any areas of abnormal pressure can be seen which could show an imbalanced distribution of weight between the feet indicating a fatigue of one of the three arches in the foot.
