A Lot of Twisting Where There Shouldn’t be Any!

UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL MISALIGNMENTS AT A GLANCE

OVERPRONATION:

The foot in the image (on the left) is over pronated, rolling too far inward. Some pronation is normal but when it is excessive it can cause any number of issues affecting the body.

FROM FOOT PRONATION TO A TWISTED KNEE:

To support the weight now being put on the inside of the foot, the knee starts to turn inward, creating excessive torque and strain on the knee structures.

TWISTED KNEE TO ROTATED PELVIS:

To try to keep the knee from twisting, the pelvis follows the knee, rotating inward and pulling the lower back with it. The lower back is connected to the spine which then twists unnaturally, taking the shoulders, neck and jawbone with it.
