A strong, well balanced, and healthy foot is a marvel of modern engineering! Your foots arch is critical to its correct function. Your arch is composed of many specifically shaped and aligned bones.

Standing, walking, running and jumping are all activities that put a great deal of stress on the arches of your feet. Around an estimated 3–4 times your body weight with each step!

Unfortunately like many natural wonders your feet will tend to succumb to the pressures of gravity and weight-bearing over many years of use.

Over time your arches can drop leading to poor joint alignment or subluxation. Subluxations in the arch lead to extra tension and strain being applied to the underlying structures. Ligaments, tendons, joint capsules, muscles and nerves are all affected by this process that takes time to occur and time to repair.

Your body can and will cope with arch collapse over time. However some people can't tolerate this arch collapse and feel pain in their feet, knees, hips and even lower back. It is in these cases that our team trained in the effective and gentle art of foot mobilisation can assess, address and for many resolve the pain this process causes.
