Your stride matters!
Is something hurting when you walk or run? Maybe its sore feet, aching knees, or just a sense that your body feels “off.”
Whether you’re an everyday walker, a runner, returning from injury, or noticing changes with age, the issue could be your stride — specifically, how your foot moves through each step. This natural movement is called pronation.
And here’s the key: your pronation type — whether it’s underpronation (also known as supination), overpronation, or neutral pronation — affects everything from joint alignment to what shoes work best for you.
