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 your pronation type — whether your feet tend to roll outward (underpronate or supinate) or inward (overpronate), or are neutral — affects everything from joint alignment to what shoes work best for you.

Finding out what’s going on with your stride — what’s your pronation type?
Evaluating which lifestyle habits may be helping or hindering your stride.
