High arches (rigid supinators) restrict pronation during early stance, blocking the hip internal rotation needed for efficient weight transfer and glute loading in terminal stance.
​

Gait rotation coupling
Initial contact–midstance: Hip internally rotates 10–15° as body advances over stance foot, coupling with subtalar pronation (eversion 4–6°) for shock absorption.
Terminal stance: Supination rebounds (inversion 2–5°) + relative hip external rotation aligns femur for propulsion. Rigid high arches skip pronation → premature supination → limited hip IR range.

Tight hip compensation
Limited hip IR (

🦶 Plantar Fasciitis – Why Your Heel Hurts

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of rest.

🔍 What’s happening biomechanically?

The plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue running from the heel bone (calcaneus) to the toes

Its job is to support the arch and act like a spring during walking and running

Repetitive loading, poor foot mechanics, or reduced shock absorption cause micro-tears near the heel attachment

📍 Why pain is felt at the heel

Maximum stress occurs where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone

In chronic cases, the body may lay down extra bone → heel spur (often a result, not the cause)

🚶 Common contributors

Excessive pronation or very stiff high arches

Tight calves & Achilles tendon

Prolonged standing or sudden increase in activity

Poor footwear or reduced foot strength

🧠 Key takeaway
Plantar fasciitis is a load-management and movement problem, not just a foot issue.
Improving calf flexibility, foot strength, and walking mechanics is crucial for long-term relief.

📌 Treat the cause, not just the pain.

Your footwear can either make or damage your feet. The structure, process and fit of a shoe can impact the way you step and absorb ground reaction forces.
Relying on the function of your feet and the nature of your lifestyle various footwear may be fitted to you. We suggest you consult one of our podiatrists for a biomechanical assessment to determine the way you walk and move on your feet.
A foot-wear assessment and fit can then be prescribed for your convenience. Usually, a prescription may also be provided to take to a professional shop to attain the ideal shoes for your feet.
