Are you worried about your child's flat feet? I have helped several families of kids with flat feet find out the degree of their child's pronation. This video will show you images and videos with several real life examples. Pronation can be divided in 3 categories, mild, moderate, or strong, and depending on the degree of your child's pronation you will might need to get supportive shoes, orthotics, or both.
We all have a certain degree of pronation, the issue arises when that pronation becomes excessive, which is usually referred to as overpronation. Usually, when children experience overpronation their foot muscles are shifted in an inefficient position and that’s when we would get concerned about it.
Be Proactive and Don’t Take the “Wait and See Approach”
Moderate and strong pronation can shift your child’s body out of alignment and affect your child’s walking gait and overall posture. Once the feet are pronated, your child’s knees and hips also become misaligned. This means that the muscles that move those joints no longer work efficiently, and it will take more energy for your child to do the same work as other children who don’t have this condition.
If after watching the video you are still unsure about the degree of your child's pronation, I suggest that you read this resource: fittingchildre...
