When your knee, hip, or back hurts, your feet may not be the first place you think to look. You may schedule a visit with an orthopedic specialist, physical therapist, or chiropractor. You may try stretching, strengthening exercises, massage, or medication. But sometimes, an important part of the equation is happening much farther down the body: Your feet. Your feet are the foundation of your movement. Every step you take creates a chain of motion that travels from your feet and ankles through your knees and hips and into your pelvis and lower back. When foot biomechanics are altered, the way forces are distributed throughout that chain can change.
