Pronation of the ankle/foot has often been expressed as something that may be unfavorable. Shoes to limit pronation have been constructed to attempt to reduce pronation.
The reality is that a pronated foot is a propulsive foot that we require to produce force into the ground to prevent collapse. It is merely excessive pronation that we want to avoid, manage, or control.
Athletes and clients with the perception of weak ankles, ankle instability, or ongoing ankle pain often have difficulty recapturing the position of the propulsive foot. In this video, I’ll show you a “Big Bang” ankle and foot mobilization to improve calcaneal eversion, subtalar pronation, and midtarsal mobility while simultaneously feeding back positional information to the lower extremity and axial skeleton.
