Excessive pronation (or flat feet) is very common symptom amongst the population. If not treated there is a risk of developing arthritis or other problems.

Pronation is a bit of a buzz word used within shoe shops and among allied health professionals.  Feet pronate as a normal part of the gait pattern.  Those who have little pronation can have foot symptoms. Those who excessivley pronate can also have symptoms.

At Heather Bassett Podiatry Group we assess to see the range of motion in the feet and then to look at why there is excessive movement at particular joints. If there is abnormailities at any of your joints we can use many different treatment options to manage your foot. Treatment may include stretching, exercises and the use of orthotic devices.
