After seeing such dramatic results, I shared my experience with my family. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into a powerful realization about how common—and overlooked—foot pronation really is.
When I spoke with my dad, he told me he had been dealing with shin splints for years while simply walking to stay healthy. He never experienced foot pain and assumed the discomfort was just part of aging or activity. Upon closer discussion, it became clear that both of his feet pronated.
I then talked with my brother, who had been dealing with right knee pain during walks. With a vacation to Italy coming up in just one month, he was worried about how his knee would hold up during long days of sightseeing. Like me, his pronation was primarily on the right side. And like my dad, he never felt pain in his feet.
Three people. Three different symptoms—hip pain, shin splints, and knee pain. One shared foundational issue. This highlighted something critical: pronation doesn’t always hurt where it occurs. The feet may feel fine, but the compensations show up elsewhere in the body depending on activity, asymmetry, and individual biomechanics.
That realization led to an even bigger clinical takeaway.
