Greetings!  
  
With the recent warm weather, I see many more of us are outside exercisng, chasing after our kids and generally enjoying the sunshine.  As we gear up for Spring and Summer activities, we will be spending more time on our feet. 
 
Too often, we can get so busy, we overlook the fact that proper foot support can give us more energy and greatly reduce some of those aches and pains we feel after a hard day of play.
 
This month, I'd like to tell you more about an exciting new product line that we offer to help you achieve proper support for your feet.  I'd also like to share one of my favorite recipes and finally introduce you  quickly to a new website...
Is your body correctly aligned?
Find out for yourself:
 
Step One
 
Stand barefoot in shorts or underwear - in front of a full-length mirror so that you can see from your knees down to your feet.  Stand in a relaxed, normal position, facing the mirror.  Close your eyes.  March in place about 10 steps to position your feet naturally.
 
Do either or both feet flare outward?
Do either or both feet point inward?
Are either or both kneecaps off center?
 
Step two:
Stand sidewards (first left, then right)
 
Do either or both feet appear "flat" with no arch support?
Do either or both feet appear extra high in the arch area?
 
If you answered "yes" to any of the above,
your feet are not providing proper support
for your body.   Call us, we can help.
Solution: Spinal Pelvic Stabilizer Support 
A body that is out of balance can be causing you pain anywhere from your feet all the way up to your neck.  Custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers are specially made for your feet and for your unique postural condition.
 
The joints in your body that bear weight (ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, low back, neck) are like links in a chain.  If your feet aren't balanced, every joint (and the connecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments) above may become injured over time due to unnatural twists and strains on your body.  Pain may occur because of these postural imbalances.

In addition, every time your feet hit the ground, a shock wave travels all the way through your body.  If your feet are balanced, they can absorb much of that shock.  But if they're not in balance, over time the shock can cause you additional stress and strain.
 
As you can see it's important to make sure your feet are giving you the proper support and protection your whole body needs.  If they're not, it's time to ask us for help to determine whether Foot Levelers' Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers could help you.
