Your feet play a vital role in rebuilding your posture. Each time you take a step your foot initiates a movement pattern in your kinetic chain through your ankle, knee, hip, low back, spine, neck, and shoulders. If the foot is misaligned the entire kinetic chain has to compensate for it and create the beginning of an injury cycle that becomes painful, and decreases your mobility. Proper alignment of your feet allows you to maintain correct posture, faster speed, higher jumps, quicker stops, and less injuries in your lower body. The feet and the muscles in your lower leg should be carefully assessed and corrected from any flexibility or strength imbalances as a major step in reaching optimum health.
