Most shoes change the gait by causing the stride length to become abnormally longer. This causes an abnormal heel strike—hitting the ground farther back on the heel. It’s especially a problem during running, as the longer stride places more shock through the foot and into the knee, and occurs despite shoe cushioning or what is commonly called a “heel crash pad.” Barefoot movement does not cause the same stress.
The notion that some people are “pronators” while others are “supinators” is a gross oversimplification that fitness magazines, shoe stores, and footwear manufacturers foist upon the public in an attempt to sell shoes. It’s mostly all marketing hype. Everyone pronates and supinates. The reason some people excessively pronate or supinate is more often from wearing over-supported shoes, which cause muscle imbalance. This is especially a problem in children whose feet need to properly develop without shoes.
More importantly, an attempt to “help” a poorly functioning foot with a particular type of shoe or orthotic insert is an example of treating symptoms; most cases of foot dysfunction are usually due to muscle imbalance. Keeping the foot in a rigid, immobile position can actually promote foot imbalance by not allowing the body to naturally correct the problem. --by Dr. Phil Maffetone
Pose zei:
How do you change pronation? It's not an easy fix but it's definitely doable.
From Dr. Romanov's point of view pronation is ultimately about incorrect movement, which in it's turn is brought on by either weak feet, ankles, legs or plain genetics (blame your mom and dad). Regardless of the origin, it can be improved, though for some it could be more difficult.
The 2 simplest steps we can take towards correcting pronation are:
1. Walk barefoot a lot (or in socks if floor of your abode is cold)
2. Jump rope barefoot.
While doing both of those things, focus on ball of foot landing (but don't tiptoe). You literally must teach yourself to place your foot correctly. It won't happen right away, but just like we all can eventually learn to write with either right or left hand if we wanted to, we can re-learn to place our feet correctly)
Plan is naar daar lopen, zwemtje doen en teruglopen.
