Good Arches Mean Better Running

The foot striking in running compresses and release the arch of the foot like a spring, contributing to your running power. Even a slight reduction in the compression and release of the arch can significantly lessen the efficiency of your running.
Many orthotics hinder this springing motion. Proper orthotic arch support should allow for the springing motion and not overly compress the force.
In our office I use a combination of foot manipulation & myofascial (muscle and connective tissue) release by hand and using tools to restore normal pliability to the feet. When necessary we use specialized orthotics that support good arch springing dynamics. This approach has helped hundreds of runners over the years.
