Powerstep Orthotics Control Pronation

Posted on May 15, 2011May 15, 2011 by Matt Behnke

Powerstep Orthotic Insoles are touted as the “Podiatrist’s Prescription for Pain Relief” as thousands of podiatrists recommend Powerstep orthotics to their patients to control foot pronation.

What is Pronation?

Pronation is turning of the sole of the foot outward so that the inner edge of the foot bears the weight when standing. Excessive pronation does not allow the foot to supinate (land flat) and stabilize its movement, creating many foot problems. Powerstep Orthotics Control Foot Pronation
