How Foot Health Impacts Posture

Feet are the foundation of your body’s alignment, and poor foot support can lead to an imbalance in your posture. This imbalance can cause strain on the lower back, leading to pain and discomfort over time.

Steps to Improve Posture and Relieve Back Pain

• Wear Arch-Supportive Shoes: Shoes that support your natural arch can reduce pressure on the spine and promote better posture.
• Use Orthotic Inserts: Custom or over-the-counter orthotic insoles can provide extra stability and align the feet properly.
• Practice Posture Exercises: Strengthening core muscles and practicing posture-focused exercises can enhance alignment and reduce strain.
