It is estimated that approximately 75 percent of the population suffer from “excess pronation” due to the unnatural, hard surfaces we walk on daily. Excess pronation often disrupts normal knee function and hip alignment and increases strain on the lower back muscles. These problems are common in all types of patients, from children to the elderly and from top athletes to people living sedentary lifestyles.
