What is pronation and supination?
Pronation is the natural rolling-in motion of the foot. Supination is the natural rolling-out motion of the foot. Their function aids natural shock absorption, balance, co-ordination and propulsion of the body. From foot contact to toe-off the feet display differing degrees of pronation to supination along the length of the feet. Too much of either can cause discomfort and possibly injury in the knees, hip and back. The combination of correct footwear and custom insole will give the optimum balance between pronation and supination, supporting the body comfortably and efficiently.
