Oak, have you tried a sports podiatrist?Originally Posted by OakLeaf
I'm so confused.
My massage therapist assures me that the structural variations in my feet cannot be corrected by strengthening muscles - and in fact they cause muscle imbalances all up my legs, hips and back. Whether that's a consequence of the orthopedic shoes they put me in as a child, or whether the shoes really were warranted, is moot now that I'm fully grown.
Then you have the school of thought expressed in your link, also espoused by Chi Running, Jolie Bookspan, and Yoga. Which is very appealing to me.
I just don't know who to believe or how to manage my super-high arches with super-sized pronation.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
