Do you often experience nagging knee pain? The solution might be simpler than you think.

While arch supports and knee braces offer temporary relief, they often mask the underlying issue: weak foot muscles.

Overpronation, or excessive inward rolling of the foot, can trigger a chain reaction that travels up your legs, stressing your knees.

Recognize the Signs:

• Do your feet roll inward excessively when you walk or run?

• Do you have flat feet or fallen arches?

• Do you experience frequent ankle sprains or foot fatigue?

Strengthen Your Foundation:

• Ditch the arch supports: They can weaken foot muscles over time.

• Invest in minimalist shoes: Allow your feet to move naturally and build strength.

• Go barefoot: Start by ditching shoes inside your house.

• Perform foot-strengthening exercises: Target the muscles that support your arches.

Embrace barefoot living as much as possible. Your feet (and knees!) will thank you.
