Foot pain rarely stays in the feet. When the arches collapse and the foot stops absorbing shock, stress travels upward into the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Restoring proper foot posture helps the entire body move the way it was designed to—reducing strain, improving alignment, and supporting long‑term comfort.
East Valley Orthotics provides medical‑grade, handcrafted, MASS‑posture, precision‑calibrated custom orthotics designed to restore natural foot function and improve shock absorption. Many common conditions respon d extremely well to improved foot biomechanics over time.
Foot & Ankle Conditions
Heel pain often develops when the arch collapses and the plantar fascia is overstretched. Supporting the arch in MASS posture helps reduce strain on the fascia and improves shock absorption with each step.
When the arch drops, the foot loses its natural spring. MASS‑posture orthotics help restore the foot’s structural shape and improve how the body handles gravity.
Excessive inward rolling of the foot can overload joints, tendons, and ligaments. Correcting foot posture helps distribute forces more evenly.
Collapsed arches shift pressure toward the forefoot. Restoring arch height helps redistribute weight across the entire foot.
Nerve irritation between the metatarsal bones often worsens when the forefoot is overloaded. Improving arch posture reduces compression in the front of the foot.
Bunions often develop when the arch collapses and the big toe joint is forced out of alignment. Supporting the foot in MASS posture helps reduce the forces that contribute to bunion progression.
Toe deformities frequently develop when the arch collapses and the toes are forced to grip for stability. Improving foot posture reduces the need for compensatory toe gripping.
When the arch collapses, the big toe joint can jam and wear down over time. Restoring proper foot posture helps reduce joint stress.
Knee, Leg & Hip Conditions
When the foot rolls inward, the knee often follows. Improving foot alignment helps reduce rotational stress on the knee.
Poor shock absorption can overload the muscles and tissues along the shin. Supporting the arch helps the foot absorb more impact.
Overpronation can cause the leg to rotate inward, increasing tension along the IT band. Improving foot posture helps reduce strain on the outer knee and thigh.
Back & Postural Conditions
When the feet fail to absorb shock, the spine often compensates. Restoring proper foot posture helps improve overall alignment and reduces unnecessary stress on the lower back.
Why So Many Conditions Improve With Better Foot Function
Why So Many Conditions Improve With Better Foot Function
Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments—and they’re designed to act as the body’s primary shock absorbers. When the arches collapse, the entire kinetic chain is affected.
MASS‑posture, calibrated custom orthotics help by:
Supporting the foot in its optimal structural shape
Improving shock absorption
Reducing excessive joint motion
Helping the body move more efficiently
Distributing pressure across the entire foot
Improved foot function often leads to improved comfort throughout the body.
