Wellness Biomechanics™

Exercise and healthy function plays an important role in our holistic lives and well being and in acculturating to a longer and more productive lifetime, we find ourselves suffering from more foot and postural deformity, pain and overuse syndromes and performance and quality of life issues that need to be addressed. 

Many years ago, mankind clustered their homes, work and play areas and created hard unyielding ground surfaces and hard, unyielding shoe boxes in order for us to navigate and efficiently and safely.  That called for different biomechanics than those used when living on soft, more uneven terrain, without shoes.

This led to a biomechanical shift from an active, centered foot and posture to the current inactive and off-centered foot and postural function.  The hard ground and confines of our shoes have caused atrophic changes and disuse of the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments of the feet and posture generationally.  

Today, most shoes and footbeds fail to support, leverage, power and train the muscle engines of the foot and are a major participant in producing the very problems they claim to have been developed to overcome.  We need a new way of evaluating the foot and posture in order to re-establish Foot Centering into our lives.  That paradigm is Wellness Biomechanics™

                                                      Wellness Biomechanics™

Wellness Biomechanics studies the human lower extremity as it relates to ground contact and function of the foot and postural segments.  It seeks to balance pedal and postural segments while providing healthier closed chain function, efficiently. 

Since feet, like snowflakes differ in their strengths and weaknesses, Wellness Biomechanics™ profiles feet into common functional foot types that allows for custom care of all feet by determining where they fail, individually. It then provides the reinforcement needed to train the bones and their muscle engines to support, power and perform more efficiently throughout ones lifetime by using Custom Foot Centrings that like the training of a ballerina en pointe, trains the feet and posture to a stronger and more efficient state through centering.

Instead of “pathology and pain dependent” biomechanics (Allopathic Medicine) that waits for problems to develop before caring, Wellness Biomechanics™ treats integratively, preventively and proactive. begins by diagnosing and treating underlying inherited familial and patient specific biomechanical pathology by supporting and balancing the foot priming the muscle engines of the foot to be strengthened and trained promising to establish a more self supporting and efficient method of function with less foot and postural pain, deformity and breakdown.

Foot type-specific Foot Centering Trainers™ allow the muscles engines of the foot to strengthen and leverage fostering a healthier, more balanced and efficient style of gait.  In addition, motor control and manual therapy and the ability to train and strengthen our muscle engines to be self supporting that fails when feet are not centered are all more successful when Wellness Biomechanical Care is added. 

In summary, Wellness Biomechanics™, using an Integrative Medical Model, leads to a more balanced, efficient and productive lifestyle for you and your family.

Wellness Biomechanics™ has been called “revolutionary” and “a welcome upgrade to Subtalar Joint Neutral Biomechanics” by patients and professionals alike.  Consult with a functional foot typing podiatrist today to step into a healthier tomorrow.
