Hip Pain
If you suffer from hip pain, it is best to have it properly diagnosed by a medical physician that specializes in the hips and lower extremity.
The feet can have a very good effect on the hip if the feet are properly positioned. As the foot rotates as it hits the ground while we walk, that rotation travels up through the lower leg, the knees, the thigh bone and eventually reaches the hip region. This rotation may be a very small amount at the foot, but by the time the rotation reaches the hip, the amount of rotation is increased by more than what actually exists at the foot.
Therefore, if the foot is stabilized, the amount of rotation at the hip is decreased, allowing the hip to function in a proper manner reducing pain, stress and offering better balance as well.
