Overpronation is a LIE - Here’s Why

[@ChaseMountains]

holy shit this is a good approach. I just edited a video along the same lines, basically overpronation is a myth. When I was searching for images of flat feet on google for the thumbnail I saw you had a video. I watch your stuff all the time man, so I had to come and take a look. Anyway, I'm going to give these exercises a shot. Guys please listen to Zac and do the work! There are no muscles that pronate the foot, you got to pay attention to sensation in the foot and use gravity and your bodyweight to organise the foot! Hope that helps :)

Omg Zac!!! I needed this!

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!!

Perfect timing, I was gonna use a split squat to integrate my newly found right foot eversion, but these gentle dorsiflexion methods are doing exactly what I need! You're a rockstar, Zac!

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Happy to help!

$$$ I'll be using this video with my students for a lab activity! Great explanations and visuals, Zac.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

THANK you. When I first started running long distance years ago I remember being confused about why I couldn't find shoes that felt right because they were all designed for "over pronators".

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Makes a lot of sense!

[@ishikaasawa1598]

what if it's because of flat feet/collapsed arch? and only in one feet?

[@Rin-xy4tt]

Whoa whoa whoa what's going on with zac's teeth. Looking full shiny and all

[@ZacCupplesPT]

No more braces 🤗

[@prabha9028]

👍Great explanation,

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jaimethibodeaux6844]

Zac! Question: does a similar concept apply to supination too? My husband has Taylor’s bunions and has “high arches”

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Yes. It’s also an orientation, just the other way

[@andrewrae8064]

For the supine excercise do we pick the butt/low back off the ground? Or do we tuck and keep Lowbank on the ground?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

No tucking is involved. Just apply the foot pressure. If hips come Off eventually because of the foot pressure then that’s cool!

[@fallblossom5]

What if 'overpronation' is caused from very lax ankle joints?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Want to find positions where they start more supinated. Ramps are good here
