Pronation distortion syndrome

Pronation distortion syndrome is a common movement imbalance where the feet roll inward excessively (overpronation), leading to misalignment in the legs and hips. This altered alignment can cause the calf muscles to tighten, the arch to collapse, and the knees to turn inward. These changes may contribute to discomfort, poor posture, and increased risk of injuries such as shin splints or knee pain. Addressing this syndrome often involves corrective exercises, proper footwear, and stretching to restore normal foot and leg mechanics, promoting better movement and reducing strain on muscles and joints.
