I've just realized this week why my ankles, knees, and feet are hurting and aching. My primary doctor said "welcome to being almost 50 years old because arthritis is giving you a preview".. Then he suggested orthotics. Other YT videos gave animated descriptions. But you are the 1st to illustrate pronation/flat feet in real time. Your detailed explanations while modeling what the body looks like before and after problems with pronation are so appreciated. I know you uploaded this 2yrs ago, but I just want to thank you for showing viewers what Pronation should and should not look like. Thank you!
Thanks for following along and you are welcome! There is definitely something that you can do about your issues. Let us know if you have any more questions :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
wow. I never comment to videos, but you've probably saved me from knee pain and many other problems I suffered from and I would in my life. I'm 24 and have terrible pain in my back, knees, and legs when walking for a while. No doctor was ever able to address and explain the reason - THANK YOU! It's a life changer
out of all the therapists on youtube you are the only one that has actually explained my issue and how to fix it. Thank you. You have gained a subscriber.
i never even knew this was a thing, all i knew was that i always walked weirdly and people used to point it out a lot which made me so insecure, also i can’t walk in a straight line fornsome reason so i will be trying this! thank you
My physiotherapist said that my slight pain in the knee is due to pronation, I wanted to learn more about it. And your explanation is simply fantastic ! I never knew that it is a very common problem. Thanks a ton for explaining in detail 👏👏👏👏
I have been searching for some supportive insoles lately thinking that they would solve my problem. So glad I watched this video first before buying anything!!!
The only reason I noticed it is because I kept hitting things and felt like i couldn’t control it I think I’ll go thank my family for at least telling me something was going on
This is the best explanation overpronation I’ve ever seen/heard. Thank you! I’be been running in stability shoes with inserts for a decade not knowing I could potentially correct some of this! 🤯
Me too. I’m here because I was going through our Vivint security footage from our outdoor cameras ... and I suddenly thought, “Oh my gosh! Is that how I walk?! Have I always walked like this?!” 😂🙈 I need to fix this ASAP!
omg i ive been dealing with knee muscle pain related to activity i love rock climbing mountain biking hiking back packing. worked on a trail and fire crew and had to drop all my hobies and carreer to work in a factory losing my mind and after 11 months of physical therapy dr visits mri's they said they had no clue what was going on after finding these over pronation videos and playing with them things are getting better thank you!
Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I finally get it. Finally finally finally. Hip internal rotation has been my duck walk issue. Uneven wearing on my shoes all life long. No doubt about it. Been working on it for a good while now and shoe wear has been improving. Arches strengthen etc. Bun now I understand. Awesome! Thanks so much!!
I'm so thankful this video exists. It's a bit weird to learn that I was walking wrong though, but now I understand that doing leg and feet exercises isn't going to be enough in fixing my flat feet, and that I have to pay attention to all of the compensations I've learned to use and unlearn them. Many thanks!
bro ive had this for years and never realized what i had until i got into PTA school. Since then ive been assessing myself that my feet were a problem. And now i come across this video! I feel like my answers were revealed more clearly with this video lol
When I was a young boy my left foot turned in a little bit. Enough to have my mother notice and take me to the doctor's. The doctor said that I may need a boot to correct it. I was scared of being mocked at school so I consciously would force my left foot to angle "correctly" so it didn't appear that my foot was angling inward. Now that I'm jogging I'm finding pain and I'm sure now it's because of all these compensations I wasn't even aware I was doing anymore. This one video helped me understand what may be my issue and I will proceed to do some of the exercise drills. Thanks for being so thorough with your explanations just the video I needed.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve had overpronated feet my whole life and didn’t know what exactly was wrong with my feet until now that I’m experiencing pain in my foot and back. My parents never sent me to a podiatrist either since it wasn’t really causing any problems for me as a child. My left feet is shaped weird now since I never learned how to walked properly with overpronated feet. Idk if it’s too late to fix it with exercise but I’ll try anyways. So glad I came across this video before I started buying arch support. Really grateful for this video, you have no idea. :)

Broke my tib and fib 8 yrs ago and never fully rehabbed it so my foot overpronated leading to uneven hips and a number of other things.. this really helped thank you!
This was really informative. Thank you so much. I broke my right leg near the ankle when I was 20 (i'm 32 now) and did not do physical rehabilitation. The break was bad and put me out for about 6 months because I received a plate and seven screws on my right fibula. Because I did not do rehab, I had to relearn to walk by myself and I ended up with a fallen arch on my left foot, which has caused gait and pronation issues for years. I realized I was walking on the outside edges of my feet for a long time to compensate for the weakness of other muscles. Recently, I have developed issues with my hip on the right side, and my knees are slightly knocked. I hope that with your advice and information I can get myself back. I haven't been able to run or play hockey without form issues and discomfort for a long time. I miss the days when I was young and could run and play sports without a care in the world.
Oh my! You give THE BEST explanation and hope compared to anyone on RUclips! I’m finally hopeful to believe that I can be helped with my terrible feet!!! Thanks!
this is incredible depth and understanding of the problem! Thank you! I had a serious ankle injury years ago, had surgery and wore orthotics for my right foot for years been through PT, but I still have AI impingement and overpronation. it's frustrating because I know the orthotics aren't helping and most PTs don't look in-depth at my movement mechanics. This helps prove that mechanics matter. I switched to barefoot shoes and my left got much better and my right foot has improved, but still some issues persist.
I went to 6 different doctors, made 2 Walking Analysis this year after suffering under shin Splints and you Made the best Video to explain and Help me!!! Thanks!
ewigheim123 hey if you’re still suffering from shin splints I recommend working out. I suffered from shin splints my whole life, I couldn’t run or walk too much. I was told it was from weak muscles. When I started working out consistently the shin splints disappeared. Try doing calf raises. Hope it helps
I have a chronic deltoid ligament sprain and chronic ankle instability which caused overpronation in my right ankle which then caused my entire right side to be misaligned. I've been struggling with this pain for 3 years now and I'm only 22, I really like the information your video provided I hope your exercises can help solve my problems.
I’ve had unexpected issues with the back side of my heel. Pain only when I was walking especially when the foot was heading up. I thought it might have been some tension, but then I realized how misaligned my right foot was. Walking on the left side of the ball of my foot solved that pain. I just need to make this a permanent thing so I can get back to workouts. Thank you for the video!
@@PrecisionMovementCoachunny you should mention it. Not had problems for years but now I’m increasing my distance and speed I’m getting blisters/calluses on my big toes. I believe it’s caused by my rolling off my big toe due to overpronation. So now I’m back here trying to look at ways of reducing this hot spot so I can run longer without causing further problems
Thank you for making this video. I’ve seen many doctors about knee pain and hip pain mostly knee. I’ve been prescribed meds meds and shots and braces and xrays to deal with it… after researching BY MYSELF why my knees are inwards and shoes funny looking after wearing for a while. This is the problem. Again thank you for the educational video.
Yet another informative video, thanks! Lifetime runner here healing myself after a season of overuse and not enough focus on feet health. Headed over to your linked video now. Wishing you all the best!
I've had flat feet since I was little, and was always made to think that it is a deformity. Last year I discovered fore foot walking. I basically had to relearn how to walk, since modern walking is all wrong. But it it fixed all of my posture issues. I suddenly have arches for the first time in my life.
Your explanation on the cause is very true. I have flat feet and I wore supportive arch shoes for about 3 years. I wear them all the time. I dont have pain and flat feet any more. But then I realize that my arch muscles are extremely weak. Because the arch support is too good and my muscles were never used. And I have pronated feet now. No one told me that the arch support shoes are actually harming my feet.....
Thanks for such detailed information. I’ve learned a lot. I have extensive foot and ankle issues and I appreciate how specific you are and how you connect the dots ( or parts).
FINALLY! Someone who *actually* gets it! I don't want to rely on another expensive band aid (arch support 🐂💩) to correct my flat feet and overpronation, I want train and strengthen so I can use them correctly and permanently!!! Why don't podiatrists learn this???!!! It's not hard to understand your will atrophy if you rely on things like that! No thanks! I want to be able to stand barefoot in my home. Are you on TikTok? This is great 👍
So happy to find this video!! I’ve been having knee problems on left side and notice that my hip and glutes are uneven, muscles don’t appear to be activating on that left side. Also having shoulder and bicep issues. Backtracked on a dusty trail this evening and could see my externally rotated foot pattern with that left footprint! I walked on focusing on straightening that foot as I continued to hike. Now my big toe hurts, my knee is feeling uncomfortable….I really appreciate the in-depth explanation of the compensatory factors and look forward to your next video on how to remediate!

I had a bad ankle roll from skateboarding and i feel my arch has completely vanished and became something abnormal in the right foot, knee became inverted along the way after some passing months. I was hoping to tackle the root cause and this video changed my perspective on letting tedious injuries get in the way of a pain free lifestyle.
Thank you have just provided me the right tools to correct my gait. i am with fallen arches, presence of valgus, and when I was stair cases I struggles. The walking up has improved after correcting with ankle straps I have torn my hallucis ductus longus 10 years ago. Again while stretching the achilies I tore it again. This video after stretching I walk and cover movements that are part of stretchig exercise. Thank you so much for sharing.
I found out that the root cause for me was Achilles tendon inflexibility caused by tendonitis from working outdoors wearing very high, stiff boots for a long time. 10-15 mins/day of Achilles tendon & calf stretches, plus switching to barefoot shoes has helped a lot.
I am a personal trainer, been researching on ankle pronation because of one of my clients and this was a great video! thank you love! Also drunk part was pretty funny haha
Excellent…I started having pain in my glutes when squatting could not figure out why. Then I started looking at my feet and hip rotation and noticed my overpronation which I had no idea what was called until I watched this video. Thanks so much!!!!
dude, thank you so much. I've been dealing with weird foot/knee/leg pains for like 7 months now, & about 5 months ago i started feeling like my ankles were rolling inwards, knees rolling in, & feet splaying out. I know this sounds silly but its been a big source of depression & anixety since then because exercise is really important for my mental health & I've been practically bed ridden for months trying not to make it worse, & this along with binge eating and self esteem problems is a terrible combination. Plus the terrible anxiety that my feet & legs are becoming deformed, and the thought that it could be permanent & i may never be able to run or comfortably walk again. For a bit I thought it was PTTD, but a podiatrist told me that wasn't it, so it was just more confusion but after more research I found this & it really seems like it matches my problem. Gonna check out your exercises & drills to correct this, I can't express my gratitude enough cuz this could genuinely help get my life back on track, i feel like i have hope for the first time in a while. much love
This is basically me. Im 24 and this past summer a co worker of mine told me i need to get my feet check as my left boot was severly pronated. Never really felt pain or discomfort until i was conscious about the issue and now its given me anxiety and depression like you mentioned. Ive been going to a podiatrist and physical therapy but the podiatrist is a joke and hardly analyzes whats wrong. She just throws custom orthotics at my issue and leaves it at that. Im a carpenter and love what i do but i get anxiety because i feel with this issue i may not be able to do this work for much longer
i’ve sprained my ankles many times throughout my life having always played sports but ultimately never had problems. but about 3 years ago i twisted my ankle super hard and since then i’ve noticed my right ankle being a lot thicker than my left, my right foot pronates out right, i don’t have engagement in my right calf, and when walking it feels like my right leg entirely is jammed needless to say i NEEDED this video
Hey! Did he mention how it can be cured? He talked more about the causes and not the cure. Or did I miss something. Great explanation and correctly pointed out my everyday pain.
Whoever got this condition like I do, I got few suggestions for you. First, buy orthodics aligned with your foot measurements. It will relieve you from arch pain and feeling of your foot being split to two. Next is - go run on the beach barefoot. It will train your ankle muscles and will pervent your arch from collapsing. I am someone who experienced so much pain in my foot that it made me think twice before going to work or whatsoever. For those who feel exactly like me, I feel your pain. No one needs to feel like this anylonger. Go run barefoot on sand, wear orthodics and live happy!, achieve your dreams!
I’ve had this problem from playing soccer a lot when I was young passing the ball you actually over pronate your foot repeatedly which eventually leads to your foot staying in that overly pronated position… this caused hip pain on the affected side (piriformis) syndrome . ( the foot flares out , the knee rotates inward, with the femur which led to hip pain)
I had a bad fall down the stairs of my building and it tore up my R knee. I was in exceptional shape, rollerskating and doing ballet for exercise. After seeing an orthopede and being told it was probably just a torn meniscus, I went to about five different therapists because I could tell something was wrong when I was walking, not matter how carefully I focused on my heel to toe step. Not one would watch me walk. Had they done so, they would have seen my femur was going in a different direction from my foot and lower leg. I went to see my Alexander Technique practitioner, Clair Maxwell, and she could see that there was something mechanically wrong with my knee. There was nothing left inside. Just bone on bone. After three surgeries, including a total knee replacement, my L knee is now gone and I'm having to kind of learn to walk all over again.

My mind is awakened by the restricted hip IR causing the pronation. My feet feel strong. My quads are strong - I have lifted heavy weight for years. This is just such a fine balance.
Thank you, very useful information. I’m going to do your exercises and I’m going to wear the barefoot shoes , instead of conventional shoes. I’m pretty positive that those 2 things together will fix the problem.

Glad you enjoyed the explanation and video and it's an honour to be able to help you move freely and without pain! A million subscribers - that'd be great, appreciate you putting that intention out there. :-)
Wow! I have been to several doctors and physios and not one have them have suggested this. My right foot is facing outwards and the outside hits the floor first so it turns every time is hits the floor. My right hip is also very bad causing me sometimes to not even move and my right shoulder is giving me problems. And I come on and this. I ran in to tel my family. I found what’s wrong with me hahha. Thankyou and I will definitely be looking into the next steps. Great! Thankyou!
I have had lots of scans and an injection in my hip and after everything the doctor said ye there’s a small tear but your just going to have to live with the pain and manage it. There’s nothing we can do. No there is something!!!!
Hi Eric. So I’ve started the 6 week course to get started which Joshua suggested. I was wondering what to do next. Do I concentrate on the ankle or the hip. I am having terrible pain in hip. With your videos are they specific to my to my injury or do I just do all of them? Because surely some of them with cause me damage. Is it possible to do a consultation with you and mabye you could tell me exactly which exercises to do or do I just do all the excercises? I’m just looking for a little bit of guidance if that’s okay? Joshua has my email. Thanks
About 8 months ago I started wearing work boots with very high/stiff arch support.(Whites boots) The company advertises like the arch support is supposed to be really good for your foot health and better for long work days….. now watching this I realize that the boots are probably the cause of my right foot becoming pronated considering I’ve never had this problem ever before I started to wear boots with high arch support…. Thanks for the video you definitely saved me from further damaging my foot. I’ll look into the exercises you recommend.
hello, i was wondering if your ankle mobility exercise would help re-align my ankles as well as fix my foot pronation. my ankles roll outwards from my feet a lot and i believe it is due to the over probation of my feet. thanks
I'm a little confused on where the fix for this problem is? I have this exact problem on the same side your demonstrating. Its causing me so many issues. I've never heard it explained so well. My problem is I dont know to address my feet ankle knee or hips i try all three but i get inconsistent because i dont have a really well laid out game plane. I'll check out the link.
Thank you Coach, extra+ presentation of interdependence between foot, ankle, knee & hip for a pronated feet, what about a supinated feet? Any drills for that?

No problems in life are simplistic to solve..arriving at a conclusion of the optimal regime for treatment is the necessary step one ,which Dr Wong did in this video. The rest are just details which can be seen in other linked videos.
Hello there I have watched you video about over pronation and I have been suffering from this for a quite some time but the pain is unbearable Do u know if any product which is the best one to buy to help with this problem thank you
Anybody else craving queso now? K. So.😂 Seriously though thank you for this video, and all of your teachings!! They are very important and helpful. I have lots of work to do.
I've been watching your videos for years coach Eric. Back when it was Eric Wong MMA channel. I have extremely open hips and it's really good for headkicks, but i have noticed pain in my right knee after playing football (soccer). When i look how i walk my right foot is definitely overpronated and this video explains the physiology perfectly. I think i must be lacking internal rotation at the hip and probably make it worse with all the splits/hip stretches i do without fixing the root cause. Thanks for this.

im a personal trainer and you definitionally helped me with helping him out
Good to hear!
Broke my tib and fib 8 yrs ago and never fully rehabbed it so my foot overpronated leading to uneven hips and a number of other things.. this really helped thank you!
Awesome!
This was really informative. Thank you so much. I broke my right leg near the ankle when I was 20 (i'm 32 now) and did not do physical rehabilitation. The break was bad and put me out for about 6 months because I received a plate and seven screws on my right fibula. Because I did not do rehab, I had to relearn to walk by myself and I ended up with a fallen arch on my left foot, which has caused gait and pronation issues for years. I realized I was walking on the outside edges of my feet for a long time to compensate for the weakness of other muscles. Recently, I have developed issues with my hip on the right side, and my knees are slightly knocked. I hope that with your advice and information I can get myself back. I haven't been able to run or play hockey without form issues and discomfort for a long time. I miss the days when I was young and could run and play sports without a care in the world.
Thanks for trying it out and let us know how it goes! - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Are you doing better now?
Oh my! You give THE BEST explanation and hope compared to anyone on RUclips! I’m finally hopeful to believe that I can be helped with my terrible feet!!! Thanks!
Wow, thank you!
This has been and continues to be a problem for me. Thank you for making and taking the time to cover this topic. I will start using your tips.
How are you now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
this is incredible depth and understanding of the problem! Thank you!
I had a serious ankle injury years ago, had surgery and wore orthotics for my right foot for years been through PT, but I still have AI impingement and overpronation. it's frustrating because I know the orthotics aren't helping and most PTs don't look in-depth at my movement mechanics. This helps prove that mechanics matter.
I switched to barefoot shoes and my left got much better and my right foot has improved, but still some issues persist.
So hapy that you found us and thanks for trying it out :)

I went to 6 different doctors, made 2 Walking Analysis this year after suffering under shin Splints and you Made the best Video to explain and Help me!!! Thanks!
ewigheim123 we dont even need doctor’s no more. We can find better information online
ewigheim123 hey if you’re still suffering from shin splints I recommend working out. I suffered from shin splints my whole life, I couldn’t run or walk too much. I was told it was from weak muscles. When I started working out consistently the shin splints disappeared. Try doing calf raises. Hope it helps
Probably the clearest explanation I've seen.
Glad that you think so!
I have a chronic deltoid ligament sprain and chronic ankle instability which caused overpronation in my right ankle which then caused my entire right side to be misaligned. I've been struggling with this pain for 3 years now and I'm only 22, I really like the information your video provided I hope your exercises can help solve my problems.
You got this!
I’ve had unexpected issues with the back side of my heel. Pain only when I was walking especially when the foot was heading up. I thought it might have been some tension, but then I realized how misaligned my right foot was. Walking on the left side of the ball of my foot solved that pain. I just need to make this a permanent thing so I can get back to workouts. Thank you for the video!
Great work! We are so happy that you figured that out :)
I’ve walked splayed my whole life and now I get why. It’s not a problem until you have to run other than looking kind of goofy
Sorry for the late reply.
How are you doing now?
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoachunny you should mention it. Not had problems for years but now I’m increasing my distance and speed I’m getting blisters/calluses on my big toes. I believe it’s caused by my rolling off my big toe due to overpronation. So now I’m back here trying to look at ways of reducing this hot spot so I can run longer without causing further problems
@@EggsForDessert This content is still relevant for you :)

Thank you for making this video. I’ve seen many doctors about knee pain and hip pain mostly knee. I’ve been prescribed meds meds and shots and braces and xrays to deal with it… after researching BY MYSELF why my knees are inwards and shoes funny looking after wearing for a while. This is the problem. Again thank you for the educational video.
Yet another informative video, thanks! Lifetime runner here healing myself after a season of overuse and not enough focus on feet health. Headed over to your linked video now. Wishing you all the best!
To many pain-free miles!
I've had flat feet since I was little, and was always made to think that it is a deformity. Last year I discovered fore foot walking. I basically had to relearn how to walk, since modern walking is all wrong. But it it fixed all of my posture issues. I suddenly have arches for the first time in my life.
That's so great to read :)
Amazing knowledge and generosity in sharing them..Thx for the outside the box POV
I rally want this, u taught me more than doctor even he didnt find my prblm what nme .....I try my best ...Tnku
You can do it!
I can't express my gratefulness in words, thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Your explanation on the cause is very true. I have flat feet and I wore supportive arch shoes for about 3 years. I wear them all the time. I dont have pain and flat feet any more. But then I realize that my arch muscles are extremely weak. Because the arch support is too good and my muscles were never used. And I have pronated feet now. No one told me that the arch support shoes are actually harming my feet.....
You can definitely do something about it :) - Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks for such detailed information. I’ve learned a lot. I have extensive foot and ankle issues and I appreciate how specific you are and how you connect the dots ( or parts).
Glad it was helpful!
FINALLY! Someone who *actually* gets it! I don't want to rely on another expensive band aid (arch support 🐂💩) to correct my flat feet and overpronation, I want train and strengthen so I can use them correctly and permanently!!! Why don't podiatrists learn this???!!! It's not hard to understand your will atrophy if you rely on things like that! No thanks! I want to be able to stand barefoot in my home. Are you on TikTok? This is great 👍

Dude you saved my young life
I'm glad to be of service.
So happy to find this video!! I’ve been having knee problems on left side and notice that my hip and glutes are uneven, muscles don’t appear to be activating on that left side. Also having shoulder and bicep issues. Backtracked on a dusty trail this evening and could see my externally rotated foot pattern with that left footprint! I walked on focusing on straightening that foot as I continued to hike. Now my big toe hurts, my knee is feeling uncomfortable….I really appreciate the in-depth explanation of the compensatory factors and look forward to your next video on how to remediate!
Thanks for watching and commenting!

I had a bad ankle roll from skateboarding and i feel my arch has completely vanished and became something abnormal in the right foot, knee became inverted along the way after some passing months. I was hoping to tackle the root cause and this video changed my perspective on letting tedious injuries get in the way of a pain free lifestyle.
I hope that the material helps you out :)
@@PrecisionMovementCoach do you have a course to enroll in
Here you go: www.precisionmovement.coach/lower-limb-control/
Thank you have just provided me the right tools to correct my gait. i am with fallen arches, presence of valgus, and when I was stair cases I struggles. The walking up has improved after correcting with ankle straps I have torn my hallucis ductus longus 10 years ago. Again while stretching the achilies I tore it again. This video after stretching I walk and cover movements that are part of stretchig exercise. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are welcome and thanks for watching :)
I found out that the root cause for me was Achilles tendon inflexibility caused by tendonitis from working outdoors wearing very high, stiff boots for a long time. 10-15 mins/day of Achilles tendon & calf stretches, plus switching to barefoot shoes has helped a lot.

God bless
Have you ever used a slant board at all??

I am a personal trainer, been researching on ankle pronation because of one of my clients and this was a great video! thank you love! Also drunk part was pretty funny haha
I'm glad that you appreciate the material :)
Excellent…I started having pain in my glutes when squatting could not figure out why. Then I started looking at my feet and hip rotation and noticed my overpronation which I had no idea what was called until I watched this video. Thanks so much!!!!
Glad that it helped :)
dude, thank you so much. I've been dealing with weird foot/knee/leg pains for like 7 months now, & about 5 months ago i started feeling like my ankles were rolling inwards, knees rolling in, & feet splaying out. I know this sounds silly but its been a big source of depression & anixety since then because exercise is really important for my mental health & I've been practically bed ridden for months trying not to make it worse, & this along with binge eating and self esteem problems is a terrible combination. Plus the terrible anxiety that my feet & legs are becoming deformed, and the thought that it could be permanent & i may never be able to run or comfortably walk again. For a bit I thought it was PTTD, but a podiatrist told me that wasn't it, so it was just more confusion but after more research I found this & it really seems like it matches my problem. Gonna check out your exercises & drills to correct this, I can't express my gratitude enough cuz this could genuinely help get my life back on track, i feel like i have hope for the first time in a while. much love
Thanks for trying out the exercises and keep us posted on your progress. We are here for you :)
This is basically me. Im 24 and this past summer a co worker of mine told me i need to get my feet check as my left boot was severly pronated. Never really felt pain or discomfort until i was conscious about the issue and now its given me anxiety and depression like you mentioned. Ive been going to a podiatrist and physical therapy but the podiatrist is a joke and hardly analyzes whats wrong. She just throws custom orthotics at my issue and leaves it at that. Im a carpenter and love what i do but i get anxiety because i feel with this issue i may not be able to do this work for much longer
i’ve sprained my ankles many times throughout my life having always played sports but ultimately never had problems. but about 3 years ago i twisted my ankle super hard and since then i’ve noticed my right ankle being a lot thicker than my left, my right foot pronates out right, i don’t have engagement in my right calf, and when walking it feels like my right leg entirely is jammed
needless to say i NEEDED this video
Glad that you found it!
Hey! Did he mention how it can be cured? He talked more about the causes and not the cure. Or did I miss something. Great explanation and correctly pointed out my everyday pain.
Did you try out the exercises in the video?
Whoever got this condition like I do, I got few suggestions for you.
First, buy orthodics aligned with your foot measurements. It will relieve you from arch pain and feeling of your foot being split to two. Next is - go run on the beach barefoot. It will train your ankle muscles and will pervent your arch from collapsing. I am someone who experienced so much pain in my foot that it made me think twice before going to work or whatsoever. For those who feel exactly like me, I feel your pain. No one needs to feel like this anylonger. Go run barefoot on sand, wear orthodics and live happy!, achieve your dreams!
That's pretty good advice but here's an article on orthotics that you might be interested in reading: www.precisionmovement.coach/pes-planus/
I’ve had this problem from playing soccer a lot when I was young passing the ball you actually over pronate your foot repeatedly which eventually leads to your foot staying in that overly pronated position… this caused hip pain on the affected side (piriformis) syndrome . ( the foot flares out , the knee rotates inward, with the femur which led to hip pain)
This video can help as can the resources in the video description.
Also, consider doing the Lower Limb Control program :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I did as well!! I have the exact same issues, so happy I found someone who wrote out what I’m experiencing. Had no idea soccer caused this.
I had a bad fall down the stairs of my building and it tore up my R knee. I was in exceptional shape, rollerskating and doing ballet for exercise. After seeing an orthopede and being told it was probably just a torn meniscus, I went to about five different therapists because I could tell something was wrong when I was walking, not matter how carefully I focused on my heel to toe step. Not one would watch me walk. Had they done so, they would have seen my femur was going in a different direction from my foot and lower leg. I went to see my Alexander Technique practitioner, Clair Maxwell, and she could see that there was something mechanically wrong with my knee. There was nothing left inside. Just bone on bone. After three surgeries, including a total knee replacement, my L knee is now gone and I'm having to kind of learn to walk all over again.
Wow! What an ordeal.
We are here for you.
This video is okay, but you need something more comprehensive and progressive.

My mind is awakened by the restricted hip IR causing the pronation. My feet feel strong. My quads are strong - I have lifted heavy weight for years. This is just such a fine balance.
I'm glad that you have been alerted to this issue.
Learning all of this in functional anatomy right now so glad I could follow along :) thanks for the video
Eric is a genius.
Thanks!
outstanding work man. Thank you for the clear explanation.
My pleasure!
THIS IS IT!!!!! in my opinion the most over looked concept. EVERY joint in the body serves a purpose. So often the feet are overlooked
Agreed.
Thank you, very useful information. I’m going to do your exercises and I’m going to wear the barefoot shoes , instead of conventional shoes. I’m pretty positive that those 2 things together will fix the problem.
Best of luck!
I've been using pain almost 2 years. I watch for 10 minutes doing this & it has been perfect ! Is it for 6 weeks to do fix?
Thank you 😊
Wow, that's great!
We are so happy that it helped. It's hard to say how long it will take to fix from our vantage point. You will notice changes after six weeks for sure.

But I have over inversion in my right foot, I feel unbalanced while walking. And I feel like I am driving that distortion to my body everyday walking, I feel my right knee is twisted because of my right foot inversion (Not Eversion)

@@alexbjorkis6358 they will only help as long as you learn to activate the correct muscles at the correct time. The shoes will not do that for you :)

Thanks Martin!
Exactly mind blowing, im as flexible as possible been stretching for past 3yrs and still have daily pain leg still over pronates regardless....
Glad you like it :)
This is what I have and what’s happening for me. Thank you Eric. Your methods of explaining things so thoroughly are greatly appreciated.
Glad to see this now and wish I would have in my 20’s early 30’s. Your channel is so underrated. You’ll have a million subscribers one day for sure!
Glad you enjoyed the explanation and video and it's an honour to be able to help you move freely and without pain! A million subscribers - that'd be great, appreciate you putting that intention out there. :-)
Wow! I have been to several doctors and physios and not one have them have suggested this. My right foot is facing outwards and the outside hits the floor first so it turns every time is hits the floor. My right hip is also very bad causing me sometimes to not even move and my right shoulder is giving me problems. And I come on and this. I ran in to tel my family. I found what’s wrong with me hahha. Thankyou and I will definitely be looking into the next steps. Great! Thankyou!
I have had lots of scans and an injection in my hip and after everything the doctor said ye there’s a small tear but your just going to have to live with the pain and manage it. There’s nothing we can do. No there is something!!!!
There’s lots! Keep on educating yourself and taking action and you’ll improve.
Precision Movement by Eric Wong Thankyou. I will
Hi Eric. So I’ve started the 6 week course to get started which Joshua suggested. I was wondering what to do next. Do I concentrate on the ankle or the hip. I am having terrible pain in hip. With your videos are they specific to my to my injury or do I just do all of them? Because surely some of them with cause me damage. Is it possible to do a consultation with you and mabye you could tell me exactly which exercises to do or do I just do all the excercises? I’m just looking for a little bit of guidance if that’s okay? Joshua has my email. Thanks
When we walk we have a internal rotation of the femur bone!!I never though it that way that's awesome
I’m glad that you appreciate the material.
About 8 months ago I started wearing work boots with very high/stiff arch support.(Whites boots) The company advertises like the arch support is supposed to be really good for your foot health and better for long work days….. now watching this I realize that the boots are probably the cause of my right foot becoming pronated considering I’ve never had this problem ever before I started to wear boots with high arch support…. Thanks for the video you definitely saved me from further damaging my foot. I’ll look into the exercises you recommend.
Happy to help and keep us posted on your progress :)
Could you please show us a few exercises that we could to do help aid/prevent this from happening ?
Great informational video btw

my left foot points inwards. I think I used to stand with it in an awkward position and that’s what caused it but i’m unsure. any help?
The material in this video will help. I also recommend that you train your tibial rotators.
Precision Movement by Eric Wong thank you
Outstanding video
Thank you so much 😀
I've been watching your videos for years coach Eric. Back when it was Eric Wong MMA channel. I have extremely open hips and it's really good for headkicks, but i have noticed pain in my right knee after playing football (soccer). When i look how i walk my right foot is definitely overpronated and this video explains the physiology perfectly. I think i must be lacking internal rotation at the hip and probably make it worse with all the splits/hip stretches i do without fixing the root cause. Thanks for this.
Thanks for following along and I'm glad that you appreciate the material. I think that you can benefit from this program: www.precisionmovement.coach/hip-control
