Definition
Pronation is the inward (medial) roll of the foot and in particular the heel and arch which occurs naturally at the heel strike as a cushioning mechanism.
Cause
People who do a lot of running.
Tight Shoes.
Can contribute to other painful conditions of the foot, leg, and knee, including overstretching of the band that extends from the heel to the ball of the foot.
Treatment & Prevention
Get a running shoe with extra medial support
Make sure the shoe fits your heel and your toes.
The toebox should provide ample wiggle room, and the heel should not slip up when walking.
