Is it possible to have different pronations for different feet? |
My fiance, while riding his bike behind me while I ran, told me that my left leg/foot appears to go foward somewhat normally, but that my right foot sweeps out to the right before going down in front of me. The running store told me I was an overpronator, but could there be more to it then that? When I do encounter a painful run, it's almost always involved in my right leg/knee/ankle in some way, and it always has, ever since I was a kid and in sports. Any ideas? Usually the cause of overpronation is flat or slightly flat feet which causes your ankle to tilt slightly in....I have suffered from shin splints in the past but only in my left shin....I did a lot of research and noticed that my left foot in flatter than my right and when I stand in front of a mirror w/ my feet hip width apart my left ankle tilts sligtly inward, where my right doesn't. So, yes....I do think it is possible. I have had to order special shoes and inserts to solve the problem. And I have also noticed any pain I get to be associated w/ my left leg only. Just like some people have feet of different sizes, I don't see why the makeup of our feet couldn't be a little different too. Mine are! This info really helped me....It's mostly about shin splints but it explains over and under pronation and treatment: http://www.watfxc.com/tf/tf%20education/... maybe it's a back problem. you know how the back pretty much holds everything else. thanks for a little common sense! well, it's not your pronations that are different at all. that cannot happen unless you have elephantiasis or something. if you over pronate in one foot, you do it in the other foot just as much. the only thing i can say is that it's not foot support you need. you're going to have to work out your foot strike. i was that way when i was a kid, but after a lot of training i got my legs and feet striking with synchronization. foot support will help your pronating problem, but your foot strike, which seems to be the problem, you'll have to work out naturally. try jump roping every other day. other than that, you'll just have to work out the darned foot naturally, by running. |
