I thought that many of you may find this interesting. My daughter has been having trouble with her back, ankles, and endurance. We started PT for her ankles, chiropractor for her back and were still unsure of endurance. One of her coaches who is also a PT noticed she had pretty "flat feet" due to the weakness in her ankle. She suggested arch supports. Her PT agreed. I also mentioned this to the chiropractor who then did some testing. He discovered that her feet are pronanted and her arch has very little support which is causing ankle and back pain. Now here is where it gets interesting. He also did a test that reveiled when she lands on her feet a shock runs through her body causing weakness all over. So the trouble with her arches is likely the cause of her low endurance levels. Who would have thought? Day one with the arch supports and she felt great, she finds them very comfortable. We are still deciding what she should wear for practice to support her arches though. Hopefully with some time her troubles will heal
