Last year my client went for a gait analysis and was told she was severely overpronating & “needed” a specific type of running shoe.
Fast forward to now… she goes back and is told she has a neutral gait
Same person.
⚡️⚡️Different strength, stability, and control.
Pronation isn’t always a problem. But sometimes it’s a sign your body is compensating because it doesn’t quite trust itself under load.
Instead of trying to “fix” her feet, we focused on:
• building lower body strength
• improving single-leg control
• increasing load tolerance through the hips, knees, and ankles
And when the body feels stronger and more stable, it often stops needing to compensate.
⚡️🏃🏽♀️🙌🏼 Here are my top four exercises that helped positively change her gait and why they work.
