Here’s the “science-y” stuff of how your foot might roll in or out and having proper footwear to help the gait is essential..

SUBTALAR JOINT CONTROL: INVERSION, EVERSION & THE KEY TO FOOT STABILITY

The image illustrates one of the most important yet underestimated components of lower limb biomechanics—the subtalar joint (STJ) and its role in controlling inversion, eversion, and neutral alignment. Located between the talus and calcaneus, this joint acts as a mechanical adaptor between the leg and the ground, allowing the body to respond efficiently to different surfaces and loads.

In a neutral position (0°), the calcaneus is aligned vertically under the tibia, allowing optimal load transfer through the ankle and foot. This position represents a balanced state where neither excessive pronation nor supination dominates. It is biomechanically efficient because forces are distributed evenly across the joints, ligaments, and soft tissues.

During inversion (approximately up to 20°), the calcaneus tilts inward relative to the tibia. This movement is associated with supination, where the foot becomes more rigid. Biomechanically, this rigidity is essential during the push-off phase of gait, as it creates a stable lever for propulsion. However, excessive inversion increases stress on the lateral ankle ligaments and raises the risk of ankle sprains.

In contrast, eversion (typically around 5°) represents outward tilting of the calcaneus and is a key component of pronation. This motion allows the foot to become more flexible, helping absorb shock during initial ground contact. While this adaptability is crucial, excessive eversion leads to overpronation, which can alter the alignment of the entire kinetic chain, contributing to tibial internal rotation, knee valgus, and even hip dysfunction.

From a biomechanical standpoint, the subtalar joint does not work in isolation. Its motion directly influences—and is influenced by—the tibia, knee, and hip. For example, excessive eversion can drive internal rotation of the tibia, which then affects knee mechanics and patellofemoral tracking. Similarly, restricted inversion may reduce the foot’s ability to form a rigid lever, compromising gait efficiency.

The relatively smaller range of eversion compared to inversion highlights an important concept: the body is designed to allow controlled shock absorption but relies heavily on stability for propulsion. This asymmetry ensures that while the foot can adapt to the ground, it can also transition into a stable structure when needed.

Clinically, assessing inversion, eversion, and neutral alignment provides valuable insight into rearfoot mechanics, injury risk, and movement efficiency. Deviations from neutral—whether toward excessive inversion or eversion—often reflect deeper issues such as muscular imbalances, ligament laxity, or poor neuromuscular control.

In essence, the subtalar joint acts as a biomechanical switch—shifting the foot between mobility and stability.

Rossiter for the win! 🏅 👋

It’s really that fast for some folks under 30 mins .

Ohhhh and with Rossiter the tissue keeps unwinding and recovering = you feel better, less achy, less pain 😊😊

This is a great explanation about “slipped discs”. I think it’s a good approach to helping us calm our nervous systems down when we hear these words. It’s a solvable problem with time and care and of course massage. 🤗
