I’m in a Running Group on LinkedIn, and recently received this great question about foot fitness, running, and orthotics.
Here’s the Question:
“Aliesa, your posts are very informative and caught my interest! I saw an article recently about not using orthotics long term for running. I pronate and my arches are falling. Do you have recommendations for stretching or strengthening the feet so I don’t need to rely on orthotics while running?  Thanks!”
