Karen, a first-grade teacher, believes that the best way to reach and teach her students is by getting on their level—which often means sitting on the floor. But getting into this position isn’t easy for many adults, especially those dealing with foot, knee, or back pain. To stand back up after a floor teaching session, Karen would have to hold her back with one hand, trying to keep her pain at bay.
After some time dealing with the discomfort, she realized that to be able to get up and down from the rug, where most of her teaching took place, she’d have to seek long-term solutions for her pain.
During a visit with her doctor, Karen discovered that her back pain might stem from her feet. What Karen didn’t know is that if something is out of alignment at the feet, everything up the kinetic chain (legs, knees, hips, and back) can become misaligned, too, often causing pain.
So, Karen visited The Good Feet Store, where she was personally fitted with Good Feet Arch Supports that gave her the right foundation for a properly aligned body. Now that she’s moving comfortably, Karen can better meet the needs of her young learners—a win-win for everyone.
