Foot alignment refers to the positioning of the feet in relation to the body and the ground. Proper alignment ensures that the feet are straight and parallel, which helps maintain balance and stability during movement. Misalignment can lead to discomfort, pain, and increased risk of injury. Factors affecting foot alignment include foot structure, muscle strength, and posture. Common issues like flat feet or high arches can disrupt alignment. Correcting these issues often involves exercises, orthotic devices, or proper footwear to promote healthier foot positioning and overall body mechanics.
