ACHING LEGS. Tired, aching legs are usually the result of fatigue and straining of the calf muscles. Unfortunately, this condition is very common and like many other foot problems is the result of having an excessively pronated foot ( the feet become misaligned and combined with poor posture roll inwards to gain ground contact, the arches become flattened ). Excessive pronation of the feet will cause the legs to internally rotate and in turn will lead to abnormal traction of the calf muscles in the back of the leg. The most effective means of treating aching legs is to wear orthotic insoles. These will help to reduce the excessive traction and torsion on the calf muscles by controlling excess pronation of the feet and limiting the internal rotation of the legs.
