Subject: Ironman Triathlete 
Note: This Athlete gave BodyPro Physical Therapy permission to publish the photographs of the evaluation.

Note: the presence of the onset bunion deformity - this is due to the medial drift of the foot due to over-pronation or flat feet.

Finding Subtalar neutral position in standing.

Measuring Tibial Varum

Measuring tibial varum or the angle of the lower leg bone when the foot is in its natural resting stance position.

This helps to determine posting necessary to correcting foot mechanics and thus make the foot more efficient.
