Arches of the feet made the 7 Wellness Attributes of the Back to Life System because of all the effects it has on the body and how easily it can be corrected. Correcting the 3 arches of the feet has drastic positive effects on the body creating a Wellness attribute that snowballs to other areas. When you lose the arch of your foot it will rotate your knee and hip anteriorly which will lower your sacrum causing spinal curvature. Your sacrum being out of alignment can cause the arch of your foot to collapse in order to lower your sacrum and keep your spine level.
