What Harris Mat Footprints Reveal

Harris Mat footprints are a valuable visual tool that reveal how your body weight is distributed across the bottom of your feet. This simple test provides key insights into your foot structure & function, including:

• How weight-bearing affects the soft tissues on the bottom of the feet

• The position & spacing of the metatarsal bones

• Signs of developing foot deformities, such as bunions & hammertoes

• Asymmetrical collapse of the tarsal joints, showing how each foot may be falling differently

By analyzing these footprints, we gain a deeper understanding of the underlying structural imbalances that may be contributing to pain or poor posture — and use that information to create custom orthotics that restore balance & alignment from the ground up by aligning both anklebones at the same height. This correction can be verified through the Anklebone Alignment Test, ensuring the effectiveness of your orthotic treatment.
