Press Release Summary: In a monumental study involving 22 children, Professor
Rothbart statistically links a congenital foot structure to the development of poor
posture, which in turn, leads to chronic musculoskeletal pain in the adult.

Press Release Body: Presently, the United States is entrenched in a silent epidemic
of pain which, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, disables more
Americans annually that than all those suffering from diabetes, heart disease,
stroke and cancer combined.1 Professor Rothbart links this epidemic of pain to a
foot structure (Primus Metatarsus Supinatus) that he discovered in 2002.2 This foot
structure causes the foot to twist (pronate) when you stand or walk. And it is
this foot twist that is linked to the development of chronic muscle and joint pain.


In his forthcoming book, Forever Free From Chronic Pain, Professor Rothbart
discusses the importance of this direct link between foot twist and the development
of chronic pain. In patients born with the Primus Metatarsus Supinatus foot
structure, Professor Rothbart eliminates chronic pain by eliminating foot twist. He
terms this non surgical, non drug therapy, Proprioceptive Therapy.
