Get rid of sore, aching feet, and get moving again - pain-free!What
can Orthotics do for you?
Orthotics are designed to restore
your natural foot function. Many biomechanical complaints from walking,
such as heel pain, knee pain, and lower back pain are caused by
improper foot movement.
Orthotics re-align the foot and
ankle bones to their natural position, thereby restoring proper
foot movement. In turn, this helps alleviate problems in other parts
of the body. In addition, foot care orthotics, such as WalkFit®,
cause weight to be more evenly distributed over the foot, taking
pressure of sore spots, as they provide shock absorption, which
minimizes the effects of walking, running and standing.
Orthotics can be of great assistance
to the casual walker or the professional athlete. Some parts of
WalkFit® orthotics are specifically designed to act as a cushion
as the foot strikes the ground, while parts are used to support
the arches. The special heel cup prevents you from twisting your
ankles.
Since WalkFit® orthotics are
designed by physicians, they strengthen the feet and ankles, evenly
distribute weight, relieving imbalances, and reduce foot pain. All
this occurs while WalkFit®
supports your
ligaments, tendons, bones and muscles in your feet, further reducing
foot pain.
For
a child, these devices allow the normal development of bones and
foot structures to occur as the child grows, and allows the child
to participate in sports, preventing serious injury.
