Points to ponder:
-
A pair of feet contain: 52 bones, 66 joints, 38 muscles and over 200 ligaments.
- 3 main weight bearing points: The Heel, the Little Toe (on 5th metatarsal) and then the Big Toe (on first metatarsal).
- The skin of the foot: Thickest in the body
- Weight bearing factoid: A person who weighs 150 pounds jogs three miles, the cumulative impact on each foot is over 150 tons!!!
Jogging is extremely strenuous on the feet. It may be best to fast walk.
When the arches in persons feet collapse, the result can a very bad posture. This is mainly because a collapse of the arch in the foot can cause the balance of a person to become off center. This means the ankles can lean inward/outward, knees may lean inward/outward, hips may begin to go out of center, the back may go crooked, shoulders and neck may go out of position and so on. This can continue for years; causing severe injury over time.
What Are Orthotics?
Your feet are the foundation of your entire body. Orthotics are shoe inserts engineered to help your feet maintain the alignment of the body. So we're not just talking about solving a foot problem with orthotics, we're talking about fixing a body problem.
If you're out of alignment, your whole body can suffer. The ankles break down, the knee bends inward, the hip drops, the back tries to compensate, straining muscles from the lower back to the shoulders. But with Orthotics you can help realign the heel and ankle--the knees straighten, your hip realigns. 
You're putting your entire body in better balance with stability and comfort.
Our Custom Orthotics help support and re-align your bones of your feet and help your entire body too! They can help strengthen and massage muscles, straighten back and body posture, reduce stress on bones and joints, and help walking and running problems and more. If your feet of off-center or out of neutral, they help place them back into neutral for real healing.
A good comparison is like a house or tower on its foundation. If a building is built on sand, the entire structure can move, crack, crumble and collapse (stemming from the bottom up). With a sturdy rock/cement foundation, the structure stays firmly and comfortably centered in place; all of its arches supported and aligned. Another example is how a bridge has arches underneath. Those arches support more weight than just a flat plank.
With feet, our orthotics can help arches stay supported, and the weight of your entire body can have less accumulative negative effects.
Our orthotics are slightly flexible which stimulates natural foot function and allows muscles to gain more circulation and strength. Foot Problems can be completely helped and feet function normally again!...even fallen or too high arches!
