Orthotic insoles - foot supports that control the way your foot functions

Feet orthotics and orthotic insoles (foot supports) control the way your foot functions, and can compensate for deformities and other anomalies to add support and relieve foot pain.

It is vital that orthoses (foot supports) are chosen in consultation with our foot care specialists, who evaluate requirements based on gait analysis and in conjunction with your personal needs (the shoes you wear, how much walking you do etc.).

We can recommend the ideal solution for you. We also offer a wide range of ready made non-casted orthotics (foot supports) and other insoles. Just out is our new Copper Orthotic - The Original Copper Heeler which can be purchased from our online store.

1. What are Orthotics (foot supports)? Orthotics (foot supports) are specially designed shoe inserts, which help to restore the natural position of your foot. The type of orthotic (foot support) we need depends on the type of foot we have, how the foot is changing position and what shoes we wear. By careful selection and design of the correct orthotic (foot support) the foot is able to return to its natural position and function. This will prevent damaging changes in other joints, muscles and ligaments, and reduce foot pain.
2. Is an Orthotic (foot support) just another insole? No, because insoles are designed to provide a cushioning effect and shock absorption. They may feel comfortable at first but they do not get to the root of the biomechanical cause of the pain or ailment. Orthotics (foot supports), on the other hand, are designed to change and optimise your foot function.
3. Do I need Orthotics (foot supports)? Many foot symptoms ranging from general aches to painful bone and foot problems such as heel pains, bunions, callouses and hammer toes, are caused by collapsed and fallen arches. Foot orthotics (foot supports) help realign the joints within the foot in order to relieve the various symptoms. Orthotic insoles (foot supports) may also be used as an alternative to surgery, or after surgery to help maintain proper foot, ankle, knee and hip alignment.
4. What kinds of Orthotics (foot supports) are available? Various kinds of orthotic insoles (foot supports) are available depending upon your needs of your lifestyle and your feet. The most common type of orthotic insole (foot support) is the rigid orthopaedic foot support device made for everyday shoes. There are other types of orthotics (foot supports) for high heeled shoes and soft, more flexible specialized orthotics to support pressure areas like heel spur to relieve foot pain.
5. Will Orthotics help my foot problems? Orthotic insoles (foot supports) are helpful for many ailments of the foot; however they are not a complete cure. Orthotic (foot support) devices cannot reverse damage already occurred; they can however reduce the severity of the symptoms and relieve much of the pain caused by the problems you experience. In some cases symptoms can be eliminated. Contact our Central London now for more information.
6. Do I wear Orthotics (foot supports) all day? Orthotic insoles, like glasses, work only when you use them. Orthotics (foot supports) do not change the structure of a foot, but help realign its joints to improve posture and function and relieve foot pain. All day use of your orthotic insoles (foot supports) is generally recommended to control or reduce pain or fatigue.

	Plantar fasciitis (more commonly called Heel pain) is commonly traced to an inflammation of the base of the foot. People with vary flat feet or very high arches are also more prone to plantar fasciitis. If you don't treat plantar fasciitis, it may become achronic condition. Because plantar fasciitis changes the way you walk, you may develop symptoms of foot, knee,hip and back problems.
	Pain is the main symptom of Plantar fasciitis. This pain can be anywhere on the underside of the heel. Commonly, one spot is found as the main source of pain. This is often about 4 cms forward from the heel, and may be tender to touch.

Do you experience knee pain while running?

Did you know that when the knee hurts, the knee is actually one of the last places you should look to find the cause?

Problems occur when a knee becomes misaligned, and one cause for this can originate in the foot/ankle.

If one or both feet has a structural problem ("flat feet", high arch, weak ankles, for example), this condition can cause the leg to rotate improperly, which in turn produces stress on the knee.

As knee muscles and ligaments weaken, the joint may begin to move out of its proper position. These imbalances have a potential "ripple effect" which can affect the hips, low back, and neck.

That's why you'll often encounter someone whose back started hurting after he/she began having knee problems.

Introducint Poron XRD - Extreme Impact Protction Material

Boy playing football PORON XRD protection has been specially designed to utilize the natural behavior of polymers to its advantage. It exploits the phenomenon that polymers can act as either a soft or hard (firm) material dependent on either temperature or the rate of impact. In the case of PORON XRD protection, at room temperature or 'at rest', it is soft and contouring to the touch.

But when impacted,the material behaves like a much firmer material, allowing it to readily absorb the energy of an impact. Thus PORON XRD material acts as a layer of wearable protection. It is soft to the touch, lightweight, contouring, and testing confirms that it absorbs more than 90 percent of energy upon repeated impact.

Because it is lightweight and flexible, like a "second skin, PORON XRD protection will not constrict freedom of movement or range of motion, allowing athletes to achieve their peak performance level.
