What Causes Pain
Our foot shape has a direct effect on our entire posture. Structural differences of the right and left foot cause an immediate imbalance in the hips. Furthermore, the foot shape directly affects our leg axis. The knee and hips turn, which causes permanent damages to joints (grinding, wear and tear).
Besides the structural connections through our body there are impulses our feet send to our brain, based on which we are able to walk, run, jump, maintain balance, and they support our postural awareness. That impulses can become weaker over time when we get older (balance issues) or certain conditions can disturb this system, such as neuropathy, Parkinson's, and different types of physical and cognitive disabilities.
Foot Pain
Our feet bear a lot of weight and pressure. Over time, physical activities like sports and daily tasks can cause changes in their structure.
Hip Pain
Hip and pelvic issues can result from twisting. This painful condition can be caused by a foot misalignment or difference in leg lengths, which is quite common.
Knee Pain
Knee gonathrosis is when the knee joint wears out over time. This can happen if the position of your feet is not right, which can harm your leg and knee alignment.
Disability
By applying pressure in specific areas of your foot, we can either increase or decrease the muscular tone. This affects both posture and gait as movement patterns are repeated.
Imbalance
Through our unique orthotic technology, we are able to improve neural responses to ground forces. This improves the body's perception and balance.
Performance
Custom-made orthotics can help athletes perform better by spreading weight and pressure evenly, while also providing support to prevent injuries.
FootTek Orthotics
Our custom made foot orthotics help to distribute the load and pressure, reducing pain, preventing injuries and improving overall biomechanical functions of the entire body. They can also correct an imbalance in your feet and body to help improve your alignment and posture.
