Biomechanics
The
ground we walk is man
made and we yield to
it, it does not yield
to us. The more this
is intensified e.g.
poor footwear, running,
jumping the more adaptation.
This adaptation causes
miss alignment of the
joints not only in the
foot but the whole body
If you take your ankle
and move it watch the
effect it has on your
forefoot, Knee, hip,
lower back, spine, shoulders
and neck.
So by adapting the
person naturally within
the shoe by insoles
to the ground this aims
to rebalance the individual
and reduce many problems
including callous, heel/ankle
pain, knee/hip and lower
back pain.
Biomechanical
Assessment
A Biomechanical Assessment
involves a complex evaluation
of the feet, legs and
body position whilst
weight bearing and non-weight
bearing.
Assessment includes
evaluation of muscle
strength, range-of-motion,
and the relationships
of the foot and leg.
The information gained
from a biomechanical
assessment forms the
basis for a treatment
plan and whether or
not an insole/orthotic
may help the individual.
Insoles maybe basic
with a few additions
or more complexed and
custom made for the
individual by casting
their feet. They are
uniquely fitted on the
same day to the individual,
helping to re-balance
the lower limb, improve
performance and therefore
reduce the risk of injury.
Many top professionals
including the French
National Football team,
Lee Westwood, Stuart
Pearce and many others
wear these ‘Specialist
sport performance insoles’ |
