Recurring injuries, back problems, posture problems, support problems, orthopaedic inserts can correct many things. The feet, which are subject to a great deal of strain from running, need to be relieved. Insoles are therefore essential.
The feet support the weight of the human body. One wrong move, one lack of support and the whole chain is jammed. Tendonitis, knee injuries, pubalgia, back pain... there are no territorial limits to discomfort, even for a simple foot problem. Orthopaedic insoles correct all this. Let's explain this.
Insoles if there are pathologies
Specialists mainly use insoles to correct existing discomfort: "Whether for amateurs or professionals, if there is no pathology there is no need for insoles" Achilles tendon injuries are the most frequent pathologies. You don't wear insoles for pleasure, even if it is possible to create comfort insoles, i.e. without correction.
The body gets its kicks
The beneficial effects of insoles are multiple. First of all, it allows the runner to rediscover his sporting gestures and to practice his sport without any discomfort. We can also observe a clear improvement in the function of the foot, in particular the support, which will have a direct effect on the position of the pelvis for better body stability.
Thanks to better shock absorption, many pains from the foot to the back, via the knees, are relieved: "We work on the best distribution of the support and we use elements that act on the muscle chains. As soon as we have a better distribution, we have a balance, a harmony that is created, and the muscle chains can work at the moment when they need to work during the sporting movement. Overall, if the movement is good, then there is no problem.
As soon as there is no more pain, the runner can concentrate on improving his performance. In addition, the risk of injury is significantly reduced.
Quickly feel good in your shoes
Even though the footing changes and the contact with the foot is different, runners are not bothered for very long by wearing insoles. "When they put the shoes on, yes, it feels strange. But as soon as they start running or walking a little bit, or even if they wear them 24 hours a day, because more and more people wear running shoes all day long, habits are formed very quickly.
Each person will obviously take more or less time to get used to them, but the most important thing is to be comfortable, both in the shoes and with the insoles: "An orthopaedic insole should not be uncomfortable. If it does bother, it means that somewhere there is a problem. The athlete's movement will be altered and this can trigger other pains.
However, pain can persist even with a perfectly adapted insole. The problem then comes from somewhere else, further inside the body.
