Why Custom Orthotics & How Can We Help?
Why Custom Orthotics & How Can We Help?
● Custom orthotics (also called orthotics, insoles or orthotics) are devices placed inside shoes to restore the natural function of our feet. Many common complaints, such as back, knee and hip pain, are caused by poor foot biomechanics.
● Biomechanics is the science of how the human body moves while walking, running and playing sports. The most common form of poor foot biomechanics is excessive pronation, where the arches drop and the foot and ankle roll inwards. Excessive pronation affects up to 80% of people worldwide.
● Orthotics correct excessive pronation, realigning the bones of the foot and ankle to a neutral position. This improves the natural function of the foot, which not only reduces foot and ankle problems, but in many cases also relieves knee, hip and lower back pain.
Why Do We Need FOOTWORK LAB Orthotics?
● Since we walk on hard, flat surfaces every day, almost 70% of the population suffers from some degree of excessive pronation.
● While overpronation may not pose a problem for many people, it can lead to serious foot problems such as ankle pain, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, and metatarsalgia if not treated properly and in a timely manner.
● FOOTWORK LAB orthotics can correct excessive pronation and help reduce or eliminate many common pains. Orthotics are an effective and inexpensive solution to excessive pronation. Purchasing a pair of orthotics can prevent many serious lower body problems and is a worthwhile health investment.

How do FOOTWORK LAB custom-made functional orthotics work?

How long do FOOTWORK LABs orthotics last?
● Daily use:3-10 months
● Light exercise (once a week):2-6 months
● Moderate exercise (2 times a week): 1-4 months
● High-intensity exercise (more than 2 times a week): 1 month.
● It is recommended to replace the orthotics in 3-6 months, as the orthotics has a service life and the elasticity will slowly disappear.
● Criteria for replacement: 1) the support of the orthotics becomes lower; 2) ffoot problems reappear, such as pain.
How do FOOTWORK LAB orthotics exactly work?
● Orthotics do much more than support the arch of the foot. Orthotics adjust the position of the foot and ankle, restoring inadequate foot function. In addition, orthotics provide more even weight distribution and relieve pressure on painful areas such as heels, feet, corns between toes, and bunions.
● Orthotics also provide a degree of shock absorption, but this is not their primary purpose. The primary purpose of orthotic insoles is to improve foot function, which in many cases can reduce pain and prevent serious problems and injuries in the future.

● First, we have three main lines of orthotics - Medical, Daily, and Athletic - with a total of 30 orthotics. If you want to know more, we can recommend products and send you a catalog for your reference.
