If you were a patient would this solution make good sense to you?
Place the pointer on the image.
This image* clearly identifies Morton's Foot Structure (Short first metatarsal bone) and Rothbart's Foot Structure (Elevated first metatarsal - The first metatarsal is not fully weight bearing).
Two key questions:
Can arch supports solve the problem of an elevated first metatarsal?
Can the first metatarsal and big toe be induced to push down, thereby stabilizing the foot as a tri-pod and preventing hyperpronation?
The reason so many people find arch supports uncomfortable and even painful to wear is that the medial side of the foot literally has to straddle the arch support for the first metatarsal to reach the ground.
Posture Control Insoles® are designed to induce a proprioceptive response causing the first metatarsal and big toe to become properly weight bearing
Posture Control Insoles® provide a proprioceptive stimulus to the first metatarsal causing the first metatarsal to sense ground contact earlier in the weight bearing cycle. The normal response of the first metatarsal and big toe is to push against the ground forces thus producing a stabilizing effect on the foot. Only patients with flexible flat feet will need a small amount of permanent arch supports. Good-bye to most types of foot pain and posture related body pain, and... no need to break-in painful orthotics.
It makes good sense everyone wearing them -
How about you?
