How do orthotics help the needs of people who engage in sports?
Sport activities result in unusually high amounts of stress and pressure on the foot and the surrounding joints. Slight imbalances or abnormalities in the foot structure can result in unnecessary strain on the muscles, tendons and joints that could result in injuries. Orthotics can eliminate the need for your muscles to compensate for these quite often “hidden” abnormalities, reduce fatigue and promote a more efficient “muscle memory” that is crucial to an effective sports performance. Runners, walkers, skaters, tennis players, volleyball, cyclists, skiers, baseball, softball, soccer or any one who may engage in sports activities can benefit.
