Why should individual orthopedic insoles be used?
Although simple for us, humans are the only creatures on earth that can stand up and walk on two legs. Of course, our feet play a big role in us being the only living thing that can.
It is our limb that we do not pay attention to because our feet are ordinary in daily life, but they make every step comfortable with their excellent carrier and shock absorber function, they are in contact with the ground and work with a delicate balance. However, it has a wonderful neural network that transmits the information it receives from the ground that is vital for us to our brain.
The human foot constitutes 25% of the bones in our body, with 33 joints and more than 100 soft tissue elements working together in both structural and functional terms; ligaments, tendons and muscles.
In researches, it is found that a person takes an average of 5000 to 10,000 steps per day. With this activity, ankle has a high risk of injury between 15% and 25% of all injuries in our body. In addition, individuals with structural deformities / imbalances have a much higher tendency to injury and severity of injury than healthy individuals.
The feet, which have very important functions for our body and have a complex structure, are actually very robust. However, the feet punishable by wear and overload may become dysfunctional and painful if not used in accordance with the design / task.

However, in addition to treatment, it is necessary to go down to the root of the existing problem and to correct the disorders that cause these problems.
Therefore, corrective and protective insoles should be used by eliminating the negative effect of shoes that do not come out of our feet in our daily life.
