Does it feel as though you're walking on broken glass?

If this happens to you when getting up in the morning and the arches of your feet hurt from the heel, and pain radiates along your arches to the underside of your foot towards the soft pad near your toes then there is a strong possibility you have the condition called Plantar Fasciitis.

We haven't evolved as a species in the past 50 -100 000 years and we are primarily designed to walk on sand and soft surfaces and not really intended to walk on hard concrete tiles bitumen wooden floors or the other myriad of hard floors that abound these days. We need to support our arches and not walk barefooted on these, and the result of this means our arches drop ever so slightly until they start to overstretch, and this in time leads to micro tears in the connective tissue of the Plantar Fascia positioned in front of the heel under the arches. This leads to stabbing pain in the arches when you get up in the morning and as you move around the pain usually decreases but returns after long periods of standing and when sitting down the issues can be intolerable.

This may take years to fix the solution or it may fix itself but the real issue is to stop your arches dropping and even if they drop slightly it still impacts your entire body with devastating consequences. The reality is you need to stop your arches from dropping 100% and the only way to do this is with heat moulded arch supports.

The supports I have been selling for over 10 years with almost no returns speaks highly of these orthotics and at $100-$110 respectively (2/3 and full length) they are cost effective and also in my experience the only long term solution available. Once they are fitted with a heat gun (Takes about 5 minutes) your body heat keeps them maintained in their correct support structure. Even if you gain weight or take it off they continue to support 100%.

The material they are constructed from was designed by NASA (With the assistance of a Sydney Podiatrist and a Sydney doctor of Orthotics) and is called Ethylene Vinyl Acetate or EVA for short, and is designed to mould perfectly to your foot and support you 100%, as your arches intended, and once cooled stays in the same shape, as the EVA material retains the memory of its shape and stays the same as intended to support and nurture your most prized assets, your feet.

Look at the size of your feet to the rest of your body and they really do need all the help they can get and your shoes definitely need to be accessorised. They are cleaned easily in the washing machine or with warm soapy water and are designed to be totally transportable from shoe to shoe as this is the key to their success and should be worn as much as possible. Please message me or text to arrange a consultation or fitting, if on the Gold Coast, and can be easily delivered to most areas around the country by post.
