Our feet are the foundation of our entire body

Today's times are demanding on our bodies for a number of reasons. One of them may be improper function of the foot arch. These disorders can affect the entire body, even distant areas.

We focus on diagnosing the sole of the foot using functional tests and podoscope examinations. This combination allows us to better identify the cause of pain and better target treatment.

The funcitonal sole is the fundament building block

The treatment consists of active exercises that the client performs independently to improve foot perception and increase stability of the entire lower extremities. If the condition requires it, we supplement our approach with the application of custom-made insoles from Formthotics. These insoles are customized to the client and their greatest benefits include:

Individual adjustment of insoles according to the client's needs
Adaptation if insoles to the client's needs over time
High quality and durability
Great degree of variability with respect to the type of footwear
Possibility of application in barefoot footwear

The most common causes of foot arch disorders are:

Flat foot
Pain in the soles of the feet, knees or hip joints
Achilles tendonitis
Feelings of tired legs
Heel spur
Ball joint deformity (hallux valgus)

When should children have their feet checked?

It is best to have a foot examination and examination for children around the age of 3, when the development of the arch and foot position can be assessed. If a child frequently trips, falls, complains of foot pain or has bunions, an examination is definitely in order.

If necessary, flat feet or other deviations can be addressed earlier - but always individually and professionally. Custom-made insoles are usually recommended from the age of 5, depending on the current condition and needs. In certain cases, we also perform correction with insoles in younger children.
