Healthmarque Proprioceptive Insoles
As the world becomes urbanized the majority of the population is walking in shoes on hard level concrete surfaces. This does not allow for the proper reflex stimulation of the growing foot and muscular imbalances will occur. This easily evidenced by simply looking at the shoes. An uneven wearing at the heels means that each side of the body is getting a different stimulation with every footstep.
The Healthmarque orthotic is a thin combination of rubber and suede containing pockets that can be filled with a crumbled synthetic rubber designed to stimulate but not support selected the plantar muscles to produce a postural correction. We believe hard supporting orthotics will weaken the arches by taking over their muscular function.
