Do you feel you are off balance? Have you fallen? Are you afraid of falling?
If you don’t already know about the balancing effects of arch supports - YOU NEED TO!
The balance test you see on infomercials isn’t a gimmick. You can pass
balance tests on all sides of the body when wearing supports that fit
your foot and all 4 arches. A support that addresses all 4 arches moves
the pelvis into
a position, known as the "pelvic tilt," that changes your center
of gravity. This means your spine is aligned differently and you have
more strength and stability while wearing the supports.
Most arch supports - such as those you see in the drug stores or that are
custom made for physicians - only address heel placement and 2
arches. If
you try the balance test in these kinds of supports, you will see that you
cannot keep your balance.
You can train yourself to keep your pelvis in the optimal position, but it requires a fair amount of training in specific exercises as well as being continually conscious of how you are standing. Wearing an arch support that supports all 4 arches does all this for you.
With arch supports and the right shoes you can be active in daily activities and exercise and be safe from falling.
