Foot Conditions
The normal arch functions as a shock absorber for our entire body. Each time we step down we place up to 5 times our body weight on the foot, depending on whether we are walking, running, jumping, or carrying heavy loads. If the arch is either too low or high, it cannot function as efficiently as a shock absorber; thus, the pressure of each step is absorbed by the soft tissues and bones of the foot. These structures are not designed to absorb these forces, and after a few hours they become "tired or achy."
Biomechanical problems in the feet, such as pronation, may prevent the ligaments, tendons, and muscles from binding the joints together properly. This allows the joints to slip, the arch to collapse, and the bones to move into abnormal positions. When these actions occur, the foot can no longer act as an efficient support for the body. The results are feelings of fatigue and "achiness" which spreads to the legs and back.
Loss of the protective fatty pads in the heels or balls of the feet can also lead to tired and achy feet and legs. These fatty pads act as cushions which absorb the tremendous forces that are applied to our feet with each step that we take. If these pads become too thin, or disappear all together, the bones and joints in the feet absorb these stresses instead. When this occurs, our feet become tired, "achy," and eventually painful. This fatigue eventually travels to the leg muscles, causing them to ache.
ALLEVIATING FOOT, LEG FATIGUE AND PAIN
One of the most effective method of relieving foot and leg fatigue and "achiness" is to use liquid orthotics. Synergy Massaging Insoles will help to:
Re-establish the normal position of the joints in your feet, thus allowing your feet to function efficiently again, helping to alleviate fatigue and "achiness."
Support the arch of the foot, allowing it to be the efficient shock absorber it was designed to be, when it is at its optimum height.
Using glycerin which mimics the body's protective fatty pads once again maximizes the shock absorption at the heels and balls of the feet. This will reduce the stresses and forces on the bones, joints, and muscles of the feet. The feet will feel younger, and foot and leg fatigue and pain will subside.

Therapeutic Synergy Solution

|
Synergy Massaging Insoles re-balances the foot so that you no longer will walk with your weight forced on the inner border of the foot. This is accompolished by reducing pronation with the liquid orthotic insole. Reducing the abnormal weight forces on the big toe and its metatarsal head, allows the feet to function normally.

Medically Approved - How Synergy Insoles Can Help You
UNDERSTANDING PRONATION & SUPINATION
PRONATION BIOMECHANICS
- The heel rotates away from the center of the body.
- The little toe moves away from the center of the body.
- The foot flexes up slightly and the ankle rolls in.
SUPINATION BIOMECHANICS
-
The heel rotates towards the center of the body.
- The big toe moves towards the center of the body.
- The foot flexes down and the ankle rolls out.
To understand these motions while standing, try this with your own feet.
Stand with your feet parallel and facing foward.
Rotate your body and look over your left shoulder, without moving your feet.
Stand with your feet parallel and facing foward.
Rotate your body and look over your left shoulder, without moving your feet.
Your left leg has rotated out (external leg rotation) and your weight will be on the outside of your left foot.
Your left foot is supinated.
Your left foot is supinated.
Your right leg has rotated in (internal leg rotation) and your weight is on the inside of your right foot.
Your right foot is pronated.
Your right foot is pronated.
