Orthotics can help you perform better in sports.
Running, golfing, tennis, walking, and other activities can all benefit from custom orthotics.
Sports activities result in a considerable deal of movement and strain on the foot in athletes. With the added stress of athletic activity, minor foot imbalances that are not detrimental or even visible under normal conditions may make one more sensitive to injury. Orthotics can reduce tiredness and promote effective muscle activity to improve performance by removing the need for one’s muscles to compensate for subtle imbalances.
Consider your feet to be the foundation of a structure. The integrity of the structure is retained if the building is built on a stable foundation. The building will most likely not last long if it is built on sand. Because the stresses that occur on the feet are transmitted up through the ankle, knee, hip, and lower back, custom orthotics and footbeds offer the foundation for the rest of the body.
The following are some instances of how orthotics are used in various sports:
Orthotics are used by runners and joggers to absorb shock upon heel contact, give control, and prepare the forefoot for pushoff. Running is hard on your feet, so semi-rigid orthotics with added padding assist absorb the shocks while still allowing you to maintain control.
Sprinters use orthotics to control their forefoot movement.
Cyclists have a limited requirement for orthotics, which they wear largely to manage the lower leg’s internal and external rotation.
Skiers use orthotics to keep their feet in a neutral position and prevent motion within the ski boot.
Tennis players use orthotics to help with lateral support, shear factor reduction, shock absorption (particularly in the forefoot), and subtalar motion.
Basketball players use orthotics to manage their forefoot during jumping, rearfoot control during running, and excessive inversion control.
