Get Arches in Your Feet
Â
The Medial Longitudinal Arch (MLA) extends from the inside of your heel along the bottom of your foot and connects to the big toe. It is a critical structure to allow for good shock absorption of the forces transmitted through the body from the feet during gait.
When the MLA is lower to the ground or ‘flat’ it can cause an uncontrolled over pronation of the ankle joint.
Overpronation is where the ankle joint ‘rolls in.’ Common injuries that occur from a flat MLA and over pronation include: Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, bunions, stress fractures, arch pain, shin splints and over use tendon injuries.
Custom made Orthoses Devices can be implemented to strengthen the MLA and maintain a neutral ankle joint alignment to control over pronation and relieve pain.
A custom made Orthoses is made by taking a mould of your feet to get the exact shape of each foot. It is then uniquely modified to create the individual’s perfect Medial Longitudinal Arch and neutral ankle joint to allow the ideal heel to toe gait.
