Sports Specific Fit
Runners
The repetitive action of running places an enormous amount of stress on the body which can cause foot,
knee, hip and back problems. These problems can be compounded by ill-fitting footwear. Common
injuries experienced by runners such as Plantar Fasciitis, Ilio Tibial band syndrome, knee pain and shin
splints can be alleviated with the right footwear and custom insole*. A prorun custom insole fitted to the
right footwear will reduce the chance of injury, increase performance and improve comfort.
*Working together
with medical professionals such as physiotherapists is essential part of the rehabilitation programme.
Golfers
Your feet have the sole responsibility of orientating your swing with the planet. The slightest degree
of postural misalignment can dramatically affect your ability to build a 'repetitive swing'. progolf custom
insoles will stabilise your feet, evenly distribute your weight, reduce fatigue and improve comfort. progolf
insoles optimise the level of motion control through the feet and lower body for producing the effective
contra-lateral foot movements required for a golf swing. progolf custom insoles will also improve
bio-feedback (muscle memory etc) again helping you to build a ' repetitive swing'.
Ball sports
In ball sports such as tennis, squash, football, rugby, hockey etc, where there is a lot of side-to-side
movement along with forward and aft. This places the body under considerable stress with a sudden change in
direction to fast movements. Protecting the muscles and joints from high loading and impact is important in
preventing injuries of the feet (heel), ankles, knee, hip and back. proball custom insoles work with the
sports specific footwear to help cushion from harmful impacts, reducing excessive foot motion while supporting the feet.
Skiers
proski custom insoles are the foundation of a well fitting boot. They will not only increase the comfort
and fit, but aid the way you ski too! A skier can experience up to three times their body weight through their
feet. For a skier to apply constant, controlled pressure to the edges of their skis, the skiers' feet and legs
must act as levers. If however their feet are not supported it will affect their ability to remain in
balance, not allow correct distribution of pressure and thus cause pain. A proski custom insole will stabilise
the feet, redistributing the pressure evenly and ensuring feet and legs are able to deliver the necessary power
to the edges in comfort.
Cyclists
There are huge technical demands associated with cycling and even the smallest advantage translates into
huge gains in racing. A lighter frame and expensive components all help but are nothing if you are not functional
efficiently - you might as well forget it! Proslim custom insoles help to provide a more efficient delivery of
power to the pedal while maximising the transfer of energy and increasing endurance. Cyclists often suffer from
foot pain such as burning under the balls of the feet and knee pain due to poor alignment originating from the feet.
