Do You Know Your All Important Foot Type?

Did you know that the function of your feet, how you walk, and common conditions are all genetic? If your parents had flat feet, or bunions, or shin splits, chances are that you could have these conditions too? You also stand the chance of passing these conditions along to your kids. 



WE CAN HELP! There is something you can do about it before symptoms become worse. Find someone who can tell you your foot type and what symptoms and conditions you are likely to experience throughout your lifetime. There are ways to treat these conditions to help prevent further pain or deterioration. A well-fitting pair of functional orthotics is one of the ways you can stabilize your body, walk correctly, and experience less painful symptoms.

ASK YOUR PRACTITIONER How you can get foot typed and get started on a path to less PAIN. If you don't have a practitioner, we can help you find one. Check our FIND A PRACTITIONER tool on our website.

And don't forget your kids, we have children's models available. For more info check our website.

Holiday Foot Survival Tips



We all know how crazy these last few days of the Christmas rush can be. And oh, those aching feet! Hours of shopping, parties and food preparation. Be sure to take the time to be kind to your feet with the following tips!


Holiday Tip #1

Be sure to exfoliate to remove the dry skin, put on some nice lotion (especially at night!) and wear comfy socks.


Holiday Tip #2

Get a foot massage. It can help prevent foot and ankle injuries, depression or anxiety, and headaches. It can improve circulation and lower blood pressure. And it just feels great!


Holiday Tip #3

Check your shoes to make sure they still fit, and if you have foot orthotics, check them for the correct size and excessive wear!


Holiday Tip #4

Be sure to change up your shoes, especially if you are wearing high heels. Wear them for as little time as possible, then change into some soft socks or slippers to give your feet a rest.

Holiday Tip #5

Use your foot orthotics in comfy shoes as much as possible. If you don't have foot orthotics, you should! They will help you to stand and walk correctly from the ground up. If you don't have a practitioner, use our FIND A PRACTITIONER tool. If your shoes are too narrow for orthotics, be sure to at least use a gel cushion to help take the pressure off of your feet.

Treat Your Feet and be Thankful!


With Thanksgiving next week and then the big holiday rush (cue the muzak), I'm sure most of your are getting pretty tired. Especially those of you who stand on their feet all day, and then go home to stand in the kitchen and cook! Do you know your feet can cause pain all the way up your body?

Like the foundation of a house, it all begins at the ground. Your foot structure often contributes to shin, knee, hip or back pain. Have you ever wondered how a higher arch can increase the likelihood of heel pain and ankle instability, which in turn changes the way you walk? Are you aware that most adults have a leg that is longer? 

Pamper yourself this holiday season and go visit a qualified clinician and find out your foot type. Each foot type requires a different type of correction to align your feet, legs, and spine. Your clinician can explain how your foot type contributes to the type of pain you are experiencing, and how orthotics properly balance feet and can dramatically improve your overall posture and strength and decrease your pain.

Why wait? Find a Practitioner who sells QUADRASTEPS and littleSTEPS for kids.

YOU WILL BE THANKFUL!

Ever Wonder Why You Would Need a Foot Orthotic?


Your Feet Are Important!




Like the foundation of a house, it all begins at the ground. Yes, flat feet are often the cause of foot pain. But, did you know that your foot structure often contributes to common ailments such as shin, knee, hip or back pain?




JUST BECAUSE YOUR FEET DON’T HURT DOESN’T MEAN THEY AREN’T THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR SYMPTOMS!
Have you ever wondered how a higher arch can increase the likelihood of heel pain and ankle instability which in turn changes the way you walk?


Are you aware that most adults have a leg that is longer? In fact, the majority of individuals have some degree of limb inequality either in structure or function.

Did you know your shoe size can change even if your feet haven't necessarily "grown"?



Do you wonder if it can actually be healthy to wear a heel occasionally?





 
Ever wonder what a callus indicates?

Did You Know Your Foot Type is Genetic? Your foot type and how you walk is inherited from your parents, just like hair and eye color. You won't "outgrow" your foot problems, and your kids will inherit your feet! 

Foot Orthotics can help with all these conditions, as they actually help to stabilize and control the way you walk so that you are aligned properly, and you have a stronger foundation. That can result in alleviation of pain and symptoms in ALL areas of your body, not just your feet.

Why Treat All Feet the Same?
Your feet are not like anyone else's, why should your foot orthotics be the same?
The QUADRASTEP SYSTEM® is based on the different structural and functional aspects of the foot, categorizing them into 6 specific foot "types". Each foot type influences not only how you walk, but the conditions and symptoms that you may experience throughout your life.
The QUADRASTEP SYSTEM® provides truly corrective prefabricated foot orthotics (not just arch supports) that can bring immediate improvement to your symptoms! Your practitioner can select a device with the correct features for you, based on your foot type.
QUADRASTEP® orthotics are the closest you can get to a custom orthotic, without the expense and wait!
Your practitioner can explain how properly balanced feet can dramatically improve your overall posture and strength to optimize your bio-mechanical wellness.
To find a practitioner that can dispense QUADRASTEP® orthotics, check our Find a Practitioner page on Nolaro24.com and get RELIEF NOW!
