Arches Footcare is excited to introduce a new and revolutionary way to make foot orthotics. The Future of orthotics is here, come and see us at Arches for more information on how these orthotics may change your life.
ACTIVE INSTEAD OF PASSIVE — STIMULATION OF MUSCLE CHAINS
Orthopedic disorders are often as good as pre-programmed into knees, hips, Achilles tendons or the back, starting as early as childhood and caused by lack of stance control from foot misalignment. Since our bodies are not built of isolated parts, but are “chained” together through joints, any foot malposition will almost always affect the joints and muscles located above it. PROPRIO®foot orthoses can help balance muscle chains and relieve joints. |
Sensomotorik foot orthoses by Woltring/SPRINGER*
FOOT TRAINING AND MOVEMENT OPTIMIZATION WITH EVERY STEP Foot orthoses stimulate the receptors in the muscles and tendons of your foot and the body responds to these stimuli by adapting its muscular tension. Sensomotorik foot orthoses are also called active foot orthoses because they stimulate the active elements governing movement – our muscles. This takes pressure off the foot, harmonizes movement and facilitates running. The PROPRIO® orthopedic experts check and analyze your sensorimotor function, your body's statics and, above all, your movement patterns. You receive competent advice and, as needed, your own unique, custom-fit PROPRIO® foot orthoses. Your feet are the basis for—and the key to—harmonious movement and, as such, belong in expert hands, such as our Certified Pedorthist's, Heinz Reichl. *All information and Illustrations on this page are property of SPRINGER ACTIVE AG, Berlin

CONVENTIONAL OR SENSORIMOTOR?Conventional foot orthoses
Conventional foot orthoses use biomechanical correction to properly secure and take pressure off painful feet. They distribute pressure under the sole of the foot and support passive structures, such as ligaments and bones. Sensomotorik foot orthoses Sensomotorik foot orthoses do even more than this, because they moreover stimulate the foot sole's sensory receptors, allowing muscles to be stimulated or relaxed and alleviating pain in ailing foot structures. |
What is the sensomotorik system of the body?
Every movement of the body is governed by the tension and relaxation of muscles. In order to maintain its equilibrium during movement, the body constantly checks and influences the state of muscle tension using special sensors, called proprioceptors. The palms of the hands and the soles of the feet are home to a vast array of receptors. They receive input from sensory stimuli and report this information to the control center of the autonomic nervous system. Sensory stimuli trigger a motor response — muscle tension or relaxation — via the proprioceptors using the principle of message and response. The aim is to enable optimally coordinated and balanced movement and avoid pain. We make use of this active principle in our proprioceptive foot orthoses.
