FOOTLEVELLERS IMPROVE POSTURE, this should STABILISE YOUR SPINE and should help IMPROVE function

We are very excited to have Footlevelers Soft Orthotics, new 3D Spinal Pelvic Stabilising Foot scanner from USA now at 53 Grimshaw St, Greensborough. This Footlevelers new software and equipment enables us to scan the soles of your feet and take a weight bearing map of YOUR 3 foot arches. Most orthotic companies only support one arch. When only one arch is being supported the problem shifts to another part of your body. Footlevelers Stabilizing Soft Orthotics support the three interconnected arches of your foot, the plantar vault, which can provide support for your entire body’s equilibrium. Footlevelers are individually manufactured in the USA based on the scans of your own feet and manufactured individually to help your postural problems, not just problems with your feet. We believe that correcting imbalances in your feet can help keep your spine and pelvis properly aligned. The joints of your feet provide important ‘proprioceptive’ feedback to the spine and central nervous system and affects your body and posture. Locked up joints of the feet are often associated with a myriad of symptoms such as balance issues, poor posture, anxiety and OCD.

The information from the 3D scan can be used to custom make a flexible orthotic specifically for your foot, improving proprioceptive ‘feedback’ to your brain. In other words, it should help improve function.
Some wonderful studies have shown the following:

• Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers reduced knee injuries by 31%.
• Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers increased hip and pelvic joint ranges of motion.
• Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers improved Balance (eyes open) and proprioception (eyes closed).
• Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers significantly decreased blood pressure and improved Heart Rate Variability.
• A Randomised Clinical Trial showed back pain relief by 44%and improved activities of daily living by 38% in 6 weeks, when wearing Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers.

Discover how Spinal Pelvic Stabilisers can achieve better outcomes for you and talk to any member of our team about making an appointment time to have your feet scanned.
