How Do Barefoot Science Insoles Help Athletes?
In today's "Behind the Science" feature - Stuart Gordon gives us some insight on how the BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ strengthening system of insoles can help with athletic performance.
Similar to walking in sand, our technology realigns balance in the body and causes the 20 muscles in each of your feet to fire in a way that progressively strengthens them. The best athletes in the world know that to strengthen your body - you have to train. As with any muscle, the more it is trained, the more it is exercised, the stronger it becomes.
Everything from balance, stability, movement and musculoskeletal alignment begins with the feet. Atrophied muscles are directly related to flat feet, overpronation, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, shin splints, bunions, heel spurs, foot, ankle, knee, hip, lower and upper back, shoulder pain, arthritis and diabetic limb amputation.
BAREFOOTSCIENCE™ activates the foot muscles with each and every step, naturally building strength over time - improving these conditions. We offer an intelligent (and scientifically backed) solution to an age-old problem that has never been solved by traditional orthotics. Pain and dysfunction is caused by muscle weakness, so it follows that strengthening is the path to wellness.
