Insoles: effective support for stressed and misaligned feet

Overstressed or, in the worst case, misaligned feet cause pain in the long term and bring with them numerous restrictions in everyday life. Orthopaedic insoles from RUCK can help with you to effectively counteract the gradual development of permanent foot problems.

Benefits and indications of insoles

One of the main causes of foot complaints is incorrect loading over a long period of time. This can be effectively compensated for with the help of foot orthoses. In addition, the insoles help to improve posture by ensuring accurate rolling of the foot. They act as a mild massaging agent and in many cases are even able to correct misalignments of the foot.

The different types of insoles from RUCK

The varied selection of different insoles in the RUCK online shop is aimed at different presentations, for example :

• Flat and splay feet
• Heel spur
  
• hallux valgus
  

RUCK also offers a wide range of other pressure protection and orthopaedic items to alleviate your patients' health problems.

Classic insoles for open and closed footwear

Whether in the form of 3/4 insoles, customisable or gel insoles: Classic, anatomically shaped insoles primarily fulfil the task of providing pressure relief. They also support the arch of the foot and the footbed. Depending on the design, they also have the beneficial effect of a permanent foot massage. They are usually suitable for both closed and open shoes.

Holders, cushions and pads

Heel wedge insoles are designed specifically to improve posture. They also absorb shocks and so provide relief for the entire musculoskeletal system. Heel supports, on the other hand, have the function of ensuring a better hold in the shoe. They are often made from non-slip materials, are inconspicuous and comfortable to wear.

Heel cushions and heel pads also have a cushioning effect. The thin, reusable, washable and mostly self-adhesive insoles from RUCK are especially well suited for pressure relief in slightly higher shoes.

Flat and splayfoot insoles

Flat feet and splayed feet are caused by misaligned foot bones. The symptoms can lead to premature wear of the joints and are often bonded with severe pain.

RUCK's flat and splayfoot insoles alleviate these foot problems. With their soft cushioning, they provide targeted relief for the forefoot area. They are available in different versions, are mostly self-adhesive and are then as good as invisible.

Finding the ideal foot orthosis

In principle, the ideal insole can be found for almost every foot problem. However, it is a challenge for laypeople to find the right insole for their individual needs, which can be difficult to manage.

The topic of foot orthoses always comes up if corresponding health problems occur. If this is the case, there is no way around a visit to the specialist. Orthopaedists specialise in this area and can provide reliable information on further steps.

Once it is clear which presentation is in place and the most effective way to counteract it, we recommend taking a look at the RUCK product range. The large selection of different foot orthoses covers the entire range of treatment options for foot complaints.

Would you like to provide your patients with even more expert advice when choosing their foot orthoses? Then we would put you and your employees in good stead by attending one of the web or classroom courses at the RUCK Academy. They not only cover basic podiatry topics, but also teach the benefits and methods of orthopaedic pressure and friction protection.

Tip from RUCK: Sensitise your patients to the fact that wearing foot orthoses requires a certain amount of time to get used to them. The effect is not immediately noticeable, but often only after several months - provided the insoles are met with regular use and address the individual needs of the person concerned. As soon as the musculoskeletal system has adapted to the new posture, in most cases the health problems are also reduced.
