By Mollie Burton


Your feet actually reflect the condition in which your body is in. When you feel like something is not right, you will notice that there are symptoms reflected in them. They are quite evident and they progress according to the stage your health is in. But most likely the onset of the illness is signaled by their condition or appearance.

In the Chinese culture, they regard feet as a very important part of the body. For them, healthy ones make a person productive. This is why they are very much inclined to foot massage. To them, the feet are very crucial to ones overall health and they consider them a separate organ that is connected to all others. With this, several other cultures adapted the idea which lead to the development of custom orthotics.

Orthotics is an area in the medical field that is concerned with manufacturing products that apply orthoses. Orthoses is a device that is used externally to modify the functions of the neuromascular and skeletal system. Industries introduce them in the form of a foot pad that is inserted in the shoes. They are like insoles but they are custom made and function as a medical appliance.

Like the eyeglasses, they are made according to your level of need or correction. They are primarily there to relieve you from stress and and correct any defect that you are experiencing. Also, since they are custom made, they are matched to fit you foot imprint.

Using them can really do you a great deal of good. Since everyday activities bring a lot of pressure which causes the body to strain, products such as this could be a great partner. Instead of spending daily allowance for massage, you can just use a custom made insoles to help you out and spend less.

An uncomfortable pair of shoes will really stress you out to no end. With this, you will see how important it is that they feel comfortable. A good pair of footwear that fits you will likely give you a break from the discomfort and endless mumbling. But more so will a designed insole as such.

Everyday, you exhaust your feet by walking any distance may it be long or short. It could be by climbing up the stairs from the ground floor to the third floor or by walking from your office to a nearby park. These activities are not bad, they are even good for your overall health because walking is a very good form of exercise, but sometimes we just do not notice that we overdo things and we tire our body out from excessive passion.

Just like the eyes which tire when reading a book for half a day, the feet too become exhausted from too much use. With this, insoles were devised to alleviate foot pain. In the first place, insoles were used as cushioning which makes one feel comfortable as if walking in cotton. Later on, they called them insole orthotics.

But there is a little difference from insoles or orthotics from custom made ones. Insoles are ordinary foot padding that serves as a cushion and support for walking. Custom insoles however, are those that correct any defect in the feet and in walking. This is a very practical appliance for everybody, but especially to walkers.
