Knock Knees

Many people suffer pain in their  joints, some quite severely. There are a variety of reasons for this. One such cause is incorrect posture.

A young lady who suffered painful knees for some time, had searched for conventional treatment but to no avail. Upon assessment by a medical grade footwear practitioner, it was discovered she had very high arches, weakened ankles and subsequently knock-knees. In some cases knock-knees can be hereditary.

General footwear was unable to provide her very high arches with the support they needed to maintain correct skeletal alignment and posture. In the absence of arch support, other joints were called upon to compensate. Undue strain caused weakening of the ankles and aggravated her knock-knees pain. 

Medical grade lace up boots, were custom fitted with build in arch supports, skeletal re-alignment and correct posture was achieved. The result –no more  joint pain and no need for invasive surgery.

Support your feet – the source of good health!
