Prokinetics: An easy, fast, intelligent product for the foot
Prokinetics are very different to conventional rigid orthotics, they are what is called a “proprioceptive insole”.
This means they engage the central nervous system to help the feet and posture become stronger and more balanced. Prokinetic s are based on cutting-edge kinetic technology. They help realign the posture and take undue pressure off the feet while improving function and performance
Reduce Injuries
Often, repetitive injury in runners and cyclists is caused by the foot rolling-in. This creates micro-trauma in the ligaments and joints, and over time creates foot and knee strain that can result in injury. Foot and knee injuries have flow-on effects to other parts of the body, such as the hip, pelvis and back, but ProKinetics can help counteract this negative impact on your body.
Helps normal growth and development
Growing bones can cause stress on young people’s bodies which can be compounded by weak feet. Weak feet can cause excessive rolling-in of your child’s foot, which can have a negative impact on their overall posture and body balance. During this time of growth, it is important for parents to ensure development occurs normally. ProKinetics are a simple way to give your children a helping hand as they grow.
School Shoes
Your children’s school shoes are the perfect place for ProKinetics. Because they are active at school, they will receive the maximum benefit from their feet being stimulated by the insoles. ProKinetics are easy to fit into school shoes and can be swapped with ease across their various pairs, including sports shoes.
ProKinetics are usually used in children aged 5-7 years and over. Below this age, a ProKinetics Provider may recommend specific treatment, foot strengthening and/or postural exercises.
Reduce lower back and knee pain
Lower back and knee pain is a common complaint by those who work in manual professions such as builders, plumbers, fire fighters, policeman and soldiers. In such cases, it has been standard practice to recommend traditional orthotic products to support the foot’s arch, but the rigidity of such products does not allow the foot to act as a shock absorber. This creates the need for the other joints above the foot to take on the function of shock absorption, such as the knees and lower back.
Support the body
ProKinetics can help improve the foot’s spring action and your overall posture and body balance. This can have a positive impact on your body’s mobility throughout the day and can continue when you get home from work.
