Patello-femoral
pain (knee pain) can occur in one or both knees and
it is one of the most common causes of knee pain.
Patello-femoral pain is felt in the front of the knee
and occurs when the patella is compressed against
the femoral groove.
The
compression forces increase the further the knee is
bent and as a result pain usually increases as well.
Therefore, patello-femoral pain may be made worse
by activities that involve repetitive bending of the
knee. Pain is often felt going up or down stairs or
after sitting for long periods of time. Patello-femoral
pain can be accompanied by "clicking" or
"grinding" and sometimes by a feeling that
the knee "catches" or wants to "give
way".The primary cause of knee pain is over
pronation. This can be controlled via sports insoles.
People suffering with knee pain whom have been forced
to live with the pain no longer have to put up with
this condition while standing, walking or running.

Proof Sources and Safety Data.
The use of foot orthotics has been researched and
tested by leading institutions around the world, and
is widely accepted in the medical community. Foot
orthotics/ foot insoles are used in both public and
private hospitals and clinics.
Clinical studies and field research verify the value
of orthotics in relieving knee pain and improving
the structural integrity of the knee. Flexible orthotics
control foot motion without restricting function and
creating compensatory movement in other structures.
