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