Best insoles for rehabilitation

Balance, stability and mobility

Our feet play a crucial role in maintaining our balance, stability and mobility – hence their importance when it comes to injury prevention, recovery and rehabilitation.

Typically there are three types of products on offer in the insole market:

1. 'Comfort insoles' which are simple generic, usually squishy shoe inserts which provide a cushioning effect in the shoe; typically made from gel or soft foam.

2. Custom orthotics, which are individually created via prescription to address specific foot problems.

Custom orthotics fix the foot in one position, which unfortunately limits natural foot function.

3. 'Support insoles' - these are typically usually made of a harder type of foam.

These insoles are made to give arch support for feet, as well as stability and mitigate issues such as splayed feet, dropped arches, and plantar fasciitis.

The G8 difference

G8 Performance Insoles encourage natural foot movement - exercising the muscles, increasing blood flow and engaging the nerves and receptors of the foot.

The feet are the body’s “self-levellers”. They function most naturally when bare, allowing the bones to move, the muscles to strengthen, and the blood to flow optimally.

(This is why beach walking barefoot is so beneficial).

When feet are in shoes, natural movement is inhibited – this compromises the function of the foot and leads to compression of bones, muscles, blood vessels and nerves.

This impacts negatively on balance, flexibility, strength, and overall stability, and can lead to a myriad of problems in the feet.

The body then compensates in an unnatural way and problems can extend up the legs and even into the hips and back.

Bottom line: G8 Performance insoles deliver you completely customizable, orthotic insoles you can quickly and easily adjust yourself.

Truly customized comfort, less injuries and ultimate performance.

For sport, and life.

Why an for rehabilitation?

Our feet are intricately connected to our ankle, knees, hips and spine.

This means that any abnormality or misalignment in the feet can have a significant impact on the rest of our body.

This is especially true when it comes to injuries and rehabilitation.

When we suffer an injury, our body compensates for the injury by changing the way we walk or move.

This can lead to further issues – even secondary injuries.

This is why the adopting the right rehabilitation regime is critical.

And why any knee, hip, ankle, spine or foot-related problems need to be addressed as soon as possible, to prevent any further damage or injury.

How 2620s Support and Benefit Injury Rehabilitation

Put plainly, 2620’s work by redistributing pressure – reducing overall stress on foot, and body.

They’ll often alleviate pain
immediately – then gradually improve the alignment of the foot.

2620s Promote Natural Foot Movement

By helping your feet behave and perform as if they were bare, 2620’s…

- help to improve the overall function of the foot

- improve gait and balance

- reduce pain and inflammation

- and by providing support to the arch of the foot, 2620 Insoles also help to reduce the stress on the plantar fascia, alleviating pain and inflammation of Plantar Fasciitis.

The above (along with our customer feedback) is why we believe our 2620’s are the best insoles for rehabilitation and injury prevention.

A true biomechanical solution

G8 Performance orthotic Insoles provide a biomechanical solution to foot problems at their source:

1. By maximising splaying and flexion of the forefoot.

2. Supporting the arches, maintaining optimal bone structure

3. Increasing foot blood flow.

4. Reawakening nerve receptors for increased proprioception

(i.e. Reawakening your subconscious awareness of your body, its movement and positioning - through the feet)

5. Lessening pain.

6. Increasing force out of the bottom of the foot.

7. Increasing strength and flexibility of the foot over time.

8. Decreasing return of force up the leg.

9. And enhancing balance and stability.

G8 insoles enable flexion and splaying of the forefoot under the body’s load, so that the feet function in the same way as they would without a shoe.

They flex with your foot, are fully adjustable, and are a dynamic device that works with the natural mechanics of your foot - a true suspension system for your arches, stability at your heel, and cushioning under the metatarsal bones at the ball of the foot.

With G8s in your shoes, you’ll perform better, whatever the activity, and you’ll feel better doing it.

That's our promise.
