An independent research by the University of Jyväskylä Finland and University Salzburg Austria confirms that FootBalance 100% Custom Insoles have the potential to prevent injuries. FootBalance constantly looks to build on our background in physiotherapy.

Independent research confirms: FootBalance 100% insoles have the potential to prevent injuries

Finnish FootBalance 100% custom moulded  insoles reduce the most common foot misalignment, overpronation, which increases susceptibility to pain and injuries during walking and running. This is the main conclusion of an independent research study carried out by the scientists of the University of Jyväskylä and the University of Salzburg.

The research has been published in the globally respected publication the Journal of Biomechanics in March 2017.

The effect of FootBalance 100% custom insoles was noticed during walking and running, though in running much greater loads are placed upon the foot and lower limbs.

The research results can be considered significant as over 75% of the population suffers from some form of foot misalignment, increasing the risk of various foot related injuries. Often the support offered by the standard insoles in running shoes  is not enough to correct the effects of overpronation.

Insoles improve overall body alignment

Pronation is a normal movement that occurs during walking and running. It is the body´s natural way to absorb shock and adapt to uneven surfaces. In overpronation the feet and

ankles can rotate too far inward and the feet´s own shock absorption mechanism does not work properly. This exposes lower limbs and the whole body to various injuries, such as shin splint, plantar fasciitis and problems with the Achilles tendon.

FootBalance 100% custom insoles are now proven to correct the effects of misalignment by forefeet overpronation. When feet are supported in correct alignment, also the position of the knees, pelvis and hips are corrected, thereby providing a solid foundation for the entire body.

The dynamic support of FootBalance 100% custom insoles enables the foot´s natural movement

Comparing with traditional stiff orthotics, FootBalance 100% custom insoles are dynamic: they aid the foot´s natural movement. Therefore, the foot´s own shock absorption works as intended and the body does not absorb the shock as is the case when using rigid orthotics.

The dynamic feature of FootBalance 100% custom insoles is essential especially in running, as with every step the lower limb joints receive the impact equivalent to three times the body weight – for example a person weighing 90 kilos, the impact is 270 kilos.

FootBalance was established by physiotherapist and innovator Erkki Hakkala in 2003.

His vision was to develop custom moulded, high quality insoles that improve foot health and reduce foot related pains and make them available to all.

FootBalance´s innovative concept; a comprehensive foot-analysis and individually moulded insoles made directly on-site, has attracted a great deal of interest worldwide. After its commercial launch in 2007, FootBalance has grown from a domestic Finnish company into an international player, whose insoles are currently sold in more than 50 countries in 2000 sport stores and medical clinics.

She won Women’s National League Player of the Year in 2018 & 2019, and was also the Golden Boot winner for finishing as top goal scorer last year.

The importance of fitness training for all sports participants continues to grow significantly and training has almost become a sport in its own right. In recent months, working out at home has proven the most versatile way to keep athletes moving forward.

Commenting on Intersport Elverys new brand ambassador, Anne-Marie Hanly, said:

“We are very excited to work with Rianna and believe that she is a great role model and inspires others to train harder, to be at their best. This association further emphasizes Intersport Elverys as a destination for people who love to train – at home or at the gym as well as those who train for their sport.”

Speaking at the launch, Rianna Jarret said:

“Playing professional football is a dream come true, and I’m fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones being able to train and play in a professional environment. I’d like to think that, seeing where I’ve come from, I can hopefully inspire other young people on how rewarding training and sport can be, both mentally and physically. I’m excited to work with Intersport Elverys, who are at the heart of sport. I’ll be working with them alongside their other sponsored teams and athletes across other sports as well as having access to the latest products to support me – both on and off the pitch.”

The campaign, What It Takes – which launches next week and features in-depth interviews with Rianna and Bundee Aki among others, aims to inspire and educate athletes of all ages and at all levels about the hard work that leads to success on game day.
