ViscoPed foot orthoses have long soles, meaning that they softly cushion the entire sole of the foot. The forefoot and heel areas also feature special pressure relief zones that deflect typical pressure peaks and distribute them evenly across the foot. This relieves pain, particularly when the foot is under strain. The inlays also gently support the longitudinal arch, thus helping to counteract pes planus (flat feet). Their shock-absorbing effect also protects the ankle, knee, hip and spine. The softly cushioning ViscoPed foot orthoses help relieve sole pain, also known as plantar pressure pain, and correct misalignments of the forefoot or toes. The inlays distribute pressure peaks evenly across the entire surface of the foot. They therefore act as a shock absorber in closed shoes and protect the ankle, knee, hip and spine in equal measure.
