Ballet
and Dance Insoles
What exactly
are'Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics'?
Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics
are devices designed to restore your natural foot
function. Many 'biomechanical' (walking) complaints
such as heel pain, knee pain and lower back pain are
caused by poor foot function. Ballet and Dance Insoles/
Orthotics re-align the foot and ankle bones to their
neutral position, thereby restoring natural foot function.
In turn this helps alleviate problems in other parts
of the body.
In addition, Ballet and Dance Insoles/
Orthotics give a more even weight distribution, taking
pressure of sore spots (e.g. the ball of the foot,
corns in between toes, bunions etc) and they provide
some shock absorption.
Who needs Walking Footbeds?
Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics benefit dancerswith
foot/ leg pain or discomfort due to walking imbalance
(biomechanical complaint). Imbalances such as flat feet,
heel pain, knee pain and shin pain are known to cause
pain and discomfort.
What specific conditions
may be helped?
Below is a list of all the conditions that Ballet and
Dance Insoles/ Orthotics can help.

Ankle Sprains, Flat Feet, Neuroma, Tendonitis, Arch

Imbalance in your feet can alter the bony structure
of your feet and lower legs. Ballet and Dance

problems and foot and leg pain.
Do I need a doctor's
prescription to order Walking Footbeds?
No. Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics are available
in foot care stores and via internet sites.
Why do I need Ballet
and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics ?
Imbalances of the bones of the feet can result in
abnormal foot motion (over pronation). This can impair
foot function which can result in abnormal rotation
of the legs and sometimes affects the knees, hips or
back. If we combine these tremendous forces with the
need for precise balance, we can see how small structural
changes in the foot can make significant differences.
Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics help to improve
those structural changes.
If I use Ballet and Dance
Insoles/ Orthotics will I become dependent on them?
No. Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics simply allow
the muscles, tendons and bones of the feet and lower
legs to function at their highest potential.
How long will my Ballet
and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics Last?
Usually between 12 to 18 months.
Does it take time to
get used to Ballet and Dance Insoles/ Orthotics ?
Your feet need time to adjust to the correct biomechanical
(walking) position. Orthotics should be gradually used
to begin with. During the first 48 hours of use, use
the orthotics for approximately 3-4 hours. After this
period of time it is recommended you use the orthotics
for 6-8 hours. In the second week of use the orthotics
can be utilized all day.
