Improving Posture with Orthotic Shoe Inserts
You may not realize it, but poor posture is a major contributor to back pain. Slouching in your chair, hunching your shoulders and tilting your head can all lead to back pain. The way you walk, stand and run also has a huge effect on muscles in your back Often, proper posture begins at your feet. Without proper foot support it’s difficult to have proper posture.
Correcting your posture can have immediate benefits in relieving pain. Straightening your shoulders, pulling in your abdomen, and properly balancing weight on both feet will not only result in a better appearance, but will tremendously reduce strain on back muscles.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the use of ergonomic products “can greatly reduce the risk of back injury and help maintain a healthy back.” Ergonomically designed chairs, desks and tools that provide proper support and positioning are also effective in relieving back pain. Other products, such as specially designed shoe inserts, can help relieve back pain when standing, walking and running by providing proper support and alignment for feet, hips and knees.
Performing upright activities without proper support is a leading cause of back injuries. Running, lifting and twisting are all activities that depend on proper support from the feet. It is vital to balance weight evenly on the balls of your feet, support the arches, and keep ankles, knees and hips in alignment with the body. When arches are unsupported, or knees and hips bow in or out, back pain and injury result. Many specialized products have been created to solve these problems and provide proper foot support. One notable and affordable product, the Phase 4 Orthotics shoe inserts, covers all of the bases, including arch support, alignment and balance.
As seen on TV, Orthotics shoe inserts are designed to relieve pressure on the back by creating balance and alignment, as well as providing support. Available in all sizes, and easily affordable, the inserts are a good first step in relieving back pain.
Another important factor in relieving back pain is moderate exercise and stretching activities. A regular routine will build and strengthen back muscles and result in better posture. As your physical condition improves, so will your posture. As your posture improves, back pain will decrease. Regular exercise can also help keep you more aware of your posture, reminding you to keep your shoulders back and your stomach in. The use of shoe inserts that keep your feet properly aligned also serve as a reminder to maintain proper posture.
High impact activities such as running or aerobics can also be a source of back pain due to improper balance and support. Taking care to stretch thoroughly and making certain that ankles and arches are properly supported is vital to preventing back injuries.
When searching for back pain relief, or preventative measures, posture, exercise and support are vital. Starting at the root of the problem, which can often be improper foot support, can provide major relief without the use of drugs and medical treatments.
