The insoles remove pressure from the back of the heel by means of a wedge. Book a consultation at one of our 175 clinics. Children with heelpain and frustrated parents was the beginning of our journey. Our founder, Per Ollgaard has for more than two decades specialized in foot related problems. He says: "I've worked with the production of insoles for many different types of foot problems for as lo
ng as I've worked with feet. The foot is a complicated and unique construction that sets the base for the entire body. Our feet have very different shapes which means that they have individual demands when the foot is injured and is in need of help. From experience insoles often play an important role in reinstating the foot's functions. To produce insoles is exciting and creative work, where you use different materials with different qualities - depending on what kind of injury, the shape of the foot and demands to how much load. Years back I experimented with different insole solutions for clients who had had a fracture on the heel bone. Due to the fracture they were no longer able to put any pressure on the foot, as the heel pad was destroyed. After a lot of failed attempts, I finally found a solution where the pressure on the heel could be reduced - simply by applying a wedge to the middle of the foot, thereby making the heel hover. With new materials I began to test the same principle on children with Sever's disease - a heel pain syndrome. A diagnosis that previously could only be treated by letting the child take a break from their active lives - to much frustration for the child, the parents and myself. The first couple of children who were treated with the insoles reacted spontaneously by being able to run without any pain as they left the clinic. The feedback from parents were very positive and someone even described the insoles as "miracle insoles". At first it was challenging to maintain the high effect in all children, but in time I developed an insole that had great effect each time. Today I have an insole, that thanks to experience and better materials help 90% of all children who are treated at the clinic." Our Solemaids insoles can be found as a treatment solution at more than 80 clinics in Scandinavia, Balticum, the UK and Australia. Go to our website to find a clinic near you.
