What if I have an Injury?
If you have a significant lower limb or foot injury we recommend that you seek the advice of a Podiatrist or specialist Sports, Physio or musculoskeletal Physician before wearing Formthotics. Likewise, if you wear a prescription Orthotic device. These cases tend to suggest that you have a lower limb or foot problem that requires the expert attention of a trained specialist.

However, research and studies indicate that most people can benefit from the use of custom footbeds or custom insoles in their footwear. Some references if you wish to follow up this topic include:
