At some point in their lives, 75% of the population will suffer from foot-related problems, which often resulted in pain or discomfort in the feet, ankles, knees, hips or lower back. But only 2% will seek help. Most people do not relate this pain and discomfort to the true source - their feet. In fact, many people think they have to live with the discomfort or hope it will go away.

Why do people have problems with their feet? It's simple. The foot is always in motion and under enormous pressure from the body's weight. As you walk or run, your entire weight lands on your feet, up to 15,000 times a day.

Doctors and scientists know that with the proper orthotics, many problems with the feet, legs and lower back can be remedied. If you have experienced this type of discomfort, ask your practitioner about the innovative and proven Footmaxx system that provides relief quickly, easily and painlessly.

Here is how
The Footmaxx System works.

You walk across a computerized forceplate that's connected to a computer. The mat has 960 electronic sensor points built into it.

As you walk, the forceplate captures the motion and timing of your foot throughout the gait cycle.

This data is analyzed by the computer to produce instant 2D and 3D graphic images of the pressures under your feet that you can see on the screen. The same information is then send to Footmaxx via modem where sophisticated diagnostic software specifies the prescription for your custom orthotics and can generate a comprehensive gait and pressure analysis.

There is a secret to making orthotics that give you exactly the right correction - accurate measurements of the way you walk. In the past, doctors relied on plaster or foam casts to get a static impression of your feet. However, these casts record only the shape of the foot at rest not bearing any weight. The Footmaxx system helps your practitioner analyze your gait and prescribe the proper orthotics to help your feet function better.
