Footwear has long been a tool to provide either comfort or performance to daily activities. Some more technical categories of shoe, such as specialty run, have gone further by proposing they can prevent injury. But can footwear act as therapy in itself? We believe it can. Much in the way that contemporary footwear designs are reducing injury rates by reducing tissue load, functional shoe innovations can provide specific and sometimes immediate relief to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, knee osteoarthritis, and more.
This webinar dives deeper in selected functional elements of footwear and how these components that are ostensibly used to improve comfort or performance can also provide a significant therapeutic benefit.
