Are Insoles (Orthotics) The New Saviours For Your Feet & Running?
No amount of stability whether in-built in running shoes from the best brands or customised insoles (orthotics) are going to give you a long term solution. Only when you move and load those foot arches, similar to muscles in the rest of your body and even mind, will they get strong.
Excessive sports without fitness leads to disaster
Yes, there is a role for rest, medicines, injections and surgeries in back pain, just that they are advised way too much & too often.
Finding a NEW YOU. Pro-Actively.
