The daily routine of getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom will undo any healing process that may have occured over night. The rest of the day (time on feet) adds to fascia strain. This is why plantar fascia tears cannot repair themselves. We have solved that early morning problem. Once pain-free in the morning, sufferers are well on their way to fibre repair and finally a cure.

From hundreds of assessments over the years, our biomechanist consultants identified the deviation inwards of the Calcaneus (heel bone) at ground strike of patients with Plantar fasciitis. It is accepted medically that when the Calcaneus deviates (rolls) inwards during a forward gait, the major joints in the foot arch unlock. This creates a loss of arch support for body weight. The Plantar fascia in the heel-to-toe motion then experiences excessive tension. Over time, eventually becomes inflamed with micro-fibre tears. Daily routine and time on feet continue to increase stress. Intense pain occurs early in the morning because fascia tissue is medically cold and contracted. Undoing any overnight healing.

We have conclusively proved that the only way to cure acute Plantar fascia pain is to return the arch to a weight-supporting structure. But, standard expensive orthotics lift the arch. This is counterproductive, as arch-based orthotics force pressure upwards, increasing strain and preventing any healing process. Soft, cushioning insoles just allow the feet to roll in further.

With our own laboratory technicians and biomechanists, we designed a new form of Insole (Kraedls) with a unique, angulated parabolic curve inside the heel cup. This prevents the Calcaneus from excessive rolling inwards, allowing the foot arch joints to become self-supporting. In addition, a deep channel running heel to toe is incorporated, taking further strain off the fascia. Kraedls are curved on the inside for extra control and comfort.
