intelligent insole design vs bodywide joint pain

[written 02/20/17, the day i ordered the smart kinetic motion control insole, after watching 3 videos and reading more articles on the pronation problem/solution]

over-pronation and the design of this insole are fascinating and best explain everything better from my tight calves, to calf pulls and ACL/MCL tweaks, to the hip cramps i get after soccer/training, the weak ankles prone to sprains, the low back joint instability, etc.

experimenting for 5-10 days with bandaid sized moleskin pads under the length of my big toe bone, i immediately noticed my feet/knees felt better, and how i was able to stand still behind a camera for 3 hours on a tv show production, without pain or the need to shift weight, fidget in every way imaginable, or 'need' to sit on a stool.  

after 4+ months of achilles pain atop years of plantar pain, i also had enough confidence to return to gym squat/barbell class, trusting this metatarsal pad would shift the load across the right muscles vs just my quads.  it did shift weight a bit better front to back quads/hams, but i still get very sore quads for 6 days from squats, 25% more on my R side which is doing the work for the weaker L side, so still need to view/fix the muscle weakness/recovery and numbness/balance hurdles as a chemistry imbalance i.e. minerals/micronutrients, etc.

this is the only insole specifically designed to help the body correct itself naturally, to help the arch strengthen itself and do its thing, and how these insoles do it is phenomenal.  the original patent goes back to 1920s (if not mistaken) yet more massage therapists than doctors know about this or promote it.  and the debate among podiatrists is endless (it might be a risk if half of the complaints could potentially disappear from medical/pharma radar).  

my plantar pain got so bad in 2012 after indoor soccer on cement did a number of stress on them, that i had to do a $40 visit to podiatrist.  he told me i had hypermobility in a big toe, that one leg is 3mm shorter and suggested i invest in a $400 custom orthodic which was an expensive 50% solution that created new pains and wore out in a year aka was not good roi.

recalling what he and rehab folks noted re my gait and foot mechanics, how my shoes wore on the outer edges, and now thanks to this site, i'm learning someone figured out suppination is really over-compensation for over-pronation aka pronation in disguise.  solve one, solve the other.  and these insoles do that.  hallelujah. 

also on this site, they say 80% people with joint/back pain happen to overpronate.  as it turns out, this stat helped me accurately guess 7x in a row, the length of people's 2nd toe based solely on their ankle/knee/back surgery history or injuries.  it validated the 80%.

so after 5 years of trying and experimenting with so many solutions, and 5 days of experimenting with moleskin toe pads with notable success, i'm ordering these unique insoles because they're the only insoles anywhere on the market that understands the anatomy thus is designed to naturally kinetically strengthen the fascia/arch and the only one with a stiff wedge under length of first toe bones enabling the big toe to hit the ground sooner and for the whole body/brain/foot to do their job, to take the bulk of the weight-bearing vs let the 2nd toe joint do all the work.  and by doing so, help stop locking up the fascia without pause/relax periods, that can lead to unstable/weak ankles/knees/hips and si joint in low back, and refer pain up to the shoulders/neck and jaw/teeth.  

suboptimal posture leads to 24/7 bodywide stress/pain decades later, and occurs even faster or more profoundly if you do any athletics or grew up doing them, as in my case.

and impinging posture can lead to all kinds of x pushing on y, and even force the lungs to draw less oxygen which can lead to sleep/energy issues, even immune system/skin issues. 

these guys understand that less is more re 'corrective' insoles.  they want the 33 bones and the muscles in each foot to get naturally stronger and do the work to build its own arch vs come to rely on 'arch-support' as with every other insoles and orthodic on the market.  for extreme cases only, arch support is a glue-on option in this smart insole system.

so i'm excited to finally see some light at the end of the tunnel, many of my joint issues, maybe mood/energy issues may benefit from this realignment, are about to realign my weak/unstable ankles and iliosacral joint aka low back/sacrum, up into my jaw/teeth.

i just ordered the one and only insole designed to correct and alleviate my entire posture, head to toe and vice verse.  long story, but its a major find that the medical industry has been side-lining since 1920s and since JFK's whitehouse physician continued that work.  

80% of folks with musculo-skeletal bodypain share the same basic foot structure/problem that my granny gifted me, my siblings and mom.  if it works for me, it could solve mom's same pains, even her osteoarthritis by some estimates.  it might even take the edge off other symptoms like irritability/impatience or memory/mood or fatigue/allergy issues.
