Insoles and foot analysis in Kolbotn

Get rid of pain with custom-fitted Gaittec insoles

Does it hurt under your foot or in your ankle when you walk, or do your knees, hips or lower back ache after an active day?

Your feet are the foundation for your whole body. If the arch of your foot collapses, overpronates or is loaded unevenly, the joints and muscles further up the body have to overcompensate. At Behandlerverket Kolbotn, naprapath Glenn Halvorsen combines in-depth biomechanical understanding with Gaittec moulded insoles, so you get a stable base and the right offloading.

What can Glenn help you with?

Glenn Halvorsen has more than 15 years of experience as a naprapath. With foot and overuse problems, he always looks at the whole picture – from how your foot meets the ground to how your pelvis and back move.

Insoles and foot analysis are particularly effective for:

• Ankle and heel pain: Stabilises the ankle and reduces irritation and load in the part of the ankle that is troubling you.
• Achilles tendon problems and shin splints: Supports the foot so that the Achilles tendon and calf are subject to less rotation as the foot rolls through each step.
• Forefoot pain (Morton's neuroma / metatarsalgia): Lifts and offloads the transverse arch so that nerves and joints are spared unnecessary pressure.
• Knee, hip and lower back pain: Gives you better conditions for loading your body more appropriately and avoiding overload.
• Prevention at work and in sport: For those who stand and walk a lot on hard floors, or who want to avoid overload when running.

How a foot analysis and insole appointment works

• Conversation and functional foot analysis: Glenn examines the mobility of the joints in your foot, your muscle strength and your gait pattern. If needed, the examination can be supplemented with the clinic's diagnostic ultrasound to assess tendon structures precisely.
• Heat moulding and correction: The Gaittec insole is heated and moulded directly to your foot to ensure an optimal contact surface and stability.
• Fitting in your shoes: The insoles are ground down and adjusted so that they fit perfectly in the shoes you use most.
• A complete plan and exercises: An insole solves a lot, but you get the best results in combination with advice, stretches or strengthening exercises for the calf and arch.
