About
Nordic Skiing Orthotics
"In the past, cross country ski racing
and training was very hard on my feet due to
the need for continual balance and movement.
I used to race a 50km race and hardly be
able to walk afterwards. Today, with my Foot
Dynamic orthotics, I am able to comfortably
get as much balance as needed and my feet
actually feel great after a ski session of
any distance.
I truly can tell that my Foot Dynamics
orthotics have made a difference. This year,
after the 30 and 50km races, I could walk
around normally and feel fine throughout my
whole body."

Custom orthotics for X-C skiers will not
only enhance comfort but are also
advantageous to performance. Overall, custom
orthotics in Nordic ski boots will help an
athlete feel more at one with the
skis
.the skis, shoes, and feet working
together efficiently and comfortably. In
skate skiing orthotics will dramatically
improve the skiers ability to get onto the
edge of the ski faster and provide a more
efficient push-off. Custom footbeds and
orthotics will also help reduce potential
strain both to the stabilizer muscles of the
feet and the knees during push-off. For
classic cross country skiing, custom
orthotics will help stabilize and support
the feet for better balance and a smooth
glide across the snow. Common foot problems
treated by footbeds and orthotics are arch
strain, heel pain, knee discomfort and lower
back ache. |
