ProKinetics™® are the latest in body balancing and posture correction insoles available in Australia.
Correct posture is essential to musculoskeletal health and general well being. Our modern sedentary lifestyle adversely affects our posture. For correct posture we sometimes need help. Based on cutting-edge kinetic technology, ProKinetics insoles help your body by taking undue pressure off the feet, thereby improving your body's postural alignment, function and performance. ProKinetics also help in many cases to reduce joint pain, including low back pain, by helping to realign the posture.
What are ProKinetics?
ProKinetics are a versatile shoe insole designed to improve the body's postural alignment, function and performance. Designed and developed by Professor Brian Rothbart, a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from the US with over 40 years of clinical experience. ProKinetics employ a forefoot technology which focuses on supporting the ball of the foot to decrease the rolling-in of the feet.
Excessive rolling-in of the feet (also called hyperpronation) can cause excessive twisting of the ankle, knee, hip and lower back, resulting in joint pain and restriction in the body's range of movement. ProKinetics help to limit this excessive twisting movement by providing a stimulus to the ball of the foot which helps to re-adjust posture.
Anyone can benefit from using ProKinetics on a daily basis, whether you're a serious athlete, casual walker or have a physically demanding occupation. ProKinetics are comfortable and can be used in many shoe types.
ProKinetics are available in two variations, depending on your needs:
Slimline ProKinetics: Designed to fit all shoes, especially dress-up shoes. Come with the option of arch support and therefore ideal for those with fallen arches and/or flat feet.
Sport ProKinetics: Designed to fit exercise shoes and work boots. Provide more cushioning and support so can be beneficial for people who are on their feet most of the day. Ideal for those who experience plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and shin splints.

Pain and Posture
“Posture is the single most common cause of painful soft tissue syndromes affecting the body.”
Karel Lewit, MD, PhD.
When standing, the feet are the foundation of our posture. When the feet roll-in, they influence the positioning of the rest of our joints, all the way up to the head. Moreover, when one leg is shorter than the other, the problem is compounded because the foot of the shorter leg tends to roll-in more than the other foot creating an imbalance in the body's alignment.
In good posture, the body uses only its postural muscles when standing. The dynamic muscles only come into action with body movements like walking, cycling and running.
In bad posture, the body has to recruit its dynamic muscles to support and balance itself. This leads to more energy expenditure by the body in order to support and balance itself. Another negative impact of bad posture is the fatigue of dynamic muscles because they are turned on all the time to support the body. Dynamic muscles are designed to work and rest, not to work continuously. This is why bad posture can make you feel tired and sore in weight bearing parts of the body, like the back, knees and feet.
When the dynamic muscles fatigue, they also become stretched and weakened, whereas the postural muscles become shortened and spasm.
