Orthotics from BODYBACKUP by SIDAS

People often suffer foot pain at some time in their lives, frequently along with sore legs, knees and back pain.  These are often caused by poor mechanical alignment affecting the way you run, walk and stand.

Foot orthotics allow the muscles, tendons and bones of the feet to function at their highest potential. When appropriately prescribed, orthotics can reduce foot pain.  Orthotics are shaped with bio-mechanical features to support the natural shape of your feet, as well as increase stability and cushioning "I have found the ‘Orthotic Shoe Insoles’ from Body Back-Up, which I have put into my work shoes, extremely beneficial. They help my posture and every time I change my shoes I put them into the next pair. It is just like having my old shoes on again, just like carpet slippers!” David Sprot (63) Management Accountant Bracknell Sports – Jogging Testimonial – Orthotic Insoles I visited your clinic in 2001 and had some very successful treatment on a back problem caused mostly by fallen arches.  You sold me some insoles (skiing) for £30 ish which I thought were expensive at the time but you said they would outlast my shoes.  Yeah, right I thought. 11 years later they have just about worn through!  That’s with daily use!  Outlasting several pairs of shoes and trainers. So, I am back for more!  Just about to buy a pair for myself and for my 11 year old son (who wasn't even born when I bought my first insoles!) Hows that? Seriously - many thanks for what you did at the time.  I have not had many re-occurrences of the problem since and those that I do have are caused by me not following your stretching exercises properly. My very best regards David Miller (45) Architect Bristol March 2012 Testimonial – Orthotic Insoles I have been coming to see Robin for a year now, having been in absolute agony, and not being able to run for about 3 months.  Within 3 months I was running again and he recommended some insoles to put in my trainers and I have always got through a pair of trainers every 6 months at £120 for a pair of trainers is rather expensive and since I have had these insoles – which I put them in January in a new pair      of trainers and I haven’t had to replace them thus far and I don’t think I will be for at least a few months.   The insoles have been absolutely amazing – I have gone 9 months without any back pain whatsoever, so I would recommend them highly.

MEMORY FOAM ORDERS

Memory Foam Mattress Toppers - Special Order

“Memory Foam” moulds to the exact contours of your body providing a soft support cocoon for a perfect nights sleep.” ·         Originally developed for the NASA space programme, memory foam, works in a different way to standard polyurethane foam. ·         Memory Foam moulds exactly to the body’s shape and create a softer, more luxurious feel than standard foam. ·         As well as providing excellent pressure relief, memory foam overlays allow the body to be fully supported, align naturally and consequently relax. ·         As it is temperature sensitive (it gets softer the warmer it becomes) the areas of foam in contact with the body soften, moulding to the body’s shape, whilst the surrounding foam remains firmer, forming a supportive cocoon. ·         This enables the mattress to relieve pressure points and provide evenly balanced support, reducing body movements and restlessness during the night, ensuring a refreshing nights sleep.

Benefits of Microwave Heat packs for Muscular stiffness

Testimonial for Heat Packs

“Having just come to the Osteopath for the first time and had some treatment, which in itself has been fantastic, I was recommended to the heat-pack which I then took home with me and have used consistently for the last two days and have found it amazingly good.

It is very easy to use, very comfortable.  Once you have put it on you can move around with it on and the results are marvelous. 

It just helps the process through and I would recommend it to everybody as it is an easy, simple solution when you are at home, working, anywhere.  It is unobtrusive and well worth having.”

The Packs may be heated in a microwave and applied to areas of stiff muscle or frozen in a freezer and be carefully applied after injury to areas of swelling or soreness.

When heated, the packs maintain an even temperature and the moist heat is slowly released over approximately 20 minutes.

To freeze simply remove the slipcover and place the pack in a plastic bag in the freezer until cold to the touch. The pack maintains flexibility even when frozen.

Contrast bathing – alternating between several minutes of hot and then cold and then hot again, can be useful to stimulate blood flow in stiff muscles.
