Tri Hawk Says Custom Orthotic Industry a Sham
(PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Tri Hawk challenges the custom orthotic industry to prove that custom orthotics are not a sham and worth the several hundred dollars each charged to patients. Tri Hawk points to several studies which concluded that custom orthotics are no better than prefabricated orthotics, and in some ways are worse.
Custom orthotics made of soft materials do not have enough strength to support the arch, in some cases from first wearing, and for all after a short period of use. Custom orthotics made of hard materials like carbon fiber, don't permit the arch to move at all. The muscles, tendons and ligaments of the foot weaken if the arch cannot move.
Tri Hawk engineered the Nature-Fit orthotics from a proprietary polymer to be very thin, but strong. They flex as the foot should flex. This exercises and strengthens components of the arch.
Feet improve when Nature-Fit orthotics are worn, which cannot be said of the majority of custom orthotics.
The custom orthotic industry has little scientific data to support its claim of efficacy, and what data that does exist will not pass close examination. Rigid control of data collection and evaluation was not exercised. Tri Hawk welcomes an opportunity to show the truth.
