The foot – The Body’s Main Informant

Attention: open in a new window. printemail

sensofluss_150x300The foot is the main source of information for sensorimotor signals in the body's information flow. Feet constantly transmit information to the brain and make coordinated movement and posture possible.

The sensorimotor function includes the recording and processing of bodily sensations as well as the ensuing response of the muscles and the musculoskeletal system to these sensations.

Part of the successful functionality of this highly complex structure is due to tens of thousands of years' worth of constant stimulation to the foot's muscles through the need to adjust to uneven, hard or soft surfaces.

Civilized people step on hard shoe soles and smooth surfaces. Therefore, the foot's muscles are no longer stimulated. The motor commands that start from the foot are greatly reduced and stunted. What results is a malfunction in the entire musculoskeletal system.

Sensorimotor specialized insoles strengthen and activate from foot to head

Step by step, sensorimotor insoles stimulate the receptors of the foot's sole. The brain detects the new stimuli and activates a newly adapted motion sequence. The foot actively rights itself and the musculoskeletal system's muscle tensions can therefore be newly coordinated. The strengthened feet send stronger signals and harmonize the entire balance of the body. A more active flow of information from the foot to the brain originates.

Sensorimotor specialized insoles improve the functionality of the foot's muscles: muscle tensions and pains in the musculoskeletal system dissolve.
