Liquid Orthotics
Archimedes is considered one of the three greatest mathematicians of all time. One day, while entering his bathtub, Archimedes recognized the amount of water that overflowed the tub was proportional to the amount of his body that was submerged. This observation is now known as Archimedes' Principle:
- "Fluid moves to the area of least resistance and greatest need."
- "Water seeks its own level."
Synergy Massaging Insoles works on this 2,500 year old principle of physics.
Each time we take a step forward, all of our body weight first rests on the heel of one foot. As our weight moves forward, the entire foot begins to bear the body's weight and the foot flatens. Then we push-off with our toes and the ball of the foot, forcing ourselves forward.
Synergy Massaging Insoles are filled with glycerin. Because glycerin is a viscous liquid it has a relatively high resistance to flow. Similar to syrup. This high viscosity allows the foot to be re-balanced by evenly distributing the weight of the body on the insole.
The glycerin cushions the foot then compresses and expands from the heel, arch and the ball of the foot as you walk. The pressure of the body on the heel forces the glycerin to flow toward the toes through channels designed to maintain equal body weight distribution on the insole. When you push-off the ball of the foot the glycerin is forced back to the heel of the insole.
This perpetual walking motion massages the bottom of the foot, stimulates the blood arteries on the foot and energizes the circulatory system from the toes, ankles, knees, hips and lower back. The improved blood flow reduces swelling and inflamation of these lower extremities.
