Gyrapost
Gyrafit
Gyrasole
Gyrafit orthotic insoles are inserts that slip into your shoes and help to realign your feet.
Slightly altering the angles at which the foot moves and interacts with the ground, making standing, walking and running far more comfortable.
Gyrafit orthotics role is to help practitioners such as
Bio-Mechanists, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Podiatrists and Massage therapists.
Facilitate optimum foot function and ultimately avoid postural stress
Gyrafit’s shape allows the orthotic to act in the same way as a spring, bearing the weight of the body and absorbing the shock produced during locomotion.
Good posture is the state of muscular and skeletal balance, which protects the supporting structures of the body. Poor posture is a faulty relationship, either caused through injury or progressive deformity of the various parts of the body. Increasing strain on joints, causing less efficient balance of the body over its base of support.
The common thread of these factors lies in the goal of promoting appropriate range of motion, good alignment and good muscle balance.
The role of Gyrafit orthotics is to help facilitate optimum foot function.
In simple terms the foot is encouraged to become a more efficient lever in propulsion while avoiding excessive ranges of motion, which place postural stress on the entire body.
Dual Disc Adjustable Heel
Flexible 3/4 Orthotic Shell
Tri-Planer Arch Support
Dynamic support at every stage of the stepping cycle
Heel Strike
Begins as the heel meets the ground. Gyrafit corrects the angle of strike between the heel and the ground, the most important stage of rear foot alignment.
Early Flat Foot
Begins the moment the foot is flat on the ground, the bodies centre of gravity over the top of the foot. Gyrafits dynamic shell flex’s, absorbing and cushioning the foot as the bodies weight moves.
Late Flat Foot
Once the bodies centre of gravity passes the neutral point, the foot changes from being a flexible shock absorber to a rigid lever. Unlike other rigid insole orthotics Gyrafit’s dynamic shell support deflects, allowing the foot to efficiently propel the body forward without any hindrance.
Heel Rise
Once the heel leaves the ground the foot becomes rigid for forward propulsion. The force going through the feet at this stage are 2-3x the person’s body weight.
Toe Off
Begins as the toe leaves the ground. Representing the start of the swing phase. Gyrafit springs back into supporting position, ready for the next heel strike.
