Golf

Immediate improvement with arch supports

Walking around a golf course is an excellent way to keep fit and healthy. During a round of golf, a golfer can walk between 10-14km. Walking these distances can aggravate existing aches and pains in the feet, ankles and legs. More than half of recreational golfers get injured playing golf every year. Others find playing frustrating because they aggravate existing problems doing something they really enjoy. The majority of these injuries are in the lower back, the legs and the feet.

A solid base is essential for a strong and consistent swing. Golfers turn their feet out slightly when they address the ball to allow their knees to rotate during the swing. This focuses the weight over the medial arches of the feet. Good foot posture and good support under the medial longitudinal arch of the foot is essential for a solid base and a strong swing.

During the golf swing the shin muscles and the calf muscles work extremely hard to provide balance and help transfer rotation during the golf swing. During the down swing the forces passing through the feet are greater than body weight and they are concentrated on inside of the heel, the medial arch of the foot and the ball of the foot. There is also a large amount of friction between the feet and the ground.
