Running

Running is one of the most popular ways of getting fit. Thousands of people take part in fun runs and marathons every year. There are magazines, books and web sites containing advice on weight management, improving fitness and times. Unfortunately almost every runner has experienced the disappointment of being injured.

Every time the foot strikes the ground, forces equivalent to five times body weight are transmitted through the feet, up the legs and into the lower back. These forces can cause aches and pains in the legs and feet. NovaPed insoles can be used to protect and cushion the feet.
