Balance Issues
Balance issues occur when the feet and ankles are not able to provide a stable foundation for the body. Since every step relies on the feet for alignment and control, poor foot support can lead to unsteady walking, increased fatigue, and a higher risk of falls. Balance problems can become more noticeable with age or after injury.
Common Symptoms
Unsteady walking on various surfaces
Frequent tripping or feeling off-balance
Feet tiring quickly during daily activity
A sense of wobbling or insecurity when standing
Increased risk of falls or near-falls
What Causes Balance Issues
Weak foot and ankle muscles
Flat feet or high arches affecting alignment
Nerve damage such as neuropathy
Past ankle sprains or instability
Aging and decreased joint control
When the feet don’t provide a strong base, the rest of the body must over-compensate to remain upright.
How Support Helps
Supportive insoles help stabilize the feet and improve alignment from the ground up.
This promotes stronger posture, smoother motion, and increased confidence with each step.
