Benefits of technology

The present invention is a therapeutic insole that can be added on top of existing footwear. It has a chamber that can be filled with different fluids like gas, liquid or gel-like substances. The fluids move around in response to changes in pressure caused by a person's weight shift. This movement can help relax the muscles and tendons of the foot, remove toxins and promote better blood flow. The insole can also have different shapes and restrictions to make it more effective. Additionally, the invention also discloses a method for adjusting the size and changing features without tools, which makes it easier for retailers to carry a limited number of products while accommodating a wide variety of needs.

Problems solved by technology

As each foot is unique, a retailer may be challenged to maintain shelf space to accommodate the large variety of products.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Any activity where a person is on their feet for a length of time can result in foot pain or fatigue. More stressful activities, such as running, can cause impact injuries which directly affect the foot and transfer throughout joints of the skeletal system. The therapeutic insole 100 disclosed employs a dynamic fluid layer 26 to provide both cushion to minimize impact and immediate therapy to the plantar tissues of the foot. Furthermore, the therapeutic insole 100 works by stimulating the muscles under the foot and promoting circulation deep into the toes—critical to those living and coping with diabetic neuropathy. This increase in circulation provides a natural healing approach while soothing damaged nerves and stimulating muscles. Users who use such an insole report impressive improvements in comfort and pain management.

Abstract

An insole installed on top of existing footwear with a sealed chamber extending across the plantar surface of the foot filled with a fluid that can traverse across the chamber in response to pressure caused by a weight shift by the wearer. The movement of the fluid (which may be a liquid, gas, or gel) serves to massage the foot muscles and tendons, release toxins, and increase circulation. The chamber may also have restrictions or unique shapes to guide the fluid for maximum effectiveness.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]Original Non-Provisional ApplicationBACKGROUND[0002]The benefits of wearing insoles are well known in the fields of sports medicine and health sciences. There are a number of common foot ailments which may be associated with either a particular lifestyle activity or a pre-existing medical condition. Runners, for instance, often suffer from plantar fasciitis, wherein the band of tissue between the toes and the heel become tight and tear, while those living and coping with diabetic neuropathy require additional stimulation across the base of the foot to increase circulation. To address these conditions people often seek out therapeutic massage to encourage oxygenation, venous return, and increased lymphatic return in order to relieve pain and reduce fatigue.[0003]Use of an insole designed to massage and stimulate the tissues of the foot can provide immediate relief as well as long-term benefits in addressing these issues. A dynamic insole is...
