How bespoke orthotics can help tennis players

Tennis insoles provide the foot with extra protection from extreme movements by redistributing weight allowing for proper alignment of the bones within the foot. By correcting any imbalances foot motion is more efficient and precise.

Preventing injury

The most common injuries in tennis include:

Corns, Calluses, and Blisters
Ankle Sprains (A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward way. This can stretch or tear the tough bands of tissue (ligaments) that help hold your ankle bones together.)
Plantar Fasciitis (an inflammation of the fibrous tissue (plantar fascia) along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes)
Stress Fractures (Running and jumping repeatedly while playing tennis can put stress on the bones, resulting in fractures in the foot, leg, or lower back)
Shin Splints (pain along the shin bone)
Tennis Toe (damage to the toe causes blood to collect beneath the toenail)
