SOLEMAIDS INSOLES
Let us get your kids back to playing sport
Solemaids
Heel pain or Sever's disease is common among children between the ages of 8 to 14. Research indicates that heel pain is the most common cause of pain in this age group. Solemaids insoles help to relieve heel pain caused by Sever’s disease. They are specifically designed for this condition and plantar fascia.
Sever’s disease is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children and teenagers. The condition is caused by an inflammation in the growth plate of the heel, which can set in when this area is exposed to repeated stress, as a result of high impact activity.
Kids who are physically active or engaged in sports that involve a lot of running or jumping, especially on hard surfaces, have a greater risk of developing Sever’s disease. For these kids, the pain can become so severe that they have to take a break from their sport.
But it’s not the kid that needs a break. It’s the heel.
By suspending the rear part of the heel, Solemaids insoles remove the pressure from this area. This immediately relieves the pain and allows the child to resume physical activity.
With Solemaids insoles fitted in their shoes, active kids won’t have to be benchwarmers.

Test for Sever's
Foot and Ankle Assessment
If your child is active in sports.
If your child suffers from constant or recurring pain in the heels.
If you have tried to give your child a break from sports, but as soon as he/she starts again, the pain returns.
When you visit your Foot and Ankle Specialist to test for Solemaids we perform some basic tests.
1. Heel Squeeze Test
2. Walk on Heels
If painful we try a special Solemaids wedge to see if this reduces pain.
If so then we try the orthotic.
Solemaids Research & Evidence
In 2017 physiotherapist Per Øllgaard systematically collected data on the condition of children showing symptoms of Severs disease.
Methods
492 children with heel pain in the growth plate area were examined and diagnosed. 469 were included in the study and received the intervention.
Results
– The children were affected with heel pain and inactivity for more than 10 months on average
– Nearly 80% of the children dropped out of sport fully or partially
– More than 90% of children had no effect from conventional treatment (heel cup, rest, exercises, sports tape and other orthotics) I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.
