Viscoped Advantages

• Full-length viscoelastic insoles incorporating areas of softer density in the heel and metatarsal region
• Raised metatarsal pad aids in desired realignment of metatarsal heads
• Slight contouring of the arch for gentle support
• Provides shock load reduction throughout the entire length of the insole
• Ventilation holes allow for air circulation to combat heat build-up
• Five sizes may be easily trimmed for optimum fit
• Always available in pairs to prevent leg length discrepancies, Viscoped may be easily converted from one shoe to the next
• Viscoelastic medical-grade silicone provides peak shock load reduction to ankle, knee and hip joints

Viscoped can be used to treat:

• Metatarsalgia- A general term for irritation of the metatarsals; aching pain in the metatarsal bones of the foot result from anatomical changes in their alignment.
• Fat pad atrophy- Also known by "thinning of the fat pad", this condition is characterized by a decrease in the size, or wasting away of the layer of body fat that is normally present to protect the metatarsal phalangeal heads; can also occur in the heel.
• Foot pain (plantar pain) * Pressure redistribution
• Diabetic foot- Frequently results from neuropathy, or nerve damage, in the feet which can lead to a dulling or loss of sensation, making one unable to feel pain, heat or cold; Viscoped should be worn only in non-ulcerative conditions.
• Morton's neuroma- An irritation that is caused by compression of a branch of the plantar nerve between the heads of the metatarsal bones and sometimes occurs when the second toe is larger than the big toe.
• Back and joint pain
• Hyperkerastosis- Thickening of the outer layer of skin. It may occur as an inherited disorder, affecting the soles of the feet.
• Splayfoot- A condition in which the feet are abnormally flattened out.
• Forefoot and toe deformitiesBauerfeind

By placing the large muscles you wish to compress on the roller and allowing your your body's weight to press them into the hard foam, you improve circulation and loosen tight body knots in your muscles and tendons ensuring proper muscle quality.

Foam Rollers come in different sizes

Foam Rolling:

You place the roller between your muscle and the floor and use your body weight to gently and slowly roll for the entire length of your muscle.

When you reach a painful spot, stop rolling and use your body weight to press down. Hold that spot until the pain goes away. If the pain does not seem to go away, don't worry, just continue rolling and hit all of your "spots".

Range of Motion Neck Exercises

One very powerful way of controlling your neck pain is to do daily range of motion exercises, putting your neck through full movement several times a day. This prevents stiffness developing and stretches all the attached muscles, making them less vulnerable to sudden demands.

Posture Pulley Neck Exerciser

Studies show that loss of cervical curve and poor posture often lead to progressive disc degeneration, osteoarthritis, tension on the spinal cord and nerve roots, as well as anterior head translation. In fact, a translation of even a single inch may increase work for the posterior neck muscles by a factor of ten.

With the Posture Pulley, you can enhance your posterior head stabilization muscles, which reinforce an anatomically correct head and neck posture. When used on a regular basis, you will see and feel a noticeable improvement.

Fast. Easy. Effective.
