Additional PTSIR Golf Services
Custom Foot Orthotics
Foot pain among golfers is common due to many factors in the game of golf. Walking on uneven terrain, the rotational effect of the golf swing, miles of walking all contribute to an over-use situation which can affect the feet. Common foot issues include plantar facilities (heel pain), arch pain, metatarsalgia (fore foot pain) and knee pain. Providing proper support with foot orthotics can go a long way toward eliminate most foot discomfort.
Foot stability is the basis of a great golf swing. Custom foot orthotics provide a more stable platform for the feet and can improve your golf swing. It is important to note, however, the USGA does not allow you to “create a stance” by altering the shoe or using an insert which is designed to specifically affect the golfer’s swing. Your custom orthotics from PTSIR are designed to minimize the biomechanical faults of your feet.
