SKATING ARTICLE WRITTEN BY ERIC WARD

Skating.... is simply a one-footed sport. … being “athletic’ on skates means never being on both feet at the same time.

 

This undeniable fact has inspired our one-Footed, Balance testing process. What do we learn from this unique balance testing process? We learn how pronation of the foot affects your whole body when you skate. Pronation, is what we measure with the Shim Balance System. The SBS solves pesky problems in skating, like maintaining body posture line, Equal access to the inside and outside edges, strong side weak side, knee pain, ankle pain, back pain, knee tracking, shin splints, and gripping toes. All are typical symptoms of pronation. This dynamic balance measuring process quantifies pronation in degrees. Then we insert the exact pre angled balance shims that will put your foot exactly where you want it within the boot. You will be left with the perfect balance point for each foot, ervery time you put your foot on the ground, or ice.

Creating the laser perfect balance point is as easy as adding the proper balance shim to your skate. This is not just another foot bed, in fact it is what we call an arch less orthotic. You can adjust the angles as many times as you would like quickly and easily. The shims come in half-degree increments so you can have maximum adjustability.
