Effects of sitting
In the meantime I had specialized myself in the ultrasound of the foot and ankle and in lower back complaints. In my practice I came across several examples of people with a sedentary occupation and back problems.
This also brought me to the idea that a therapy insole could possibly influence lower back pain while sitting. At that time I had a young horse that was overly agile and needed the support of the rider very much to be able to keep in stride. But I had an idea .. could these insoles also help with horse riding? I made insoles for myself and decided to put it to the test. First I rode 14 days with insoles and then 14 days without. I asked a friend to observe and comment on what she noticed without knowing what I had done. She noticed the horse was a lot more stable when I wore the insoles.
And that was the deciding factor for me to explore and expand in this area. With several riders I tested whether there was any effect and as it turned out ... 90% had significant improvement with using insoles.
