Elderly patients with foot and knee pain
As we age, the fat padding under the foot thins. Arches drop. Joint stiffness increases. What was manageable at 50 becomes debilitating at 70. But this is not inevitable — and it's not too late.
Your parents may have once been very active and independent… but over time, you may notice changes. This can happen for several reasons:
The natural cushioning under their feet becomes thinner
Their arches may flatten with age
Knees, hips, and lower back joints become stiffer
Diabetes can increase pressure sensitivity in specific areas of the foot
These changes can affect balance, comfort, and mobility.
Walking is one of the most beneficial forms of exercise for older adults, supporting cardiovascular health, mobility, and overall well-being. Unfortunately, age-related foot and knee pain can significantly reduce the ability to walk comfortably. This often leads to decreased activity levels, which in turn contributes to a decline in general health and independence.
Custom-made insoles designed for their feet can:
Restore better balance and alignment
Reduce pressure on sensitive areas
Improve comfort when walking or standing
Help them stay active and independent longer
Custom orthotics for elderly patients are designed to restore comfort and confidence in movement — providing maximum cushioning, improved balance, and effective pain relief. Our assessments are calm, unhurried, and fully adapted to seniors — often in partnership with partner clinics in our network for additional medical support.
