ANTI-FATIGUE

Automotive workers in factories often spend considerable time in static positions, engaging in repetitive actions without covering medium or long distances. Over time, this repetitive strain can result in musculoskeletal issues such as fatigue, leading to reduced productivity, reduced morale, pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility. Prolonged foot fatigue may result in further discomfort or strain to the lower body, legs, hips, and spine. alleviate pressure and provide shock absorption An effective insole should offer arch support,

For many automotive workers, spending long hours on their feet each day is simply a part of their routine. Given over approximately 25% of the bones in our bodies are situated in our feet, they bear considerable weight and pressure daily, especially during prolonged periods of standing at work. This underscores the importance of providing adequate foot comfort and support for the wearer. The effects of foot fatigue can vary from minor annoyance to severe exhaustion. Utilising supportive insoles with dynamic features can alleviate discomfort and contribute to maintaining proper posture and alignment of joints. An effective insole should offer arch support, alleviate pressure and provide shock absorption.
