Sensory input shoes - improve coordination balance ?

[Guest guest]

wanted to share about these shoes, I bought them for ds totally by

accident (he needed new school shoes and I liked the look of these , it

turns out they are based on new design and technology that is supposed to

maximise sensory input and improve balance & coordination, sports

performance etc.

ds now loves them and I must say his walking and esp running appears less

clumsy, more coordinated... (could partly be due to qigong, but also these

shoes as there was noticable difference on day 1)

Note: they do warn that it takes a while - the brain and body - to adjust

to wearing these. On the first day ds could hardly walk to school (walked

sideways!) but by the end of the day was absolutely loving them and was

trying out running, jumping etc...

If anyone's kids have tried wearing these I'd love to compare notes!

hi natasa, , this link looks interesting, zach has insoles, the first time 4

years ago they damaged his soles so much they were bleeding took 10 weeks to

heal, this time we were advised by a sensible physiotherapist to do it for 2

hours a day, this meant I told the school to put them in his shoes at 1 pm, now

after 6 weeks he can wear them all the time, i think with this link you have

sent, it would be wize to try out after school for anybody wishing to do this

and gradually build it up. The physio did not inform me of how long we should

have them in his shoes, which I felt was unprofessional, but I would have

thought until you saw a clear normal instep and normal gait
