Watching your child miss the sport they love is frustrating.

Introducing Solemaids.
Most heel inserts are designed to cushion the heel.
Solemaids were designed with a completely different philosophy.
Using an innovative floating heel design developed in Denmark, Solemaids are designed to remove contact beneath the painful part of the heel.
Rather than simply adding more cushioning...
the goal is to rest the heel, not the child.

Why parents find Solemaids so different.
Most parents tell us they've never seen anything quite like them.
That's because Solemaids don't simply add more cushioning.
Their unique floating heel design is intended to work in a completely different way.
Rather than asking,
"How do we cushion the painful area?"
The question becomes,
"How do we remove pressure completely from the painful area?"
It's a different philosophy, shown clearly in the images above.
And for many parents, that's exactly why they book a Parent Clarity Call.
They understand that we can rest the heel, not the child.
Could Solemaids be suitable for your child?
Not every child requires Solemaids.
That's why every recommendation begins with an individual assessment.
During your appointment, using state of the art VALD testing technology, we assess:
• Your child's symptoms
• When the pain occurs
• Activity levels
• Footwear
• Clinical presentation
• Current severity
Only then do we determine whether Solemaids may be appropriate.
