Standing work often involves long hours of standing and frequently repetitive movements. These postures can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which particularly affect the lower back, hips, and knees. And this is true regardless of age!

Pain that develops over time

Carrying heavy loads, prolonged standing, and repetitive movements are all factors that contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Over time, these pains become chronic and affect the daily lives of professionals in the sector. Although physical therapy sessions provide temporary relief, the pain tends to return regularly.

A solution available at pharmacies

There are solutions available to improve comfort for affected workers. Among them are custom orthotic insoles, which can be obtained after a foot assessment at a pharmacy through the Vistapod Pro platform. This assessment evaluates posture and identifies pressure points in order to provide insoles tailored to each person’s specific needs.

Since musculoskeletal disorders are recognized as occupational illnesses, these insoles may be covered by Social Security, making them more affordable.

A positive impact on daily life

The use of orthotic insoles helps absorb shock and correct posture, thereby reducing pressure on the joints. Over the course of several weeks, a noticeable reduction in pain is often observed, making workdays less tiring and more comfortable.

If the pain persists or returns, a new podometric assessment can be conducted to adjust the insoles. This approach helps better manage musculoskeletal disorders and significantly improves the quality of life for professionals who work on their feet.
