Footwear-based treatment for knee alignment and pain relief
Apos Therapy
Overview
Apos Therapy uses calibrated footwear designed to correct gait and relieve pain caused by knee osteoarthritis. It helps improve joint alignment, mobility, and comfort through gentle, daily use.
Apos Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that retrains walking patterns using a pair of individually calibrated shoes. Each shoe features convex pods that shift pressure and promote better balance, posture, and knee alignment. The approach is particularly beneficial for older adults with osteoarthritis of the knee who want to reduce pain and improve daily movement without surgery or medication. Clinical research has shown improvements in gait, pain scores, and overall function with consistent use.
