Heel Lifts (TRIO Elevators – Talar Made – 5 Pairs) 

PhysioAdvisor Shop > Rehabilitation > Heel  Lifts

Heel lifts (or heel wedges) are components typically used to modify orthotics (or place in your shoe under your insole without orthotics) to raise your heel by a certain amount. This tilts your foot and ankle forwards, towards the toes, changing biomechanics and reducing stress on certain structures. PhysioAdvisor sells the Talar Made Trio Elevator  Heel Lifts as they are one of the most commonly recommended brands by Physiotherapists. Talar Made Trio Elevator Heel Lifts have an adhesive undersurface on the bottom allowing them to be optimally placed within your shoe. Alternatively the covering for the adhesive undersurface can be left on allowing the heel wedges to be moved from one set of shoes to the next.

Heel lifts are excellent for the treatment of:

  • Achilles Tendonitis (Tendinopathy)
  • Severs Disease
  • Calf Strains
  • Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Ankle Sprains
  • Achilles Enthesopathy
  • Anterior Ankle Impingement
  • Ankle Synovitis

Heel lifts can reduce stress on the ankle, Achilles tendon and calf during weight bearing activities such as standing, walking and running, particularly in the case of reduced calf or ankle flexibility (decreased dorsiflexion range of motion). When used in clinical practise for appropriate conditions, patients often feel an immediate improvement in comfort and reduction in pain during walking. Heel wedges can accelerate recovery from injury and reduce injury aggravation, pain and swelling. Generally, Heel wedges should be used under both feet to ensure symmetry when walking. Heel lifts can also be used under one foot, to balance a structural short leg (i.e. “leg length discrepancy”) or to treat pain in the knees, hips or lower back, arising from leg length differences. Heel Wedges are also popularly used as a way to appear taller.


TRIO Elevator Heel Lifts

TRIO Elevators come in 6 different heights and should be placed under the heel area of the orthotic or under your heel in your shoe (usually under the insole). Choose between small, medium or large size. They are manufactured from extra firm density to prevent wearing out or crushing.
