Q: What do vabena®insoles (NPI) actually do?
A: vabena® insoles
are custom made with proceptors (raised areas in the sole)
that aim to stimulate specific areas under your feet. By stimulating
these areas, proceptors can inhibit or promote muscle tone
through out your body. The change in muscle tone creates an
effect that promotes improvement of painful areas in the muscle,
improvement in muscle strength due to better skeletal alignment,
and improvement in posture due to balancing of body segments.
Q: Are vabena®insoles the same
as orthotics?
A: vabena® insoles
and orthotics are similar in that they are both custom made
to the individual’s feet. The difference is that custom
orthotics are passive appliances that limit or assist movement
in the feet and lower limb whereas vabena® insoles are
active treatment devices since they stimulate your neurological
system. Therefore, the longer you stay on your feet, the greater
stimulation you receive. Traditional orthotics also tend to
be much thicker and heavier, while vabena® insoles insoles measure
only 2-5 mm in thickness.
Q: Where do I get my vabena®insoles?
A: vabena® insoles
are only available through vabena® network partners. vabena® network partners are medical health professionals who satisfactorily
complete the vabena® training and certification requirement
of becoming a Certified vabena® Clinician. When you
visit a Certified vabena® Clinician, you are assured of
high quality product and service. To locate the nearest vabena®
provider in your area, search our Network

Q: Can vabena®
insoles be transferred from shoe to shoe?
A: vabena® insoles
are thin (2-5 mm) and light weight and may be transferred
from one shoe to another as long as they are similar in style.
It is important that the shoe has a flat base where the insole
rests. Your vabena® provider will instruct you to bring
your shoes during your follow up visit to advise you of shoes
that are appropriate for vabena® insoles.
Q: I heard that the benefits of
vabena®can be experienced before I commit to purchasing
a pair, is this true?
A: The hallmark of vabena® is when the
Body Balance Check
is performed on the appropriate candidate, the effects are
felt immediately. Most patients who have had the Body
Balance Check done report experiencing significant pain
relief, improved movement, and increased strength during their
visit. This response has left a lot of clients satisfied and
raving about their vabena® experience. This high degree
of patient satisfaction has been the trademark of the vabena®
brand all around
the world.
Q. How long should I expect my vabena®insoles to last? When should I get a new pair?
A: Provided there is no change in your medical
condition, the efficacy of vabena® insoles should last
at least 12 months. This takes into account the daily wear
and tear on the material. After 12 months, your vabena®
provider will contact you to schedule a yearly Body
Balance Check to confirm that the insoles are still appropriate
for you.
