The SelnerTX™ was designed to align your foot and the lower extremities. When you walk, you’re an athlete. When you stand, you’re an athlete. It’s important to be able to properly manage anything that places forces on the joints of the lower extremity. It doesn’t matter if you walk, run, jump, golf, or ski; alignment is crucial to all of these activities. If your job requires you to be on your feet all day in places like a restaurant, or even at a standing desk, you’re putting pressure on those joints for an extended amount of time, and can certainly benefit from a tool like the SelnerTX™.

Performance in a given sport is a complex matter. The tool itself does not grant you the ability to run faster or jump higher. What is does is help your body manage complex forces as they impact and move throughout your muscles and joints. While this is only one factor that contributes to your overall athletic performance, eliminating the problem of mechanical malalignment brings you closer to peak performance and can reduce your injury risk.

In closed kinetic sports (when the foot is firmly placed on the ground and the joints are compressed by the body weight applied to the foot) such as skiing, golfing, swinging a baseball bat, and cycling, the SelnerTX™ will be of even greater value. Your performance in these sports is related to your alignment.

Adapting to the SelnerTX™ can vary dramatically for each user. Adaptation is an important part of the overall process. When you change alignment, you change the way muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints are stressed, and you change the way forces move up the kinetic chain. For some people, these changes will be felt more rapidly. It’s so important to let your body adapt in its own natural way, since no two bodies are the same. Our goal is to get your body lined up properly, but you need to do it carefully and slowly. If you are having problems, take the wheel off, and wear the orthotic without the wheel until that feels comfortable.

No. The SelnerTX™ is not a cure. It is up to your physician on how to treat your specific problem. The SelnerTX™ is a tool that can control how mechanical forces move up the kinetic chain. We believe this might be very helpful to your problem, especially if there’s a mechanical cause.

However, there are many causes of pain, whether it’s medically induced or from trauma. You should always consult with your physician so they can identify what’s causing your chronic pain. The SelnerTX™ was designed to control the forces that aggravate problems.

There may be some discomfort when you first start using the SelnerTX™ orthotics as your body adjusts to OCA. Aching or soreness can be normal, but this is part of your body’s natural transition, similar to when you go to the gym for a first time in a while.

However, if you are experiencing pain or discomfort that is preventing or limiting you from walking and standing normally, you need to take the SelnerTX™ out and start the adaptation process over again. Leave the orthotic out for a few days and see if the pain disappears. If not, you need to consult with your physician to determine what’s causing your pain.

The shoe you’re using the orthotic with might also cause some issues. If you feel a general tightness, try the SelnerTX™ in a different shoe, or remove the wheel and see if that creates a more comfortable fit in that particular shoe.

It’s highly recommended that you utilize both the Dual Foam Insole (DFI) and the orthotic at the same time. Many shoes come with a removable insole that often has arch support as part of it. The SelnerTX™ requires a flat, smooth surface to work properly, which is why we recommend you replace your insole with the DFI to ensure proper use of the SelnerTX™.

While we recommend that you insert the DFI and place the orthotic over it, you can also put the orthotic in first, followed by the DFI. Each shoe is made differently, so you may need to experiment to find the right fit!

It’s important to wear the orthotics on both feet at the same time. Wearing on only one can actually contribute to a malalignment syndrome. Most people are built asymmetrically, which is where 19 available settings on each orthotic can really come in handy. You can make it fit for each foot to move as close to OCA as possible. You can align each foot differently, but you need to have both in for proper alignment and proper balance.

The orthotic itself takes up room in your shoe, and is unlikely to fit in high heels. For smaller volume shoes, you do have the option to take off the wheel, but we never recommend trying to squeeze your foot into a shoe that feels too tight. If you’re in a shoe that feels too tight without the orthotic, we don’t recommend using it. It’s best suited for shoes with heels less than an inch. Ideally it’s meant to be used in laced shoes (since those provide flexibility).

Sizing can be affected by the length of your toes. The orthotic is only meant to reach to the ball of your foot. We recommend fitting the orthotic on the smaller size (ie. if you’re a 9.5, go to 9). When in doubt, go a bit shorter, since this will prevent the orthotic from going beyond the ball of your foot.

Currently the SelnerTX™ is only available online, but we’re actively seeking retail partners to help us bring this exciting product to even more consumers!

If you have different sized feet, it’s likely that you also have legs that are different sizes (known as limb length discrepancy). On the shorter leg, your arch will raise up to make your leg longer, and on the longer side the arch will collapse since your body is trying to compensate for its natural malalignment.

You may need to fit the size to the longer rather than shorter foot, but the DFI can help balance the volume of the two. Because it is truly adjustable, the SelnerTX™ can help you with different arches in ways that other non-adjustable tools cannot.

The number under the TXWheel represents a men’s shoe size. In the US shoe sizing standards, there is an approximate 1 to 1.5 difference between men’s and women’s shoe sizing. For example, a women’s size 8 is roughly equivalent to a men’s size 7. Therefore if you purchased a women’s SelnerTX™, you should add 1 to the number under the TXWheel and that should match your shoe size.
