What is Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy?

In order to gain a deeper understanding of Professor Rothbart’s therapy, first we need to understand what is proprioception.

Proprioception is the brain’s awareness and maintenance of the body’s position (which we refer to as posture) relative to the ground.  This awareness is dependent upon information (signals) that the brain receives from many places in the body, the feet being a primary source.

Professor Rothbart discovered two distinct and previously unknown inherited foot structures.  Over 80% of the world population have one of these foot structures.  They are at a higher risk for developing chronic pain.

People who have one of these foot structures have feet that twist when they walk.  He found that when the feet twist, distorted information is sent from the feet to the brain.  The brain then makes distorted changes in the posture (position) of the body.  This creates bad posture, which leads to increased stress and strain on the joints and muscles.

Over time, joint inflammation and muscle pain develop.  If left untreated or improperly treated, the pain continues to worsen.  This can lead to disability, both physical and emotional.

Based on his 40 years of research and clinical experience, Professor Rothbart invented an approach that corrects the distorted information generated from the feet.  It is called Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy.  The brain, receiving this correct information, corrects the bad posture.  The joints then properly align.  The strain on the body is considerably reduced.  What the patient experiences is dramatic and instantaneous relief.

Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy involves three steps.

(1) A Series of Comprehensive Tests

Professor Rothbart runs a series of clinical proprietary tests to determine your type of inherited foot structure.  He then runs computer analyses, which he invented (and is the only person using), to analyze your posture and how your feet move.  These tests and analyses are tailored to the uniqueness of each person and are run on both 'in person' and 'long distance' patients.

The clinical tests determine the type of insole that you need.  The computer analyses determine the strength of signal that you require.

(2) Custom Designed Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles

Based on the results of the above proprietary tests, Professor Rothbart builds your custom designed insoles.  These revolutionary insoles were invented and developed by him, based on his research and findings on proprioception.  Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles are built specifically to eliminate your chronic pain.
 
Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy also takes place when walking on your special insoles.  With each step, corrected foot signals are sent to your brain.  Acting on these signals your brain corrects your posture, which eliminates the stress on your joints and muscles.  They then begin to heal.

(3) Comprehensive Reevaluation and Progress Monitoring

Your body will be going through changes.  And as it does, your progress is monitored.  Computer analyses are run periodically to determine if the strength of the signal needs to be adjusted within your insoles.  If so, a new set of Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles will be made. At all times, Professor Rothbart maintains a close connection with each of his patients to help them through their healing process.

It is important to note that there are some distributors selling the insoles that Professor Rothbart has invented, directly to the public.  The consequences of using these insoles which have not been custom designed for the patient can range from disappointing to devastating.  For this reason, Professor Rothbart strongly advises people not to buy his insoles directly from a distributor.  To learn about the consequences of using an insole not designed for you, go to the Important Message page.


Professor Rothbart has revolutionized the way in which chronic pain is now treated and is considered the most qualified person in the world today in the area of chronic pain elimination.  Professor Rothbart has helped thousands of people all over the world who are now living their life in freedom from chronic pain.
