Adjustable Heel Elevation for Better Balance, Comfort & Movement
The PowerStep Adjustable Heel Lift is a simple yet highly effective solution designed to provide customized heel elevation for individuals experiencing leg length discrepancies, heel pain, Achilles tendon irritation, or postural imbalances. Featuring a unique peel-away layered design, the lift can be adjusted to provide approximately 1/8″, 1/4″, or 3/8″ of additional heel height, allowing users to tailor the correction to their individual needs. The tapered edges improve comfort while the cushioned construction helps absorb impact during walking and standing. Whether recommended by your chiropractor, podiatrist, physiotherapist, or healthcare practitioner, the PowerStep Adjustable Heel Lift offers a practical way to improve lower limb alignment and reduce unnecessary stress on the feet, knees, hips, and lower back.

Why Leg Length Differences Matter
Even small differences in leg length can alter the way forces travel through the body. Over time this may contribute to:
- Pelvic tilt
- Uneven loading of the spine
- Hip discomfort
- SI joint irritation
- Compensatory muscle tension
- Altered walking patterns
A properly prescribed heel lift can help restore symmetry and reduce unnecessary mechanical stress throughout the kinetic chain. Important: Significant leg length discrepancies should always be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional before using corrective devices.

Can it help Achilles tendon pain?

Can I wear it with orthotics?
