01 / Redistribute
Shift weight away from painful areas.
The targeted position of the pods on the Apos® device changes the pressure beneath your feet as you walk, helping shift load away from painful or overloaded areas.

It starts with how you walk.
How it works
Apos® works by addressing two key contributing factors to joint pain: excessive loads on your joints and the way your muscles control movement.
See the 3 steps
02 / Re-educate
Retrain how you walk.
The convex pods create a controlled instability with every step, challenging your muscles to respond and retrain how you walk — supporting better muscle control and longer-term relief, even when you are not wearing the device.
A clear plan for moving forward.
