How Biopods Resonance Insoles Work
Multi-Stimulus Zones
Biopods Resonance provides dynamic, full-foot sensory engagement through the arch, heel, and forefoot.
As the foot loads and unloads during activity, the stimulus changes, giving the nervous system the sensory information required to coordinate safe, healthy movement.
Working like an exercise program, this changing tactile stimulus naturally trains the feet and lower limbs for optimal function, strength, and stability—not dependence on passive support.
The insoles pair this tactile foundation with a magnetic-and-quartz matrix. A central N52 neodymium magnetic sphere is surrounded by six rose-quartz spheres, creating an oscillating magnetic and resonant sensory element during movement.
The quartz elements can be tuned to hold a selected frequency as a stable, coherent pattern, creating a distinctive and customizable resonant sensory experience. Please see the Tunning instructions below.
Adjustable Arch Stimulus
The Resonance arch dome delivers focused tactile stimulus beneath the arch. It is a sensory stimulus—not a conventional support intended to hold the arch in a fixed position.
Resonance provides two arch-stimulus options. Begin using the insoles without the Adjustment Discs. After one or two weeks, add the Discs if you prefer a broader, fuller arch sensation.
Adding an Adjustment Disc to the underside of each arch dome spreads the tactile stimulus over a wider surface area. Peel off the protective film and attach the Discs as demonstrated in the video.
Magnetic and Quartz Crystal Matrix
Each insole pairs this tactile foundation with a magnetic and quartz-crystal matrix. A free-moving N52-grade neodymium magnet sphere sits within a central chamber surrounded by six rose-quartz spheres.
As the insole moves during gait, the magnet rolls within its chamber, continually changing the orientation of its magnetic poles relative to the surrounding matrix and creating an ever-changing magnetic-field orientation.
Using the Biopods Resonance Generator, the quartz matrix is exposed to a selected audio frequency, allowing you to personalize the tuning experience. Please see the Insole Tuning Guidelines below.
Frequency Tuning Your Insoles
Insole Tuning Guidelines
Frequency tuning is an optional way to personalize your Biopods Resonance experience. Using the Biopods Resonance Generator, you can expose the six rose-quartz spheres in each insole to a selected audio frequency.
Speaker placement, volume, and recommended tuning time vary depending on whether you use a phone, computer, or external speakers. Our Insole Tuning Guidelines provide step-by-step instructions for each setup, including important device-safety information.
Best Use Practices
Choosing the Right Footwear is Important
For the most natural movement experience, use flexible, unrestrictive footwear that allows the toes to move and the arches to rise easily.
Use Resonance Consistently
Use your Resonance insoles for as long as possible each day and in every compatible pair of shoes.
Avoid repeatedly switching between Resonance insoles and conventional support or cushioning products. Doing so changes the sensory and muscular demands placed on the feet and can significantly impair the consistent foot-strengthening dynamic.
Positioning Resonance Insoles in Your Shoes
Resonance insoles must sit securely on a flat supporting surface.
Resonance is available only in a full-length model and is designed for shoes WITH removable insoles.
Remove the factory insoles before installing Resonance.
Do not place them over a factory insole or shoe midsole with built-in arch support, because the underlying contour can interfere with their position and intended sensory action.
Trimming to Fit Your Shoes
Full-Length
Remove the factory insoles from your shoes.
Stand on the Resonance insoles with your heels positioned squarely in the heel pockets. Confirm that the arch stimulus is comfortably centred beneath each arch.
Place the corresponding factory insole (A) on top of each Resonance insole (B), aligning the heels and centring the forefoot.
Trace around the factory insole from the ball of the foot forward.
Cut just inside the traced line using sharp scissors.
Place the Resonance insoles in your shoes and confirm that they rest flat.
Trim only a small amount at a time—no more than approximately 1/8 inch or 3 mm during each fitting.
Never trim the heel, arch dome, or sensory components.
What to Expect
Initially, you will notice the tactile engagement beneath your arches, heels, and forefeet.
The magnetic and tuned-crystal resonance effects will be more subtle—perhaps experienced as a feeling of “rightness” or harmony. The experience will be unique to each person and to the selected tuning frequency.
The tactile experience should become integrated with movement rather than remaining distracting. If you prefer a broader, fuller arch sensation after the initial adjustment period, add the enclosed Adjustment Discs.
Use your Resonance insoles for as long as comfortably possible. If discomfort develops, remove them and resume with shorter periods, gradually increasing your wearing time as comfort permits.
Soft Tissue Adjustment Phase
During initial use, your body will experience a four-to-six-week period of soft tissue adjustment.
As muscle function improves, mobility at the joints increases and the bones realign to more efficiently manage increased loads. You may experience transient “new” aches or pain in muscles and joints that shift from location to location, which is normal.
Persistent discomfort in one location can be associated with footwear incompatibility or a pre-existing issue such as an earlier injury, restricted joint mobility, or scar/fibrotic tissue.
If discomfort remains in the same area for more than two weeks—or becomes sharp, persistent, or progressively worse—stop using the insoles and consult an appropriate healthcare professional. The location and nature of the discomfort can provide useful information for evaluating footwear compatibility and any pre-existing restriction that may require attention.
Effective soft-tissue mobilization treatments include, but are not limited to, Active Release Technique, therapeutic ultrasound, and therapeutic massage.
Generally, Biopods Resonance Insoles should not be uncomfortable. However, some footwear and some foot types may not be compatible with Resonance insoles:
Pain may be caused by footwear incompatibility. Visit our Biopods Shoe Guide to get more detailed information about selecting the healthiest footwear and footwear features that can cause pain.
Pain may be caused by foot type incompatibility. Some foot types may require soft-tissue mobilization before beginning insole use to address pre-existing scar or fibrotic tissue. A small percentage of people may not find Resonance insoles suitable for them due to certain pre-existing conditions, such as fused joints in the feet.
Easy Care Instructions
Simply hand wash the insoles using warm water and mild detergent.
IMPORTANT: Biopods Resonance insoles ARE NOT machine washable.
Air-Dry Only
Do not put in a dryer or dry over a heat source.
