Custom Orthotics Fitting
Did you know that gait and posture have a lot to do with staying strong, staying healthy and preventing wear and tear injuries that build up over long periods after repetitive activity? If you need to realign your gait and posture, wearing the right orthotic insoles in your shoes is an important step.
As a preventative aid, Custom Orthotic Insoles are perhaps the easiest and most effective way of correcting your foot mechanics so that you are not aggravating tissue and joints. If your ankles over-pronate (the foot rolls inwards), your foot requires additional support to limit your foot motion. If you are supinated (the foot rolls outward), your foot requires additional shock absorption. In both cases, Custom Orthotic Insoles is an easy and effective solution.
Michele Honeycutt, PT, OCS is the clinic’s custom orthotics’ expert. She will do a full lower extremity evaluation, take measurements and cast your feet. All of this, will be sent to the orthotics lab to have your custom orthotics fabricated to best meet your personal needs.
