A pedorthist is an individual who is trained in the manufacturing, fitting and modification of foot appliance and footwear for the purposes of alleviating painful or debilitation conditions, and providing assistance for abnormalities or limited actions of the lower limb.

The pedorthist provides devices and footwear to assist in:
  • accommodation of foot deformities
  • re-alignment of anatomical structures
  • redistribution of external and internal forces
  • improvement of balance
  • control of biomechanical function
  • accommodation of circulatory special requirements
  • enhancement of the actions of limbs compromised as a result of accident, congenital deformity, neural condition, or disease

  Orthotics: Health and Comfort

As the foundation of our bodies, our feet do a miraculous job.

Our feet are propulsion packs and shock absorbers. They allow us to run, walk, jump and dance. One quarter of all the bones in your body are in your feet.

One of the most complicated parts of the human anatomy, the feet contain 216 ligaments and 32 muscles. They are an engineering wonder.

Our feet go from a soft shock absorber to a rigid lever you can walk up and walk off of.

Feet come in all shapes and sizes… there is no perfect foot shape.

The feet are too often taken for granted until they hurt or don’t function as they used to.

Come in for an assessment and learn about your feet. Take care of your foundation and your foundation will take care of you!
