๐Ÿ‘ฃ Pedorthics is the practice of assessing, modifying, designing and fitting of both custom foot orthotics and footwear to assist in a variety of lower extremity conditions and discomfort or pain.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ Canadian Certified Pedorthists can perform an assessment to look at the whole โ€˜mechanical footโ€™ and provide the correct treatment.

Runners can get foot pain from several places. Poorly fitted shoes are one of the first places to look. Over-training is another common culprit. If you have considered causes like these but still have significant foot pain, then think about getting custom orthotics. โฃ

๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿป Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis Treatmentโ 
โ 
Heel pain is one of the most common problems seen by Canadian Certified Pedorthists. Causes include:โ 
โ 
- Poor foot mechanicsโ 
- Improper footwearโ 
- Unfavourable ground conditionsโ 
โ 
Here are 3 pointers Canadian Certified Pedorthists recommend to help prevent and alleviate heel pain:โ 
โ 
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Carefully and slowly increasing activity to allow the tissues of the lower limbs time to properly adaptโ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Wearing stable shoes with sturdy heel counters (the back of the shoe) to control motion and provide shock absorptionโ 
โ 
๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Avoid going barefoot or just wearing socks while injured as poor foot mechanics can aggravate the injury further if not controlledโ

Did you know I can modify your shoe?

Canadian Certified Pedorthists are one of the only foot experts trained in the modification of footwear.

Sometimes conditions can be managed with foot orthotics, or footwear alone and modified shoes can make a dramatic difference in a patientโ€™s life.

Check out my IG stories for 3 different modifications that can be done to your footwear.

A shoe acts as a foundation for the foot and provides a stable base for the foot orthotic. โ 
โ

The footwear itself is an important treatment method. A foot orthotic may be less effective if it is placed in inferior footwear as the shoe may work against the features of the orthotic. โ 
โ 
That is why the foot orthotic is only as good as the shoe it goes into!โ

How long will a Foot Orthotic last?โ 
โ 
โ 
โ 
This varies from patient to patient! Each individual's orthotics are made of materials that are customized to the patientโ€™s foot structure, levels of activity, age and physical condition.โ 
โ 
The lifespan of a foot orthotic should not be measured by when the cover material wears out but by how long the orthotic meets the footโ€™s changing needs for โ 
โ 
โ˜‘๏ธ Supportโ 
โ˜‘๏ธ Correction โ 
โ˜‘๏ธ Pressure redistribution. โ 
โ 
If your symptoms begin to return it is a good idea to have your orthotic reassessed to determine if modifications or a new device are necessary.โ

๐Ÿ‘Ÿ On average, a running shoe last 700km before it stops providing you with the support you need. โ 
โ 
โ 
๐Ÿ‘‰ For active people who run 3-4 times a week, they need to change their shoes after a year. โ 
โ 
Even if you are not that active, the plastic material that running shoes are made of will harden in your closet, which means your shoes will not provide you with the protection that you need - โ
