👣 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.

👣 Canadian Certified Pedorthists can perform an assessment to look at the whole ‘mechanical foot’ 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. ⁣

🦶🏻 Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis Treatment⁠
⁠
Heel pain is one of the most common problems seen by Canadian Certified Pedorthists. Causes include:⁠
⁠
- Poor foot mechanics⁠
- Improper footwear⁠
- Unfavourable ground conditions⁠
⁠
Here are 3 pointers Canadian Certified Pedorthists recommend to help prevent and alleviate heel pain:⁠
⁠
🏃‍♀️ Carefully and slowly increasing activity to allow the tissues of the lower limbs time to properly adapt⁠
⁠
👟 Wearing stable shoes with sturdy heel counters (the back of the shoe) to control motion and provide shock absorption⁠
⁠
🙅‍♀️ Avoid going barefoot or just wearing socks while injured as poor foot mechanics can aggravate the injury further if not controlled⁠

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 patient’s life.

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

The importance of putting a Foot Orthotic in proper footwear?⁠
⁠
#𝟏 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🦶⁠
A shoe acts as a foundation for the foot and provides a stable base for the foot orthotic. ⁠
⁠
#𝟐 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭 👟⁠
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. ⁠
⁠
That is why the foot orthotic is only as good as the shoe it goes into!⁠
