How We Treat


The feet are one of the most overlooked parts of the body.  If our feet (the foundation for the rest of our body) are not functioning well then we can ultimately end up with knee, hip and back pain.

A foot has three arches (medial, lateral and transverse) and they work together to support the functioning of all the bones in the feet. These are essential for balancing the weight of the body and maintaining propulsion while walking and running. Moreover, the stability of the leg, thigh bones, pelvis, and spine are all dependent on the arches of the feet. When they are well balanced, biomechanical forces going through our joints are balanced and the stress is reduced through the kinematic chain that goes from the feet all the way to the head. But if the functioning of the arches is off, then the feet can become painful and tired along with other parts of the form such as knees or hips.

Many people may have arches that are either dropped or too high and rigid. As part of our assessment and treatment, we thoroughly assess the feet of the patient to figure out the dysfunctions that might be happening in the muscles and bones of their feet. We analyse the gait and movement and do a special foam casting of the feet so that we can customize the foot orthotics as per the clinical needs of each patient. The cast and our recommendations are then sent to a lab where the orthotics are made.

Custom orthotics come in a variety of footwear styles and can be customized to the needs of the individual. For example, casual orthotics are used in most “orthotic-friendly” everyday shoes or dress orthotics are used in dressier work shoes. Sports orthotics are used in running shoes. There are even sport-specific orthotics for those who run or play soccer and golf.
