Who Needs Custom Feet
Orthotics?
Did
you know that the
alignment of your feet (the way your feet walk) affects all the joints
above them? So, if you have reoccurring knee, hip, groin, pelvis, low
back, or SI joint pain, your feet may be out of alignment, causing or
aggravating those problems. Or, you may just have plain ol' foot pain.
Who Should Make Your
Orthotics?
Who
better than a Physical
Therapist that is already trained to correct musculo-skeletal
dysfunctions?
Brenda Shelton has been a
Physical Therapist for 30 years specializing in Manual Therapy and
exercise. She uses a hands-on holistic approach to correct pain and
dysfunction for musculo-skeletal, orthopedic, and sports related
injuries.
Brenda
is now combining her
skills for correcting your body alignment and alleviating pain to also
provide you with a personally made orthotic to help keep you in
alignment. She makes them by hand herself – they are not sent
out. They can usually be ready in 7-10 days. The price includes a
complete mechanical and functional evaluation, molding, constructing,
and any fine tuning or revisions needed to make them fit perfectly. You
will also be provided with home stretches or exercises when they are
needed.
Orthotics are important to
allow normal foot function to occur. Due to years of sports activities
and/or the aging process, the arches begin to flatten, toes curl, bones
spread and pain occurs. Orthotics will keep your feet in a neutral
position to decrease or eliminate abnormal or compensatory motions, and
unnecessary stresses in the joints above.
