I’ve heard that pedorthists put everyone in orthotics…is this true?
No. This is why we take a thorough intake of the athlete’s training and injury history. Sometimes, we discover that the injury has arisen from training error or is due to an unrelated medical condition. In such cases, we speak with the personal trainer or physician and with some rest or treatment, the athlete is ready to continue the activity without orthoses. If the injury has not arisen from the biomechanics of the foot or body, we believe the patient should continue activity, once restored, without orthoses.
