Plantar Fascia Decompression
Dynamic heel-strike analysis isolates peak tensile stress points across the medial band. We combine custom arch offloading with rigid heel stabilizers to arrest morning heel pain and spur irritation.
Achilles Tendon Offloading
Subtalar joint stabilization reduces micro-tearing during the push-off phase of urban walking. Prescribed lift modifications re-distribute ground reaction forces away from inflamed tendon insertions.
Pediatric Gait Alignment
Early intervention addresses severe in-toeing, flexible flatfoot, and calcaneal valgus in developing joints. Custom molded semi-rigid orthoses preserve natural muscle development while preventing knee rotation.
The Four-Stage Evaluation
Dynamic Scan
3D Optical Casting
Laboratory Milling
Gait Verification
High-resolution pressure sensors map stance phase, heel contact, and propulsion loads across your entire walking cycle.
Non-weight-bearing laser profiling captures subtalar neutral position without messy plaster distortion.
Your prescription is precision-machined from multi-durometer EVA, carbon composites, or polypropylene polymers.
In-shoe pressure checks verify uniform distribution inside your daily commuter or athletic footwear before release.
