Have you ever considered that your back pain, hip pain, knee pain, or foot pain may actually be due to the way you're walking?

Whether you are incredibly active or mostly sedentary, you probably have some degree of postural dysfunction and gait abnormality that affects the evenness of your weight distribution.
I have partenered up with a company called Sols that uses 3D printing and computerized algorithms to make highly customizable orthotics that takes your physical activity levels into consideration. This system measures your foot not only in a static position but also in a dynamic, weight-bearing position which gives a much more accurate assessment of the way you walk. Compared to a plaster mold which only takes the shape of your foot into consideration, this system can accurately assess your gait, provide arch support, and correct unequal weight-distribution to create an orthotic that fits your lifestyle.
I highly recommend orthotics for anyone suffering from achilles tendinitis, pes planus (flat feet), back problems, heel pain, gait abnormality, knee pain, or for runners, athletes, and anyone interested in correcting their posture and gait.
