We know orthotic check ups are easy to overlook if everything feels ok…….BUT sometimes this can be deceiving.
Just like the dentist, if you don’t have your regular check up, you run the risk of unnecessary trouble creeping up on you.
So what does this mean?
- The clever things we hide inside your shoes stop your feet and legs drifting out of alignment. If your feet drift out of alignment, the knees, legs, hips and spine follow. If your orthotic check is overdue, the drifting is already happening. Don’t try telling yourself it’s not.
- The further away you drift, the more joint stress, wear and tear and compensation occurs, plus the unnecessary energy you’re having to waste managing it. That’s not good news now and even worse news later on.
- Arthritis and compensatory muscle soreness during and after exercise can also begin to occur. GOOD alignment and function helps improve you efficiency, balance, speed, endurance and coordination.
We want to encourage you to look after your orthotics AND If you do, you can look forward to all the good things that come with it; performance, longevity and the health of your feet, legs, knees, hips and spine. Set aside 20 minutes once a year and we will take care of the rest for you.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN ORTHOTIC CHECK?
During your 20 minute orthotic check up appointment we will run through all your measurements, make any adjustments to keep you in alignment and do any maintenance & cleaning needed to keep your orthotic devices in the best alignment.
These 20 minute orthotic check ups are only $78 and is HICAPS (Private Health Insurance) rebatable on the spot.
Ensuring the accuracy of your orthotic devices helps to keep you free of foot pain/ deformity. It also allows your orthotic devices to continue having their positive impact on the alignment and health of your legs, kness, hips, low back and posture. Good alignment translates into efficiency of energy and load transfers and improved performance.
