Running / Walking Gait Evaluation Shoe & Foot Orthotic Recommendations
|
In many instances, the addition of a foot orthotic to your current athletic or daily footwear is necessary for injury prevention or management. Research has shown that orthotic therapy can be an effective “modality” for addressing biomechanical issues of the ankle and foot as they directly relate to injuries involving the foot, lower leg, knee, hip or back. The experienced staff at Agility Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, LLC has advanced training in biomechanical evaluation and orthosis recommendations for injury prevention and management. This treatment philosophy that initially started as part of a traditional physical therapy evaluation, has extended into several of the specialty services offered to active individuals seeking injury management or performance enhancement. Our goal is to work closely with the local footwear stores to achieve the perfect interface between foot and shoe. We are able to provide you with a comprehensive lower quarter screen assessing foot and ankle biomechanics, range of motion, strength and flexibility, and provide appropriate recommendations on the necessity for a footwear change or the addition of a custom or semi-custom foot orthotic. Furthermore, we are able to provide recommendations if a referral to a primary care physician or specialist is needed. For more information about scheduling an appointment or evaluation cost, please call Agility Physical Therapy & Sports Performance at 269.329.0934 during normal business hours or contact us via email.
