What Happens in an Assessment?
The purpose of a Pedorthic consultation and assessment is to discover the causes of your foot complaints and treat them effectively.
Stewart will visually assess your gait and discuss with you your history and present foot issues and investigate your wear patterns and choice of footwear.
He takes an impression of your feet using the Pedograph method to show the imbalances of the feet and ankles in the natural upright weight bearing position.
The result indicate the corrections needed in the making of your orthotic device or Pedorthic shoe modification to improve your alignment, help strengthen your foot and ankle, and maintain you mobility and body posture long term.
The assessment and consultation takes 45 to 60 minutes and you will be reminded of your appointment time and what to bring with you.
