My background as a podiatrist has meant that I have given a LOT of people orthotics. But what frustrates me is that people will spend so much money on getting custom orthotics… when they probably don’t even need them.


So how do you know if they’re the right choice for you? That’s exactly what I’ll be breaking down in this episode.


You’ll learn:

  • The difference between custom vs off the shelf orthotics + if its worth investing!
  • How orthotics actually work to relieve leg pain and improve your alignment
  • Tips for choosing the right orthotic
  • When it’s time to see a specialist… and when you don’t have to
  • How to tell if your orthotics are a bad fit

… and SO much more.
