Advanced Posting Functional Orthotics
These orthotics have impressions taken non-weight bearing, capturing our long arches at their highest. We measure the calcaneus (heel bones) for degrees of valgus (leaning in) or varus (leaning out). We then bi-sect the cast, bringing the calcaneus in alignment with the leg bones. These orthoses require flexibility of the calcaneus to bring in alignment. Proper alignment benefits not only foot function but also improves joint alignment up the kinetic chain to benefit knees, hips, and backs.
