CUSTOM ORTHOTICS FAQ


How come different places charge different prices for orthotics?

Every clinic determines their own pricing for their product depending on its' value. You should always check that your provider is a Certified Pedorthist and look at reviews and recommendations from others when determining a clinic to visit. Adjustments and paperwork should be included in your price and not be an extra cost.

COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT FAQ


What's the primary difference from the regular assessment?

The Comprehensive Performance Analysis is for those that have a high degree of interest of the influential factors that can help best results and performance.  In this assessment we use more of our Health Coach skills to add more information about things like nutrition, stress vs rest, recovery etc.  Consisting of a preliminary 90 minute evaluation and a 30 minute follow-up, this service allows us the time to evaluate many inter-connected factors that can help optimize our patients health and performance goals.
