Boy, do they have thick skin!
Did you know that our skin is thickest on our feet? If you really think about it, it's not really hard to understand. We've talked about callusing before. It's the building up of skin on high wear areas. Your feet are the HIGHEST wearing (contact) areas! So that build up of skin on your feet is there in order for you to feel comfortable!
If you have significant callusing causing pain and discomfort, then we need to see you and create a treatment program to decrease the (bad) callusing, and save the (good) callusing! Whether it's a simple soft heel cup, custom foot orthotics, or immobilizing altogether, we have the means!

What's It Wednesday answer!!
This is a vacuum system that we use for all the mess we create!! Grinding down foot orthotics, hinges, carbon fiber, and other materials creates a lot of mess!! It sure helps us out!
To quote the great Wayne Campbell, "Well it certainly does suck!"
Tune in next week for another addition of What's It Wednesday!

You are invaluable!
Happy Administrative Professional day!! Our Office Manager, Audrey really is the best! I honestly feel sorry for literally every other business because they don't have Audrey! (I'm sure your office manager is awesome too).
Whoever manages your office, answers your phones, directs customers, and is your overall "gatekeeper", we're so grateful for all you do and hope you have a great day being recognized for all the work you do!
(Again, I'm sorry you don't have Audrey!)

Bouncy heels?
Over the years of activity and life, our natural heel cushioning (fat pads) start to wear down, atrophy, or displace. Additionally, heel trauma can cause a significant amount of discomfort while active. The heel can be very sensitive during the heel strike of gait.
The Tuli Heel Cup is a great option for just a little extra cushioning. We've talked before about the amount of force your foot takes when you are active. We've also talked about Ground Reaction Force where the force that you bear down on is returned upwards. These heel cups will return that energy.
While these heel cups aren't for everyone, we strongly suggest booking a foot assessment with one of our certified pedorthists to see if this is right for you!

Outlawed foot binding! (Kind of long post, but interesting and historical)
Did you know that for centuries the Chinese practiced the "art" of foot binding. I used the " " because looking back, this looks like absolute torture! A small foot was seen as a status symbol, a s*x symbol, a desired fe**sh, and even a way to a good marriage!
The process usually started when the young girl was as early as 4 years old! A professional foot binder would do the wrapping because it was thought that the parents felt too much empathy and wouldn't bind them tight enough. Bones were regularly broken in order to fit into a smaller shoe/slipper.
According to the research done by Peter Preskar, at historyofyesterday.com, the 3 inch foot is the "golden lotus", 4 inch foot is "silver lotus", and anything longer than that was "found s*xually unattractive" and was called the "iron foot".
This practice was banned only in 1912. It's horrifying the pictures and stories of this torturous practice! We want your feet to grow to whatever shape it does!
Tune in next week for a better foot fact!

What's It Wednesday answer!
These are stops that we put in functional knee braces to limit flexion and extension. Why would one need to be limited? After an injury the knee doesn't bend that much because of inflammation. Forcing the knee past where it wants to go can cause further damage. In those cases, we'll install a stop in the hinge to limit the range. Furthermore, after surgery, we need to ease the patient back into those different ranges to protect the reconstruction.
As you can see there are different sizes and shapes for all the different manufacturers of knee braces. The ranges will be suggested by your physician, physio, or surgeon.

SUPER sensitive feet!
Did you know that the feet have more nerves per square centimeter than any other place on the the body? There are approximately 8000 nerves in your foot! Lots of nerves means sensitive and ticklish feet. If you can remember back in a previous post, I said that ticklish feet is a good thing. That means your nerves are working!
It's really important to keep your feet comfortable and free from pain, so if there is something off, let us know! If you are diabetic and experience foot issues, it's even more important to take care of that foot!
Call us for a free foot assessment and we can show you options for your foot health!

What's It Wednesday answer!
These are carbon fiber plates that we use to manufacture foot orthotics! Here we see Wayne, our manufacturing technician, vacuum forming a carbon fiber plate which has been heated up so it forms to the foot mold.
Carbon fiber foot plates are also used for people who have pain in joints of their feet due to osteoarthritis. The rigid plate means that the joints don't move as much thus decreasing pain!
