Red hi-light in the
sketch above is the Plantar facia; it is tough fibrous tissue that supports your arch. Stretching and exercise is important in maintaining mobility.

Try simply raising your body up supporting your weight on your toes, go up and down about 30 times, twice a day.

Using plaster we are able to create a
remarkable impression of your feet.
It's clean, quick and best of all, painless!


When we cast your feet, you will sit in a chair and the
Board Certified Pedorthist
will press
your feet into the soft pink foam.

A two minute process referred to as semi-weight bearing.


You keep your foot casts high up in the closet, in a pizza box!
Your casts are fun to show your friends too!
"Hey man, you see my feet; those are my feet."



Our American made vacuum press is a snap to use.



Casts on vacuum table; under bladder.


Once the plastic (suborthelen) cools it's ready to work our magic!


After a long grind.

Socks are a good place
to start in maintaining
foot health. Pick a pair

is a lot but as they say, shoe pun here!
