Custom Fit Orthotics, Custom Made Orthotics, Custom Arch Insoles. How are you supposed to know which ones will help your problem? And what is the difference anyway? Custom Fit Orthotics are pre-made. You stand on a mat and the computer maps the pressure areas on the bottom of your feet. The computer holds a library of pressure maps and rapidly matches your pressure map to one in its database. Then it gives you the device that corresponds to that map. Simple. Custom Arc...h Insoles allow you to attach a support in the arch area corresponding to a low, medium or high arch. Even simpler. Except The foot is not that simple. It is a remarkably complex structure that contains of the body’s bones and has even more complex mechanics. The arch is like the hole in a donut it’s just a space. But it indicates what is happening around it. Arch height when weight bearing is impacted by leg length (if one is longer than the other), shape of the legs, tightness of the calf muscles, and spatial relationship of the forefoot to the rear foot amongst other factors. These are things that are discovered in a proper physical examination by a trained professional. A computer can’t do that, and simply estimating if an arch is low, medium or high is not enough. The professional is able to determine, what kind, amount and location of correction is needed to address your problem and see that it is built into your Custom Made Orthotics. If you really have a foot problem, don’t waste your time or money on half measures. Custom made orthotics are the smart choice.

So, you put on your gloves and mask and off to the grocery store you go - safe from from COVID-19, right? Well, don't want you to have a false sense of security but... that little varmint is so small that it can only be seen under a microscope. So imagine instead, that it is red paint and you touched it with your glove, so you didn't get it on your hands but....What did you touch with your glove(s)? Everywhere you touch turns red. Your mask, your face, things you put in your... cart, your phone, your wallet, the money in it, your car door handle, steering wheel and on and on and on. Gloves without smart practices are no protection at all. There is no substitute for proper handwashing, not touching your face, maintaining appropriate physical space and liberal use of hand sanitizer when soap and water are unavailable (not as a substitute for soap!). Be smart, be safe, be well. See more
