foot analysis.
At Elite Feet we do a 10-point range of motion test on your feet to check flexibility and last type, so we can best fit you in your optimal shoe type. We watch you walk or run outside to accurately check your gate, we do not use a treadmill because it pulls you which in turn it obscures a true gate of a person. Since a treadmill “pulls” the ground for you, different muscles are used than just running on hard ground.
We do not use a standing or walking pressure mat because they only see the foots pressure in a 2-dimension form, and does not explain why the pressure is where it is for many people. We do, however, have the software and treadmill to do a treadmill gate analysis and a Harris Pressure Mat to get the pressure points of a foot in the walking stage if there are any customers that request this method.
We have a medically licensed Pedarothist on staff to make orthotics or do shoe modifications.
