Pedorthics concentrates on the study and evaluation of human locomotion, focusing primarily on the foot and lower limb anatomy; pathology, and biomechanics. Educated and trained in the management of conditions of the foot, ankle and lower extremities, a pedorthist is an orthotic and orthopaedic footwear expert specializing in posture, movement patterns and gait analysis. A pedorthist will focus on the biomechanics of the lower extremity to alleviate pain, abnormalities and debilitating conditions of the lower limbs and feet.
Johanna is excited to offer the active Sea-to-Sky community Pedorthic services. These services include gait analysis; footwear fitting and custom foot orthotics ( as well as refurbishing and adjusting in house) She can also recommend appropriate shoe construction and modifications as needed.
