Michael

So we now no that my daughter is flat footed and genu valgum. She has better than average speed and is very coordinated so these conditions have not slowed her down any. We have only tried off the shelf inserts so far. The flat foot was first ID by the owner of the soccer supply store who fitted her last pair of cleats. He is not a doctor but has seen his share of feet I guess. I might look into custom orthotics hopefully my plan will cover some or all. I would say her gait prior to and after the recon is fine as veiwed by the PT and I while she ran on tread mill. Buy the way we are just east of Oshawa.
