Art of Orthotics

Yesterday, I assessed 73-year-old Linda's feet and evaluated then addressed her leg length discrepancy. I cast her feet for custom orthotics also👣
Today (9/16/2025) I delivered two lifts for her Left side and modified insoles in her Finn Comfort shoes. Here's her response 👣

PS Just wait until she gets her custom made orthotics 👣 They change everything

He was prescribed an AZ Brace but it didn’t work. He had worn trilaminate soft orthotics for years. I made him a pair in 2022 and another pr in 2023 and he liked both of them better than any that he had before.
Jerry wanted another or in 2024 and I decided to make 1/2 UCBLs. STRONG orthotics with plastic shell and trilaminate top covers. His forefoot is terribly imbalanced and designed orthotics to balance. He liked them…a lot! Advised to get bigger & better footwear: TOPO Trail Blazer in size 14. Great shoes 👣 Obviously this guy is big @ 6’2” and a rancher/farmer caring for 500 cattle. He works!
After 11 months in stronger orthotics, FootCare Nurse had only one callus to work on…used to be 3 large ones. And it’s diminishing. Nail care needed, of course, but callus care is much less 👣
Happier feet mean a happier life 👣

The shoes we wear can influence our entire body—and the wrong pair can quietly set off a chain reaction of discomfort, triggering pain in your back, hips, knees, and more. 👟

“Every time we walk, our feet need to be able to change shape,” says physical therapist Otto Lam. The heel should strike first, the foot should roll forward, and the toes should spread before pushing off—but the wrong shoe can disrupt this sequence.

He got 2prs of orthotics from a provider who wouldn’t modify them & his feet 👣 were hurting 😖 He says they told him that he would have to wait until next year 😖
I modified with more longitudinal & metatarsal arch support & his feet feel much better.

In 1962, astronaut John Glenn refused to fly until one specific person checked the math from the new electronic computers. 🚀

That person was Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician at NASA known as a "human computer."

Before trusting the machine, Glenn famously said, "Get the girl to check the numbers... If she says they're good, I'm ready to go."

At a time when the country was still divided by segregation, Johnson and her colleagues in the West Area Computing unit provided the calculations that were absolutely essential for America's success in space.

She calculated the trajectory for Alan Shepard's first space flight in 1961, the launch window for the 1961 Mercury mission, and Glenn's orbital path.

Her work didn't stop there. Johnson's calculations were also critical for the Apollo Moon landing, helping to sync the lunar lander with the orbiting command module.

Her incredible mind and dedication were a fundamental part of some of our nation's greatest achievements in space exploration. 🇺🇸

In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her pioneering work that opened doors for so many and pushed America forward.
