New York Times Orthotics Article

1/25/2011

0 Comments

 
The other week the New York Times had an article about orthotics, and if and how they "work".  As someone who is all about minimalist shoes and going barefoot, you could accurately guess that I'm anti-orthotics or any support for that matter.  (The only exception I would make is for people who have physical disabilites, like two different leg lengths, club foot, etc.)  The article talks about whether orthotics really work or not, and if so, why?  Orthotists usually have different opinions from one another on what type of insert would work on a certain patient, categorizing orthotics as an art form rather than a science.

While I am no doctor and am not licensed to provide a medical opinion, I say go barefoot, strengthen your feet, and work to improve your feet and legs.  Don't take the "easy way out" that may do mare harm than good down the line...
