Movement, explained.

Custom orthotics vs over-the-counter insoles: what the evidence says, who really benefits, and why how they're fitted matters more than the price.

Why plantar fasciitis happens, why morning heel pain is worst, and what the evidence says about orthotics — including why the fitting method matters.

What overpronation actually is, why the wet test and shoe wear mislead, symptoms from feet to hips, and what genuinely helps — honestly ranked options.

Approximately 70% of physical therapy patients never finish their plan of care. Why they quit — and how objective progress data changes adherence.

Foam boxes and 3D scans capture foot shape — not behavior. What a dynamic foot assessment reveals that static tools miss, and when static is enough.

What a running gait analysis actually measures, what the findings mean, and when it's worth doing — for injuries, plateaus, and marathon prep.

Nine months post-ACL surgery doesn't mean ready. What objective return-to-sport testing measures, why it matters, and what to ask before you're cleared.

Some gait changes in elderly adults are normal aging — others signal fall risk. Learn which changes matter and what an objective gait assessment adds.

Why diabetes puts feet at risk, what a good annual diabetic foot exam covers, and why checking your gait — not just your skin — makes it complete.

Most flat feet never cause a problem. Learn when flat feet actually matter — pain, one-sided change, progression — and what genuinely helps, ranked.

Seen a heel spur on your X-ray? The spur is usually the bystander, not the pain source. What actually causes heel pain — and what treatment should target.

Only surgery corrects a bunion's shape — but pain and progression depend on mechanics. What works without surgery, and when the OR is the right call.

Runner's knee is a load problem more than a knee problem. Why rest alone brings it back, and what to change — cadence, strength, stride — ranked honestly.

Achilles tendonitis that comes back every time you return to running isn't bad luck — it's a loading pattern. Why rest alone fails and what helps.

Pronation-based shoe prescriptions are shakier than the shoe wall suggests. What research supports, why comfort counts, and where gait analysis fits.

What walking after knee replacement really looks like, week by week — typical phases, the comfort-vs-mechanics trap, and how to track real progress.

How Parkinson's changes walking — smaller steps, freezing, ON/OFF swings — and what helps, from exercise and cueing to objective gait tracking.

Flat feet, in-toeing or toe walking? Most childhood gait quirks resolve with growth. What's normal, when to check, and what a modern assessment involves.

What gait analysis really costs — free store checks, clinical assessments, lab studies — what you should get for your money, and how to find one near you.

Optical labs, instrumented walkways, treadmill systems, wearable insoles — an honest comparison of gait analysis options for practices, plus workflow integration and what to evaluate before buying.

Berg Balance Scale explained: the 14 items, 0–4 scoring, interpretation bands, how long it takes — and the limitations every clinician should keep in mind.

What CPT 97750 covers, the documentation payers expect, timed-code mechanics, 2026 Medicare payment context, related codes, and the pitfalls that trigger reviews.

Most diabetic foot ulcers begin with unfelt pressure, not injury. The prevention habits that work — daily checks, footwear, offloading — and why how you walk belongs in the plan.

Morton's neuroma: burning forefoot pain, the 'pebble in the shoe' feeling, causes and risk factors, conservative treatments, and when surgery is considered.

What Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is, how it differs from RPM, the CPT® code family in plain English, who can bill, and what a practice actually needs to run a program.

The Timed Up and Go test explained: protocol, equipment, normal times, the 13.5-second fall-risk threshold — and what the single number can't tell you.

Antalgic, Trendelenburg, ataxic, steppage, shuffling, circumduction, waddling: what each gait abnormality looks like, common causes, and when to seek help.
