Orthotic insoles; Help or Scam?
I've recently seen a few PT(Physical Therapist) guys about trying to regain a normal gait(walking). (post surgery . .. a long story)
The first PT guy sez; I need to work on leg muscles.
The second PT guy (who specializes in "fitting Orthotic insoles) sez "oh, it sooooo obvious that your feet need orthotics. . . .it's your feet feet feet . .."
At $500 to profesionally shim my feet (pay in advance- no refunds), my BS meter is about pegged.
What sez the Pelicans out there?
