Our Philosophy

You wouldn’t tolerate a rocking coffee table in a restaurant for more than 5 minutes without placing a folded napkin under the offending table leg. Imagine sitting at this table every day, you’d think to yourself, ‘why don’t they just fix the foot’?

Like the coffee table, our bodies have an ideal position or posture. Posture is fluid, it’s shaped by your environment and changes with time. Often pain accompanies these changes and acts as a cue to alert the brain that there are imbalances in the body. Similar to the tabletop, your musculoskeletal system rests on your feet and by correcting the position of the feet your body is able to develop good posture. This minimizes pain and structural deformities that can occur over time.

JCP Podiatrists work with you to implement long-term improvements to your musculoskeletal system. We don’t just look at how you stand, we look at how you move through everyday life and customize treatments to best support you. JCP Podiatrists make sure the rest of your life develops on good foundations.

Our Approach

 

 

 

Our theory is grounded in biomechanics, we look at applied forces on the body (i.e. ground reaction force, gravity etc) and analyze how this affects your posture and movement. Our goal is to develop optimal functioning of your musculoskeletal system by addressing the root of the problem, your feet.

JCP Podiatrists work from the ground up, analyzing how the position of your feet affects the bones that rest on top of them. After this thorough assessment, we design custom-made orthotics that are manufactured in-house at the JCP Podiatry lab, backed by over four decades worth of research and development.  All orthotic treatments are complemented with postural exercises to develop muscle tone that supports good posture.
