Custom Orthotics and Biomechanics at Dosher PT

Personalized Solutions for Pain Relief, Alignment, and Performance

Your feet are your foundation, and when they are out of alignment, the rest of your body often pays the price. At Dosher Physical Therapy, we provide custom orthotics and biomechanical evaluations to identify and correct imbalances that contribute to pain, instability, and movement dysfunction. Whether you’re recovering from injury or just want to move better, our goal is to help you feel more supported from the ground up.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are shoe inserts designed to match your foot’s unique structure and movement pattern. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, they’re made specifically for you, based on a thorough assessment by a licensed physical therapist.

Orthotics can provide:

  • Arch support
  • Shock absorption
  • Improved foot and ankle alignment
  • Better load distribution across the lower body
  • Relief from chronic foot, knee, hip, or back pain

They’re often recommended for people dealing with foot deformities, high or flat arches, plantar fasciitis, or repetitive stress injuries.

What Is a Biomechanical Evaluation?

Biomechanics refers to the study of how the human body moves. A biomechanical evaluation is an in-depth analysis of your posture, gait (walking pattern), and how forces move through your body. At Dosher PT, this assessment helps us pinpoint the root cause of pain or dysfunction, often starting with your feet and working up through your knees, hips, and spine.

Our evaluation includes:

Gait and walking analysis

Foot and ankle alignment testing

Range of motion and muscle strength assessment

Postural screening

Load distribution and pressure mapping (when applicable)

This information allows us to design a treatment plan or recommend orthotics tailored to your needs.
