Frank has extensive experience procuring custom foot orthotics to help optimize his Postural Restoration programs when needed. The role of these specialized custom foot orthotics is to provide an improved support with sensory awareness of the ground through all phases of the gait cycle, as opposed to many custom foot orthotics which can be rigid and only correcting for one specific phase of the gait cycle, such as pronation. The specialized PRI orthotics are made from three distinct layers of materials which help preserve optimal balance between providing support where you need it, but also the ability to compress and sense the floor through specific areas of your foot when you need to.
Frank works closely with Dr. Paul Coffin, DPM, to ensure that each pair of orthotics provides the proper amount of support, guidance and sensory referencing of the floor to preserve a balanced tri-planar excursion of the foot throughout the gait cycle, which optimizes the biomechanics throughout each patient’s entire system. Before taking the impressions, Frank will ensure that your body is in an optimally aligned state so that the orthotics then return you to that state when you wear them.
Frank has extensive experience taking these impressions and has provided PRI custom orthotics to many professional athletes as well as consulted for NFL teams on the use of these orthotics.
