The Story of Foot Science
Foot Science International originated with an innovative doctor, looking for a more effective way to treat patients with common foot problems. Dr Charlie Baycroft, a sports medicine specialist in New Zealand, found that many of his patients were forced to choose between a rigid, costly yet fully customised orthotic crafted by a podiatrist and mass produced insoles that have no adjustment to the individual foot.
In an attempt to resolve his patient’s pain in a thorough yet pragmatic way, Dr Baycroft decided to create an orthotic that could mould to the shape of each patient’s foot. He knew that by creating the closest possible contact between a patient’s foot and an orthotic, the foot would be given the natural support it needs.
