As podiatrists, we all strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Typically, it has proved challenging to achieve consistent outcomes using traditional orthotic interventions, which is why industry-leading podiatrist Dan Everson has spent decades undertaking extensive clinical research and consultation with experienced podiatrists and universities.

While traditional orthotics are designed to block excessive pronation, Dan identified that this can also see them act as functional blockers. Determined to find a more consistent, evidence-based solution, Dan looked beyond traditional orthotic design, focusing on more than just contour and frontal plane alignment parameters.

His innovative Kinetic Orthotics works by optimising the efficiency of the gait cycle.

Using his patent-protected Kinnetic Method, podiatrists can undertake a series of key kinetic tests and observations, effectively analysing three key criteria – force, morphology and function. Individualised orthotics can then be produced for each patient, optimising the way in which muscular energy is transferred in the gait cycle.

This ultimately improves mobility and decreases any pathology related to biomechanical inefficiency. Most importantly, it reduces variability in patient outcomes.

Dan and the Kinetic Orthotics team are dedicated to helping more Australians move without pain, and partner with podiatrists across the country to harness this world-first technology.
