JennOrtho - Healthy Feet Talk Show At Sunway Velocity Mall

I learned a lot of knowledge about health feet after I attended JennOrtho's Healthy Feet Talk Show at Sunway Velocity Mall on 16th January 2022. The speaker was Dato Dr. Edmund Lee, a renowned orthotics expert. He is the third generation to fulfill his grandfather and father's wish to establish orthotics and prosthetics rehabilitation centre to help people with physical impairment and musculoskeletal disabilities. JennOrtho opened another branch at Sunway Velocity Mall recently. 

In the Healthy Feet Talk show, I learnt that 4 out of 5 adults have foot problem. If you have knee pain, foot pain, heel pain or back pain, it is good to get your feet checked because feet problems can indirectly cause pains on other parts of your body. It is important to wear the correct shoe type and insoles for those with foot problems. There are also special exercises to solve foot problems too.

There are 5 common types of feet - Normal, Pronated, Flat, Severe Flat, Severe High and High Arch Feet. For people with feet problems, a 3D custom medical orthotics is recommended to give support in optimal neutral position and realign the foot with the body so that the joints and muscles can work efficiently to reduce or eliminate pain. Even for people who have done surgeries on knee or hip, using a 3D custom medical orthotics can maintain alignment so the surgery can continue to be successful. 

Bunion deformity is caused by wearing shoes which are too tight and narrow. So choosing wider shoes with more space can relieve bunion pain. 

It is very important to choose comfortable and correct shoe type to have healthy feet. When we buy shoes, we should buy it in the afternoon when our feet measurement is at its largest. In the morning or at night our feet could measure about 1cm shorter. It is also important to have about two fingers spacing at the back of sports or school shoes for maximum comfort.

JennOrtho at 3rd floor, Sunway Velocity Mall offers free feet analysis using the biomechanical machine. You can bring your family here to get feet analysis report. It is advisable to bring children below 12 years old to get their feet checked because it is easier to correct their feet problem when young. They can use insoles and good shoes if they have feet problems. JennOrtho also offers a wide variety of shoes to choose from. 

Children's shoes are very comfortable and colorful.

At the end of the talk, there was lucky draw with 3 prizes and I was happy to win a JennOrtho kids insole.
