Maybe you’ve recently completed physical therapy and are feeling stronger…
Or maybe you’ve been dealing with recurring pain or fatigue and wondering if your feet have something to do with it.
Either way — your feet could be the key to lasting relief and better movement.
Why Your Feet Matter More Than You Think
Your feet are your foundation — quite literally. Every step you take sends force through your ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
If your arches collapse, your foot rolls too far in (or out), or one leg bears more weight than the other, that misalignment travels upward.
Over time, even small imbalances can lead to:
- Recurring knee or hip pain
- Tightness in your low back
- Plantar fasciitis flaring up again
- That same old injury knocking on the door
If You’ve Recently Completed PT…
You’ve done the work. You’ve committed to your therapy sessions, shown up consistently, and started to feel the difference — less pain, better movement, and more confidence in your body.
But once therapy ends, everyday life can start to chip away at that progress, especially if your feet are still causing imbalances higher up the chain.
Custom orthotics act like a support system that keeps your body aligned as you return to normal routines, helping prevent those frustrating setbacks many people experience after PT.
If You Haven’t Been Back in a While — Or You’ve Never Tried Physical Therapy…
Maybe you haven’t returned to PT because life got busy… or maybe you’ve never tried it at all, but you’re dealing with foot, knee, back, or hip pain that seems to keep coming back.
The truth is, your feet could be a major factor, and orthotics might offer the support your body needs to finally feel better.
You don’t have to be in physical therapy to benefit from custom orthotics. Many people use them proactively to reduce pain, improve posture, and avoid future issues altogether.
Enter: Custom Orthotics from Foot Levelers
At Hands On NJ Physical Therapy, we’ve partnered with Foot Levelers — a trusted leader in custom orthotics — because their approach is just as personalized as ours.
Unlike generic insoles you can buy in a store, Foot Levelers orthotics are made from a precise 3D scan of your feet. They’re designed to support all three arches of the foot (most only support one) and calibrated to your body’s unique structure and needs.
That means:
- Better alignment
- More balanced posture
- Less strain on muscles and joints
- And the ability to stay active without regression
Support That Goes Beyond the Clinic
Whether you’ve gone through PT before or you’re just noticing that your body doesn’t move or feel like it used to, custom orthotics can make a real difference.
They act like a foundation upgrade — supporting your body as you go about your daily life: walking the dog, standing at work, chasing after your kids, or hitting the golf course.
And because Foot Levelers orthotics fit in most types of shoes (yes, even dress shoes), the support stays with you wherever you go — not just in the gym or clinic.
