Kids exercise and grow strength by playing tag, crossing the monkey bars, riding bikes, swimming at the beach or a whole host of other fun activities. That’s why making a smart shoe choice for your teens and kids is an easy way to help your kids grow as strong and healthy as possible.
One of the reasons people seek out a professional to analyze their gait is to insure they are using the best shoe available. But sometimes this might not be as helpful as you think. And here's why.

“Our 10-year-old son has Asperger Syndrome. He had been pulling out his eyebrows and his hair. He was not sleeping through the night and had a lot of angry verbal outbursts. These things had been going on for two to three years. After a few weeks with Dr. Brad, we saw almost immediate results under Dr. Brad’s care. Our son began sleeping through the night and quit pulling his hair. His attitude has improved and his reading took off.
I appreciated Dr. Brad’s understanding of the situation and his honesty about how often he really needed to see our son to get and maintain results.
I would highly recommend Dr. Brad. He understands the dilemma of families like ours and is always very friendly to our son. The results have been great and quick.”
