Orthotic Break-In Instructions
For the first week, please refrain from taking long walks, going to the gym, or anything that will require you to put stress on your feet while you are breaking in your orthotics.
If needed, you may want to wear them around the house during the required break-in time. If you need to be on your feet longer, please take them out prior to your activity.
- Day 1: wear them for 2 hours.
- Day 2 wear them for 4 hours.
- Day 3: wear them for 6 hours.
- Day 4: wear them for 8 hours.
- For the remaining three days you will be wearing them as often as possible.
After your break-in week, the second week you will return to your normal activities with your orthotics. This means you can now go walking, shopping, gym, etc. During this time, please pay attention to whether you are experiencing pain and/or discomfort.
If you are feeling anything out of the ordinary, please call and make an appointment, your orthotics can be modified or changed to suit your needs.
