"Political Correctness" is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end
£250-£700 for foot orthoses. What's that in dollars about $500- &1,400?
Pricey.
Not one DPM or orthopaedic foot & ankle specialist on staff.....?

Ok that makes more sense then. If you're going to charge ludicrous prices for an in-shoe device, the sticker shock should make people wince and forget all about their foot pain ! I am clearly not charging enough...
BTW I have used optics to cast feet. I believe some of the systems are becoming very good but there are inherent problems with them. The biggest is getting a good capture of the posterior calcaneus. I also found that the software conversion to a volumetric cast is a challenge. I am not convinced that these optical systems perform well for every pathology or foot.

I am from one of those 'other' disciplines, I fully appreciate what you are saying.
It could be worse. They could be selling Foot Levelers :)

Would the British Osteopathic Association not respond to a letter or two?
Hi Laurence,
From what I know about the British Osteopathic Council they would not listen to another profession trying to ring-fence the treatment of the foot for themsleves.
Thats if this chap is an Osteopath. Its hearsay, but this time I think I heard it from DTT.
Thanks for clearing that up. With reference to the new Bentley I suppose we shouldnt be suprised - he claims to dispense 3000 pair of orthoses a year, and at approx £1000 each I suspect he blows his nose with £50 notes.
