2026 Study of orthotics and bodywork in gait (walking and hiking)

Hi! Thank you for being here!

We are looking for people who are experiencing pain when walking and or hiking. This study will consist of 5 sessions and be published upon completion. If you are interested in being a part of this study, please send your name and phone number to research@fly14er.com and an application will be sent to you.

The sessions will include gait analysis (walking barefoot on a treadmill while feet are being recorded), bodywork (stretching/various pressure techniques while clothed except feet), and questionnaires. There will be a few minutes of daily homework between sessions and a log to track activity.
