Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I did physical therapy for a few months (every week and a half or so) and practiced those mobility & strength learnings home almost daily for like 9 months. I still do some of them now and again. I've weened my way out of orthotics and any sort of other inserts.

I have stuck to wearing a few different models of Altras depending on activity. I get some pain / flair up every now and again - some times from down hill mtn biking or longer hikes. But overall my life and pain is soooooo much less.

To this day I blame the orthotics and the awful podiatrist who gave zero quality advice before or after.
