AVENTURA, FL (January 28, 2008) – Footcare Express, a team of physicians, pedorthists, and biomechanical experts, who have a proven track record with helping professional athletes, like New England Patriots football player Kelley Washington, stay at the top of their game.

The physicians and pedorthists at Footcare Express pride themselves in the challenge of diagnosing athletes’ chronic foot and ankle issues and isolating the problem to find an optimum solution. One prime example of Footcare Express’s ability to help professional athletes overcome issues that may be inhibiting their ability to play is the work they have done with New England Patriots football player Kelley Washington. Washington, who is a wide receiver for the New England team, was sidelined during the 2007 football season due to a chronic foot and ankle issue. Washington sought out help from the team at Footcare Express in a last effort to correct these issues and get him back on the field. Working with Footcare Express since mid-October, Washington has made a glorious comeback after using the custom foot orthotics that the physicians at Footcare Express provided.

“When you are a professional athlete, you depend on your ability to be at the top of your game. When there is an obstacle, you must overcome it,” said Washington. “That is exactly what Footcare Express has done for me.”

Offering a variety of services, including a full service podiatry practice, Footcare Express also includes an extensive retail business and a Pedorthic facility. The Aventura-based facility is fully accredited by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics which ensures that Footcare Express provides the highest standards in fulfilling patient prescriptions for therapeutic footwear and/ or other durable medical equipment including but not limited to foot orthotics, braces and other foot and ankle related modalities. The physicians and pedorthists at Footcare Express work with various NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL teams and players, and several colleges and universities.

Footcare Express also has its own on-site state-of-the-art Custom Foot Orthotic Laboratory that allows the doctors and technicians to use technology to digitize the foot, allowing for a more accurate replica of the foot, making prescriptions more accurate as well. Doctors and technicians use the latest technology to diagnose and treat foot problems including the F-Scan, which allows the clinician a split-second perspective on all phases of the walking cycle or gait cycle and through Video Motion Analysis, which captures the gait cycle using fame-by-frame imaging.
