Foot Care: The Correct Ways to Keep Our Feet in Good Shape

Oh my poor feet! You jump, walk, run, stand for hours and carry my body weight on you all the time. We spent so much effort and money to look good with all those skin care, body care, hair care, nail care and etc; have ever think of foot care. Psst… tell you a secret I have bunions, ouchhh! Yah sometimes it’s painful but love to wear heels, how? What should I do? I think I need some help here so few weeks ago I attended MyORTHO’s Dato’ Dr Edmund Lee talk at Tropicana City Mall’s Dr Kong outlet. He sheds some light on the correct ways to keep our feet in good shape.

I was my honor to learnt and understand my feet better so that I will not have problems with my feet or walking as I grow older. Well, Dr Edmund is a registered Orthotist & Prosthetist and is a Member of BAPO (British Association of Prosthetist & Orthotist). He started MyORTHO Rehab Sdn Bhd in Malaysia in 2009, a natural extension of his family’s Lee Prosthetics and Orthotics clinics.

There is free Check & Fit foot examination / assessment service at Dr. Kong’s outlets which provides the information of our feet shape, concerns and also the correct choice of insoles & shoes for us.

Feet assessment

I did my foot assessment and was given advice as to the most suitable shoes for my feet conditions – bunions. 

After that I get choose a pair of Dr Kong footwear that is suitable and fit my concerns at the same time I also bought MyORTHO Hav Splint for my bunions, only have to wear it when I sleep.

By the way, there was also an exquisite festive hamper consisting of Chinese New Year goodies, shopping vouchers, MyORTHO merchandise and the extremely helpful The Ultimate Guide To Foot Care written by Dr Edmund himself.
