Mason Grogan Podiatry

Earth faces a triple planetary emergency:

🌏 The climate is heating up too quickly for people and nature to adapt;

🌏 Habitat loss and other pressures mean an estimated 1 million species are threatened with extinction;

🌏 Pollution continues to poison our air, land and water.

The way out of this dilemma is to transform our economies and societies to make them inclusive, fair and more connected with nature. We must shift from harming the planet to healing it.

The good news is the solutions and the technology exist and are increasingly affordable.

is the campaign for World Environment Day 2022. It calls for collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.

Did you know...to most effectively reduce peak pressure on the plantar foot, an orthosis should act to distribute force over the largest possible surface area. Such an orthosis would be one that conforms very close to the arch of the
foot and is rigid enough so as not to deform under body weight.

We know this might be common knowledge to you, but we have materials that are engineered to distribute pressure. Want to know more? Get in touch with us today!
