We study how you stand, walk and move to understand your case and decide what approach may make clinical sense.
A footprint is only one piece of information. We combine symptoms, examination, movement, footwear, activity and your goals.

Choose the situation closest to yours. This is not a diagnosis; it is a simple way to find the right information before you call.
We assess where symptoms occur, how you load the foot, your mobility and the possible role of footwear, activity and gait.
We assess the relationship between loading, gait, mobility and symptoms cautiously. Knee or back pain is not automatically attributed to the foot.
We relate movement to your symptoms, training volume, surfaces and how your body is actually tolerating the activity.
Age, pain, fatigue, falls, gait and development help us decide whether observation is enough or whether the case should be assessed.
We assess functional balance, mobility, sensation, pressure areas and how easy your footwear is to use before considering progressive options.
We review surgery, accidents, asymmetry, neurological conditions or previous orthoses that have not been well tolerated.
Tests help us observe pressure and movement, but they do not replace clinical examination or your history.
We use data to understand the problem more clearly, explain the options and decide the next step with you.
Explore the biomechanical assessmentThe MEDIPIE Method connects biomechanical assessment with an individual decision. The outcome may be observation, changes to activity or footwear, coordination with another professional, or treatment when indicated.
We start with your symptoms, limitations, activity and history, then select the tests that answer the clinical question.
We relate mobility, loading, gait, footwear and activity without automatically attributing symptoms to one structure.
The conclusion may be observation, changes to activity or footwear, coordination with another professional, or treatment.
Only when an orthosis is indicated do we define its purpose, geometry, materials and stiffness and fabricate it in our own workshop.
We fit it to your foot and footwear and review tolerance, functional response and wear so that adjustments can be made when needed.
Podiatrist responsible for MEDIPIE
Juan Bautista Calero personally performs the assessment, explains the options and oversees the whole process when custom treatment is indicated.
This continuity means that the clinician who studies the case also checks fitting and progress.
We do not send our custom orthoses to an external laboratory. After biomechanical and postural assessment, we define the objective, design and appropriate resins or materials for each patient.
When indicated, our direct adaptation technique allows the orthosis to be shaped directly to the foot without an intermediate mould, checked for fit and then adapted to the footwear before tolerance is reviewed.
How we make custom orthoses
A member of the team will answer your call, ask briefly what is happening and help you book the most appropriate first visit.
See what the assessment includes, why a footprint alone is not enough, what decisions the findings may inform and when a foot orthosis may or may not be indicated.
