It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for an in-person evaluation, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional who knows your medical history.
No doctor–patient relationship. Using this website, including the foot type questionnaire, member content, videos, articles, emails, community features and live Q&A sessions, does not create a doctor–patient relationship with Jeffrey Bruening, DPM, or with any other healthcare provider, and no such relationship will be formed through Stridesmartrun.com.

They are not a diagnosis, may not be accurate for you, and may not apply to your situation.
