A good number of big name fitters are physical therapist, makes sense to learn proper fitting, and the use of one of the various systems out for doing this. I read through one of the big name system's ads with a listing of where their locations are, and who would be doing the sessions, a good number of the specialist listed were physical therapist.

Our insurance won't cover orthotics at all, not any podiatrist work is available with our low budget coverage. We are fortunate to even have this with the current construction situation in this area. I have used a podiatrist in the past, and he did a fantastic job. If our insurance would pick up things like orthotics and fitting it would be nice to have that available, but with the current laws and the cost of the "Cadillac Coverage" policies, I don't foresee that happening. No dental or eye care either. Its cash up front for me for those things, no big deal, just save for a bit in order to handle it.
