The martial arts and podiatry are not a good mix. Most martial arts are played barefoot, so foot problems and foot injuries are common. The problem is that most foot problems need the help of a shoe to treat them. Of course, it is not possible to wear a shoe during martial arts. For the podiatrist to treat a foot injury in these people is going to be difficult and all about compromises and the outcome of the treatment is likely to be less than ideal. Foot orthotics or supports can only be used in footwear, so they have to spend as much time as possible wearing shoes.
