Flat Feet Problem

[fongjin]

OK! So we went for our 6 month follow-up review with Dr Jessica yesterday and want to share the good health news! :rahrah:


My daughter feet have improved, still not 100% so will need maybe another 6 months or year of treatment. The good news is, her feet can still use the same insoles so no need to buy new one just yet , only need to keep wearing them every day like normal in school. Also was talking with a man in the waiting room from Indonesia, he says that for the past 12 years he has skin problem that all the specialist in malaysia, indonesia and singapore cannot fix, then see Dr Jessica for painful heel, and she also diagnose his skin problem, and his pain is gone and no more skin problem...I thought she only treat bone problem....

I have picture to show my daughter progress but from this computer its not working one. Will try from different comp tomorrow :xedfingers: finger crossed my daughter feet still keep improving!

wow, i learnt so much about flat feet after reading this. I think my niece is suffering the same issue. Will inform my sis about this:)

Wow, this doc seems good! And the price is ok too. I have bought my daughter to a different podiatry in tanglin. She is ok (maybe a little $$ hungry) but price is much more expensive! Last visit paid $580 for insoles… Are they the same as dr Jessica ones? Maybe I will check and see if her ones are the same. If they are… My goodness, how can be such a big price difference??

Hi MMM, Do you have Dr Jesscia's website or contact?


Anyway, I had asked around among my relatives. Their children have visited this clinic or shop at SGH. Their rate are comparable to Dr Jessica's. Quality wise, pretty good (according to my cousin) and the best thing is, their children no longer complain after wearing them.

I want to compare these two before bringing my kids down.

I brought my son to Dr Jessica last Nov to assess his flat feet. He always seem to be a bit clumsy - falling down or sprain his legs all the time. I thought it is because of his flat feet but Dr Jessica said he had high arched feet instead. She explained her diagnosis and recommended leg exercises to strengthen the muscles in his feet, as well as making a special insole for him. Though the insole is costly but it is worth it. The insole is based on a mould she made of my son's feet so that it has the right support at the arch. Now my son doesn't complain of pain and his posture has also improved. Most important of all, he doesn't fall down anymore.
Personally, I find Dr Jessica to be a very nice, soft spoken lady and very professional too.

Sounds good… do you have her address to her shop?


I have checked with my relatives and seems like majority of the kids had went there to have their foot assessed and had their pairs of insoles (if they need).

Shall update here soon after my visit, be it to dr Jessica’s or the SGH’s.
