      She also commented that as kids' feet are growing and those custom made soles are not cheap so she usually ask parents to get off the rack... But if the soles can indeed last the child for 2 years (eg. with growing feet)


      Hi MMM, can the custom made soles really last 2 years?

        She said it is very durable. But we said 2 years because my ds is only P4 and his feet is still growing (but his feet is already size 41.... adult size :faint: ) so he will probably outgrow his custom made soles.

        Seriously, we've not experienced it. We are only collecting his soles end of the week.

          If anyone has any leg problem, I would recommend Dr Jessica. I think she has alot of knowledge! But I also agree with MMM it feels weird not paying for her to see each child ><

          Hi,

          Great to hear that you have great experience with her as well. Yes.... seeing the location of her clinic and considering the time she spent with us...I was thinking to myself.... how can it be free??? I was also wondering how is she going to survive with the free consultations :oops:

          She asked my ds to do tip toe exercise everyday to improve his condition. 1st observation was that he can squat better now (without falling over like humpty dumpty) though it's just been a few days.

          Ds will be collecting his insoles this friday and was so keen to get the shoes that Dr Jessica recommended..... They are looking forward to going to her clinic again this week....

            She really has some instant fixes right? I thought it was impossible to fix these types of problems with results so fast one. Also for your son, it just goes to show that the feet actually have many problems, not just plain old flat feet.

              Anyone knows what is the criteria to apply the star card? My DS is already 12, can we still apply?

              The star card is from toys r us. You don't need to have children to get the card. I'm quite sure mine was free but it was when I purchased something from there..

                  Wah! Can actually see the arch now. What treatment did she do? Massage? Had thought treatment was only effective for young children. My son (almost 15, size 10 shoes) has flat feet. Doesn’t bother him much except when he has Nafas tests and goes inline skating. My nephews said those with flat feet suffer more in NS, when they have to march/trek/stand still for long hours.

                    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!

                      Thanks for your sharing & update! Looks like I must bring ds to see Dr Jessica after his exams. ds has flat feet & has been complaining abt leg pains esp when he runs hard.
