Feet pain that just won't quit despite custom insoles and countless physio, massage and chiro sessions?

First it was just a dull ache going up or down the stairs, but now? 

It hurts when you walk, stand or even sit still for too long.

Adventurous, spontaneous moments with family and friends get replaced with "Sorry, not today." 

All the things that used to light you up - like weekend hikes, sports, and travel - now feel off-limits. 

And by now, you’ve like tried everything under the sun: physio, chiro, massage and expensive custom orthotics. Maybe you got some temporary relief or it felt like it was getting better for a bit, but nothing ever really lasted. Sooner or later, the pain in your feet would come straight back. 

Here's the real reason for your chronic feet pain and why traditional treatments don't work: 

There's likely nothing wrong with your feet at all. They are simply the messenger, not the source of your pain.

Chronic pain in your feet that doesn't go away despite traditional treatment is usually caused by compensation patterns that your brain developed to protect an old injury elsewhere in your body — usually your ankle, hip, or back.

When one of those areas is injured (even years ago), in order to keep you moving while healing, your brain adjusts how your body walks and stands, usually by turning your feet inward or cutting your steps shorter. 

Over time, if left uncorrected those small compensations in your movement reduces your feet's ability to absorb shock and distribute weight properly. The end result is inflammation, tension and eventually pain that shows up in your feet.

That’s why most traditional approaches to treating feet pain doesn't lead to lasting relief. Because they only treat you where you feel the pain but the root cause of pain is actually due to improper movement mechanics that go beyond just your feet. 

My treatment approach focuses on identifying and correcting these compensation patterns through rebalancing your body’s entire movement mechanics — so your feet (and everything else) can finally move the way they were designed to.

And THAT'S what makes my methodology so effective, even if you've tried everything else. 

"I'm doing activities I haven't done in years [...] never thought would be possible again [...] I'm confident Johdi can help you too."

After years of knee pain that kept me from doing the things I loved, I had honestly given up hope. I'd avoided stairs, was super careful when exercising, and even simple activities like walking became painful reminders of what I couldn't do anymore. I felt like I was aging faster than I should have been. Working with Johdi completely changed my life. Her approach was different from anything I'd tried before - instead of just treating the symptoms, she helped me understand what was really causing my pain and gave me practical tools to address it. Within just a few weeks, I noticed I could walk up stairs without wincing. What impressed me most was how they didn't just fix the immediate problem - she taught me how to move properly so the pain wouldn't come back. Now five years later, I'm doing activities I haven't done in years. I recently went on a hiking trip up a glacier, something I never thought would be possible again without having to be careful or pay the price in pain afterwards.

If you're living with chronic pain and feeling like you've tried everything, don't give up. I'm confident Johdi can help you too

Why is identifying and addressing compensation patterns so effective at fixing chronic pain for good? 

It all has to do with how we move!

Every move you make — from lifting a cup to climbing stairs — starts in your brain, specifically the motor control centre. It sends signals to your muscles, telling them how to move. When things are running smoothly, you move pain-free.

But then life happens —injury, surgery, trauma, stress etc.— all of these factors affect your body’s ability to move properly. So, your brain compensates by finding new ways to move. 

If these compensatory patterns aren't corrected once the initial injury heals, they become your new "normal" because your brain continues to send your body the compensatory movement signals, essentially causing your body to forget how it's actually supposed to move. 

Over time, these improper movement patterns creates friction and tension throughout your body which eventually shows up physically as chronic pain.  

My whole-body approach identifies all the faulty movement patterns your body has developed over time —the true source of your pain— and retrains your motor control centre to restore proper movement, finally breaking the cycle for good. The result of my treatment methodology is a complete reset and fix of your entire body's movement mechanics so that it can finally move the way it's meant to. In other words, you won't just walk away with pain-free feet. You'll also walk away with a body that's balanced, strong and resilient to future injuries. 

The first step in all this?
