What You Can Expect From My Foot Guy
Board-Certified Foot PPE Expertise
Programs Built Around Your Shifts and Budget
On-Site Wellness Services Made Easy
Providing Workplace Injury Prevention
On-Site Convenience for Your Employees
A lot of corporate wellness programs sound great on paper…until employees have to drive across town on their own time, sit in a waiting room, and figure out insurance just to get someone to look at their feet. Most don't bother, and the fact is, only about 20% of employees use their corporate wellness program benefits. The result is the same crew in the same safety boots, quietly limping through every shift.
That's why My Foot Guy is different. We will come to your job site to make it easy for your employees. A 15–20-minute appointment includes a foot assessment, gait analysis, custom insoles, and educational information. We do all of this during their scheduled appointment at the event. We offer a true mobile orthotic fitting service, so your employees don't lose half a day of work just to get help.
Instead of sending people off-site, we set up a mini foot clinic in your break room, training room, or conference space. A Board-Certified Pedorthist can pick up on the foot mechanics and footwear issues that drive many strain injuries and mystery aches then give foot pain solutions for employees that they can use the same day.
On site, our process for workplace injury prevention looks like this:
Foot and footwear history
We learn what hurts, how long it's been going on, what boots or uniform shoes they're required to wear, and what their day looks like on the floor, in the field, or around the terminal.
Gait and posture check
This involves a quick visual assessment while they stand and walk in their real work footwear. This is our chance to look for over-pronation, flat feet, load patterns, and compensations that impact the knees, hips, or low back.
In-boot or in-shoe solution
If needed, we help your employees select and fit the right insole, arch support, or support sock based on their mechanics and the volume of their safety shoes or duty shoes.
Education & next steps
Your employees will receive guidance on how to break in their new support, what to watch for, and when they should follow up with us or with a medical provider.
Diabetes Foot Care for Employees
Our foot and ankle specialist, Bryan, is qualified to work with individuals with diabetes and neuropathy on proper foot care. For employees experiencing neuropathy in their feet due to diabetes, Bryan will ensure they are under the care of both a primary care physician (PCP) and a podiatrist.
Additionally, Bryan is skilled at identifying potential health concerns beyond the foot. For instance, leg swelling could indicate a circulatory issue requiring medical attention. In such cases, he will refer patients to appropriate healthcare providers for further evaluation and treatment.
The Silent Suffering of Blue-Collar Workers
Blue-collar workers often endure a disproportionate amount of physical discomfort. Low health literacy rates among this population hinder their ability to recognize, understand, and address health issues.
Furthermore, a prevailing culture of stoicism encourages workers to bear pain rather than seek assistance. As a result, many employees suffer in silence, reluctant to disclose ailments like foot pain (often exacerbated by ill-fitting boots or insoles, or structural foot abnormalities). These conditions can also contribute to more significant knee, hip, and lower back pain.
My Foot Guy occupies a unique position to address the healthcare needs of blue-collar workers by providing workplace injury prevention by focusing on the feet. Further, Bryan’s ability to relate to the physical demands of these occupations fosters trust and open communication.
By establishing rapport with his patients, Bryan can identify underlying issues that contribute to overall discomfort, such as the connection between foot problems and knee, hip, or back pain. Early detection of potential red flags, like swelling or numbness, allows for timely referrals to primary care physicians or podiatrists.
A fundamental aspect of effective foot pain solutions for employees involves educating patients about the connection between foot health and overall well-being. By explaining the biomechanics of the foot and its impact on the body, My Foot Guy can empower patients to make informed decisions about their care. This knowledge, coupled with appropriate referrals, enables patients to take a proactive approach to managing their health and preventing future complications.

You're Not a Foot Specialist. You Shouldn't Have to Be.
If you're running HR, safety, or operations, your job is keeping people safe and productive, not becoming an expert in orthotics, gait mechanics, and work boots. Instead, team with My Foot Guy for your workplace injury prevention needs involving the feet and ankles.
Here are some of the things we hear before companies bring us in for on-site wellness services and a dedicated mobile orthotic fitting service:
"New safety boots and a wellness newsletter will solve it."
Upgrading footwear is a good start, but even the best boot can’t fix over-pronation, flat feet, or load patterns that have been there for years. Most generic corporate wellness programs focus on steps, weight loss, and stretching. They rarely send a foot specialist into your plant, hangar, or job site to see how those boots actually provide working support. My Foot Guy’s program starts with the feet inside the PPE you already require and builds foot pain solutions for employees around that reality.
"If employees want insoles, they can buy their own."
That’s how you end up with a break room full of foam cushions, random online inserts, and workers who are still limping. Without a qualified examiner, employees guess at arch height, support level, and fit in safety-toe or uniform shoes. Some overcorrect, some under-support, and you still see the same complaints and claims. Our mobile orthotic fitting service brings a Board-Certified Pedorthist on site to assess gait, footwear, and job demands, then choose the right configuration for each worker.
"Our ergonomics or PT vendor already handles this."
Most ergonomics consults and on-site PT programs are excellent at workstation setup, lifting technique, and early intervention, but they rarely go deep on boot fit, in-shoe mechanics, and how load travels through the kinetic chain.
With these programs, feet are often a bullet point but not the focus. My Foot Guy specializes in workplace injury prevention.
"Pulling people off the floor for appointments will kill productivity."
The true killer of productivity is chronic pain that causes your workers to move slower by the end of the shift, swap tasks to avoid standing, or miss days for hip, knee, and low-back issues that start at the feet.
Our on-site wellness services are scheduled around your operation, so your employees walk out with in-boot support and a simple plan the same day, and you keep coverage without sending anyone off-site.
"We'll just wait until people file claims or see a doctor."
By the time a foot or heel issue becomes a formal injury, you’re already dealing with lost time, workers’ comp, or restricted duty. Early foot pain solutions for employees are one of the simplest forms of workplace injury prevention you can deploy.
If you're tired of piecing together boots, generic insoles, and broad-brush wellness initiatives, what you need is a focused, on-site foot PPE program. My Foot Guy brings that to you as a specialized mobile orthotic fitting service that integrates with your safety program, supports your crews, and protects your bottom line.
Where We Bring On-Site Foot Wellness Across Central Virginia
Our mobile orthotic fitting service is made for employers in the greater Richmond region, and we plan each on-site wellness event around your facility, crews, and safety requirements.
Richmond Metro
From downtown offices and hospital campuses to distribution centers along I-95, we bring on-site wellness services directly to your break rooms and training spaces. We work with safety, HR, and operations teams in the city to fit orthotics and work socks for staff who walk concrete corridors, loading docks, and parking structures all day.
Chesterfield
South of the river, we support manufacturers, contractors, logistics hubs, and healthcare practices throughout Chesterfield, Bon Air, Brandermill, and Midlothian. Many of these sites have strict footwear and PPE rules, and we come on site to solve foot pain inside those requirements instead of asking employees to experiment with retail inserts on their own.
Short Pump
In Short Pump and the broader West End, we serve offices, retail centers, and medical complexes where staff split their time between standing, walking, and meetings. Our foot pain solutions for employees focus on uniform shoes, business-casual footwear, and safety shoes used in back-of-house operations.
Chester
We provide on-site clinics for warehouses, industrial sites, construction yards, and service companies throughout Chester. Many of these teams spend entire shifts on hard surfaces or outdoors. That's why bringing a Board-Certified Pedorthist to the job site is often the most effective form of workplace injury prevention you can deploy.
Communities We Serve

Don't Let Pain Sabotage Your Work
Through working with organizations large and small, we've seen that employees often "suffer in silence" with foot, knee, hip, or lower back pain. They may hesitate to communicate their issues or seek medical attention. By bringing in a foot and ankle specialist like Bryan, you can address these painful conditions and prevent injuries proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our On-Site Foot Wellness Services
How does a mobile orthotic fitting service actually work with a corporate wellness program?
Think of it as a pop-up foot clinic in your building. We come to your facility with a Board-Certified Pedorthist, set up in a break room or training room, and run a schedule of 15–20 minute one-on-one appointments during each shift.
In each slot we:
- Take a quick history focused on job tasks, required footwear, and pain patterns
- Watch the employee stand and walk in their actual work boots or uniform shoes
- Check wear patterns, fit, and any obvious load issues
- Fit in-boot supports that match their mechanics and your PPE rules
You get an on-site wellness service that plugs directly into your existing corporate wellness programs and safety initiatives, with minimal disruption to coverage.
We already have an ergonomics program. Where does this fit in our workplace injury prevention plan?
An internal ergonomics program is a great start! Those programs are doing a lot of heavy lifting on posture, lifting technique, and workstation setup. What they usually don’t do is systematic work on how required footwear interacts with each employee’s job duties.
Our mobile orthotic fitting service works alongside your existing partners. So, instead of overlapping with your current vendors, we fill a gap that strengthens the rest of your workplace injury prevention strategy.
What kinds of workplaces see the biggest benefit from foot pain solutions for employees?
Anywhere people are on their feet in required footwear for most of the day is a strong candidate. In practice, we’re usually called by:
- Industrial and warehouse facilities with long shifts on concrete
- Airports, transportation, and logistics hubs with strict safety-shoe rules
- Healthcare, hospitality, and food-service teams in non-negotiable uniform shoes
- Field service, plumbing, electrical, and construction crews in steel-toe boots
Our goal is to offer foot pain solutions for employees that respect your PPE and uniform rules.

How do we know this on-site wellness service is really preventing injuries and worth the budget?
It’s totally understandable that you want ROI from your on-site wellness services. Injury-prevention and MSK vendors typically show that early, on-site intervention can reduce recordable injuries and workers’ comp costs versus a “wait for a claim” approach. We apply that same evidence-based logic to feet and footwear.
We can also give you aggregate insight (without individual health details) into common pain patterns, footwear conflicts, and simple changes that can make your required shoes more sustainable for your workforce.
Are there times when insoles and orthotics aren’t the right answer and an employee should see a doctor instead?
Yes. And being honest about that is part of why employers bring in a Board-Certified Pedorthist instead of a sales kiosk from a box store that sells shoe inserts.
During an on-site event, we’re always watching for red flags that suggest the employee needs medical evaluation. Examples include:
- Sudden or severe pain, especially after a specific incident or injury
- Visible swelling, redness, or warmth that suggests infection or an acute joint problem
- Open wounds, ulcers, or skin breakdown (especially in employees with diabetes)
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation
- Pain that’s rapidly worsening despite rest and basic self-care
In those cases, we’ll recommend that the employee follow up with the appropriate medical provider.
Our mobile orthotic fitting service isn’t a band-aid for everything. Instead, it becomes a smart front line in your broader workplace injury prevention strategy.
