Patient process

From your diagnosis to their door.

01

Document the diagnosis

Plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, PTTD, neuroma, sesamoiditis, and 15 more. Hand the patient a referral card pointing them to GoMFO®.

02

Patient selects condition and shoe type

Diagnosis-specific modifications are pre-matched. Patient selects from a curated shoe type list — lab optimizes accordingly.

03

AI-guided photo measurement

Patient photographs each foot against a paper reference. The system extracts heel geometry, arch height, and metatarsal head span.

In-office option: staff completes capture in under 5 minutes.
04

Lab fabrication

KevinRoot Medical fabrication protocols applied to patient anatomy and ICD-10 diagnosis.

05

Direct-to-patient delivery

Ships in 5–7 business days. No return visit. No follow-up required from you.

Specific modifications for 20 conditions

Each GoMFO® orthotic is prescribed by diagnosis, with modification protocols matched to the specific condition.

Trusted by clinicians

Backed by real clinical expertise

GoMFO®'s protocols are developed with and validated by practicing clinicians.

RB
Dr. Rich Blake, DPM
Medical Director, GoMFO® · Chief of Podiatry, Kaiser San Francisco (Ret.)

The biomechanical protocols behind GoMFO® are grounded in Root theory — the same clinical science I've relied on for decades. For patients who need precise orthotic intervention without the wait or cost of an L3000 device, this fills a genuine gap in the care continuum.

HL
Dr. Howard Liebeskind, DPM
Team Podiatrist, Los Angeles Lakers · GoMFO® Medical Advisory Board

Most patients with common foot pathologies never reach a specialist. GoMFO® gives any clinician a clinical option to offer — not a product, but a prescription process backed by real orthotic science. I recommend it to patients who wouldn't otherwise access proper orthotic care.

The science behind GoMFO®

Real doctors who spent their careers on this

Foot orthotics are not guesswork. They're based on years of research by doctors who studied exactly how feet work, how they get hurt, and how the right kind of support helps them heal.

Kevin A. Kirby, DPM
Developed the Tissue Stress Theory: foot pain is caused by too much pressure on one tissue, and orthotics work by moving that pressure away.
Merton Root, DPM
Created the first proper system for making custom foot orthotics, including how to mold a foot and what to measure. The foundation GoMFO is built on.
Richard Blake, DPM
Developed practical techniques for correcting overpronation and built much of what we know about prescribing orthotics for real patients.
Howard Danenberg, DPM
Showed that a stiff big toe joint causes problems all the way up the body, including in the back and knees.
Clinician FAQ

Questions we hear from practices

Answers to the questions most clinicians ask before referring their first patient.

GoMFO®'s AI extracts heel cup geometry, arch height, and metatarsal head span from standardized smartphone photos — the same three variables captured in neutral suspension casting. For the 80–90% of pathological foot pain cases that respond well to a correctly modified orthotic, the photo-based process is clinically sufficient.

Your role is to document the diagnosis. GoMFO® executes the corresponding orthotic modification. Analogous to recommending a night splint brand — you are not fabricating or warranting the device. Consult your malpractice carrier for jurisdiction-specific guidance on referral liability.

In virtually all cases, no. GoMFO® serves patients who won't pursue an L3000 device due to cost, lack of coverage, or access barriers. For complex cases requiring full biomechanical workup, your L3000 remains the appropriate standard.

Staff can complete photo capture during the visit — two sheets of standard paper, patient stands barefoot, plantar and medial profile photos. Under 5 minutes, no equipment required. The ordering process also works on desktop or tablet.

GoMFO® is appropriate for primary presentations without significant structural deformity. Escalate for severely compromised biomechanics, surgical follow-up, pediatric conditions, neurological complications, or when conservative care fails.

Prefabricated vs. Custom Orthotics in Plantar Heel Pain
Landorf KB et al. Archives of Internal Medicine, 2006. — Custom orthotics significantly reduced pain and disability at 3 months, reducing calcaneal eversion and fascial elongation.
Tissue Stress Theory and Orthotic Design
Kirby KA. JAPMA, 2001. — Orthotics reduce tissue stress below the damage threshold. Heel lifts decrease insertional fascial tension; medial wedging reduces rearfoot eversion velocity.
Effect of Metatarsal Pads on Peak Plantar Pressure
Holmes GB Jr, Timmerman L. Foot & Ankle International, 1990. — Proximal metatarsal pad placement reduced peak pressure at the 2nd–4th met heads by up to 40%.
Orthotic Management of Intermetatarsal Neuromas
Bennett GL et al. Foot & Ankle International, 1995. — Metatarsal dome orthotics reduced interspace compression in 70% of patients over 3 months, avoiding surgical intervention.

Van Hal ME et al. American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1982. — Sesamoid relief cutout reduced peak pressure under the 1st MTP by 62% and resolved symptoms in 84% of athletes.
Heel Lifts and Eccentric Load Reduction
Munteanu SE, Barton CJ. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2011. — 6mm bilateral heel lift combined with eccentric exercises produced superior outcomes to exercise alone by decreasing the Achilles moment arm.
