Dr Hlavac offered me calm in the midst of my chaos about what suddenly happened to my foot and what to do about it. I'm a highly competitive athlete. During one of my training matches, my foot suddenly became so painful that I couldn't walk on it - a new and inexplicable experience for me. For a couple of weeks, I tried medications, new shoes, arch supports - etc - based on the advice of everything from my doctor to sports specialists to google. I finally came across Dr Hlavac - who immediately 1) diagnosed my injury, 2) modified my existing shoes to support me, 3) instructed me on how to care for my foot (via taping) to 4) enable me to compete in a tournament the following week - and make it to the finals in two events. So, obviously, I can't say enough about him. We're now moving on a more permanent, non-surgical solution - and I expect this recent injury will simply move into the pile of distant memories of other short-lived incidents - while, at the same time, improving other aspects of my biomechanics and performance. Thanks, Harry. read more
