One thing we’ve been trying to get on top of for Lola lately… leg and hip pain 👣
So we took her to see Made at Global Health in Sanur to get assessed for orthotics, and honestly he was incredible at explaining everything in a way that actually made sense 🤍
At first glance Lola’s feet looked completely flat to us… but it turns out she does have arches, they’re just extremely flexible, which causes her feet to roll inward and puts pressure through her legs and hips
One of those things that’s so much better to sort early 👌
The orthotics are custom made here in Bali using EVA foam and take around 2 weeks to be ready 👀
And side note… Made actually has his own clinic specialising in orthotics and prosthetics here in Bali, which is honestly amazing
Really grateful we found someone so knowledgeable and kind to help us get on top of this properly 🤍
📍 Global Health, Sanur
Bali has always been a sanctuary for exploration and relaxation for our family. However, during this trip, our main focus was finding relief for Lola's persisting leg and hip pain. The solution? A visit to the reputable Global Health clinic in Sanur.
We were warmly greeted by Made, the specialist at the clinic. Known for his expertise in orthotics and prosthetics, Made made it his mission to demystify Lola’s condition. At first, Lola's feet appeared flat to us, but Made's keen eye and knowledge unveiled the truth: Lola actually has arches—albeit very flexible ones. This flexibility causes her feet to roll inward excessively, transferring undue pressure to her legs and hips.
Understanding the issue is half the battle, and early intervention was critical. Custom orthotics molded to Lola’s specific needs were the recommended solution. Intriguingly, these are crafted right in Bali using EVA foam, promising durability and comfort. The creation process takes about two weeks, a small price for long-term relief and improved mobility.
A reassuring sideline to this journey was discovering Made's personal clinic, solely dedicated to orthotics and prosthetics. His compassionate approach and proficiency in his field were immensely reassuring, knowing that Lola’s well-being was in capable hands.
This experience not only helped alleviate Lola's discomfort but also enhanced our Bali adventure, allowing us to explore this beautiful island with more ease. Made and his team have given us a gift—a chance to cherish our vacation days without the shadow of pain hanging over us.
For families visiting Bali, Global Health in Sanur is a beacon of hope for addressing similar physical challenges. The combination of professional, compassionate service and the stunning Balinese backdrop made our health journey remarkably positive.
