I am a licensed physical therapist of 6+ years who has worked primarily in pediatrics in the home health setting and intermediate care facility. In my career, I have learned that children have limited footwear options when they receive new orthotics (braces). Majority of children shoes on the market are difficult to put on for children with braces, which frustrates kids and parents. As a result, children do not wear their braces, delaying therapy results. My desire is to see children and teens receive the best physical therapy outcomes they need with orthotics, with stylish and affordable footwear options, which inspired me to start EJ Kicks, LLC based in North Carolina.
