For over twenty years, Sole Supports has been an innovative, medical-grade foot orthotics manufacturer, pioneering a completely new paradigm for foot correction, and the casting and manufacturing technology that implements it. Our CEO and founder, Dr. Edward Glaser DPM, started the company with one core principle - We Make People Better. We make thousands of pairs of orthotics a year to help achieve this goal, treating everyone from professional athletes to elderly patients who are having trouble just taking that first step in the morning.

 
Sole Supports is the second largest employer in Hickman County, Tennessee. Our facility houses all our Corporate Offices as well as the Production Lab, where Sole Supports are created.

Dr. Edward S. Glaser, DPM studied mechanical engineering at SUNY Stonybrook and received his doctorate in podiatric medicine at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Although not a common path for a podiatrist, it turned out to be the right exposure for a future foot biomechanist. Dr. Glaser developed a thriving practice over thirteen years and then chose to walk away from that success to challenge orthopedic conventions with the development of MASS Posture Theory. Thirty years and over a million pairs of orthotics later, Dr. Glaser made his life’s mission a reality with Sole Supports, the orthotics lab he founded, which operates under the core value: ‘We make people better’. 

MASS Posture Theory is a unique look at managing foot biomechanics from an engineering perspective, utilizing an all-axis model based on individual idealized gait, published in the Foot and Ankle Foundation Online Journal. Dr. Glaser has earned a celebrated national and international reputation for re-visioning and re-engineering foot orthotics and the way practitioners can significantly correct biomechanics in the foot and lower extremity – and ultimately the entire body.  

For the last several years, Dr. Glaser has been lecturing for health care professionals focused on treating United States military active-duty service members. Additionally, he is researching and developing the Relax, Release, Relief technology: a series of releases designed to manually and mechanically interrupt the neurological feedback loop that causes so many instances of chronic pain. RRR is used as the preferred method of arch support break-in of Sole Supports custom orthotics.
