D. Casey Kerrigan, MD
D. Casey Kerrigan, M.D. (she, her, hers) is a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist (physiatrist) and chairwoman of JKM Technologies, LLC and its subsidiary, OESH Shoes. OESH (the word SHOE upside down and inside out) was founded on discoveries from her peer-reviewed published research that most shoes do more harm than good, especially to women’s bodies. Supported by the National Institutes of Health, her research, which informs a much healthier shoe design, was performed first at Harvard Medical School where she also received her M.D., and then at the University of Virginia (UVA) where she was recruited to be the first woman tenured professor and chair in the school of medicine. Supported by the National Science Foundation, the machinery and processes to make OESH shoes are now located in rural Virginia. In addition to running OESH, Dr. Kerrigan is currently a practicing physiatrist for Medrina and research professor at UVA.
