A Certified Pedorthist will perform a detailed biomechanical assessment and functional evaluation of your feet and lower limbs. An assessment is intended for individuals who are looking for a comprehensive treatment program for lower limb musculoskeletal issues, management of a systemic medical condition such as arthritis or diabetes, or those who are interested in exploring the many benefits of custom orthotics. Custom-made orthotics are medical devices that support and gently reposition the heels, arches, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones of the feet, enabling them to work together, as nature intended, to make each step you take pain-free. Unlike shoe inserts bought over the counter, custom-made orthotics are made using molds of your feet to meet your unique needs. They can be specially designed to match your foot type and / or medical condition and fit in a variety of footwear such as: dress shoes, sport/performance shoes, sandals, work boots, children’s shoes and many more.

It is important to get the brace that fits! We will evaluate your needs to ensure you get the best brace to match your lifestyle. We will also take the time to properly fit the brace and to show you how it works, when to put it on etc.

Having difficulty finding the right pair of shoes for your feet? Our Canadian Certified Pedorthist will assess and help you find the perfect fit. Please bring a couple of pairs of your current footwear that you wear on a regular basis.

Gait analysis is a way of assessing the way you walk or run. Not only do we look at your feet but we also focus on your knees, hips and back. The gait assessment is a valuable tool for us to help determine the cause of your problem and identify biomechanical problems that we will address. Our on-site gait assessment lab is fully equipped with the latest technology and software to investigate every little detail. We will record your gait via high speed, hi-definition cameras from various views on a treadmill. Realtime video, together with data gathered ,will then be relayed to a laptop for visual analysis. This will facilitate slow motion and freeze frame analysis when your gait is assessed by our certified pedorthist.
