Orthotics to Alleviate Pain

Orthotics are customized inserts placed in your shoe. Orthotics are designed to correct biomechanical/structural alignment issues that may be contributing to foot, ankle, knee, hip and low back pain.

Orthotics to Alleviate Pain and Enhance Sport Performance

Orthotics can correct or enhance the function of the muscles and joints of the spine and the lower limb thus, preventing injury and optimizing function. In this manner, custom orthotics can enhance performance in sport.

Impact activities result in large forces being transmitted to the structures of the foot. Slight imbalances in the foot that are not harmful or even detectable under usual circumstances may make one more vulnerable to injury with the extra stress of sports activity.

Orthotics can optimize force/pressure distribution through the foot, minimizing excessive stress/strain on structures within the foot and maximizing propulsion during walking and running. At The Physio & Massage Institute Ltd. our orthotics are hand-crafted by Rob Marcolini, Certified Pedorthist.
