A Physiotherapist from our Winnipeg physiotherapy clinic will perform a thorough gait analysis and assessment, as well as, cast a mould of your foot in a neutral position. These plaster casts are then shipped to Paris Orthotics where they will fabricate your individualized custom orthotics from the mould supplied. Essentially the orthotics work by bringing the ground up to your foot minimizing maligned joints and supporting the affected areas needed in a neutral position. These malalignments can cause our gait mechanics to put unnecessary stress on our joints and tissues thus causing pain into the feet, lower extremities, and even travelling up to the back.
Fit 4 Life can cast your feet for Custom Foot Orthotics for all types of footwear from runners and everyday shoes to dress shoes and even hockey/figure skates!
