Custom Orthotics: Personalized Foot Support

Tailored orthotics to enhance your mobility.

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts crafted to support your unique foot structure. Whether you're dealing with discomfort from standing all day, engaging in sports, or simply walking, these inserts can help align your feet and improve your overall balance. By distributing pressure evenly and correcting foot posture, custom orthotics can alleviate pain and prevent future issues. At Whole Therapy, we focus on understanding your individual needs to create orthotics that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, enhancing comfort and mobility.

When we stand and walk, our bodies experience forces that create stress and strain. If the feet are not properly aligned, these forces can contribute to discomfort and dysfunction in the knees, hips, back, and neck. Addressing foot imbalances can play an important role in improving body alignment, reducing pain, and enhancing mobility.

Custom orthotics are inserts designed to be placed inside footwear to provide support and optimize foot function. They can be an effective tool in managing pain and movement issues by promoting better biomechanics and stability.

While orthotics can help address foot imbalances, they are one approach within a broader strategy for improving movement and function. A comprehensive assessment by a Registered Physiotherapist ensures that your unique needs are considered, whether through orthotics or other therapeutic interventions.

When prescribed appropriately, custom orthotics can: ✔ Reduce pain in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. ✔ Enhance stability in joints that may be prone to misalignment. ✔ Support mobility for individuals who may not be able to make extensive functional changes. ✔ Provide relief while working toward long-term movement and alignment improvements.

A custom orthotics assessment with a Registered Physiotherapist helps determine whether orthotics are a suitable option for you, while also considering additional strategies to improve function and comfort.
