Precision-moulded foot orthotics from a comprehensive biomechanical assessment — correcting the structural imbalances that drive foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back pain. Direct billed to most extended health plans.
The foot is the foundation of the kinetic chain. Structural or functional abnormalities at the foot — excessive pronation, supination, leg length discrepancy, or faulty pressure distribution — transmit abnormal forces up through the ankle, knee, hip, and spine with every step. Custom orthotics correct these forces at the source, reducing compensatory strain throughout the entire lower extremity and back.
At Move to Motion, orthotics are prescribed following a comprehensive biomechanical assessment performed by our physiotherapists or chiropractors. We use digital 3D scanning technology for precision accuracy, and our orthotics are fabricated by Canadian laboratories to our exact specifications — not generic over-the-counter insoles.
Custom orthotics correct the overpronation and arch collapse driving plantar fascia overload — addressing the structural cause rather than just the symptom.
Foot pronation causes internal tibial rotation that misdirects patellar tracking. Orthotics reduce this mechanism and alleviate anterior knee pain.
Excessive foot pronation increases hip adduction and knee varus stress. Corrective orthotics reduce lateral knee pain in runners and cyclists.
Heel wedging and rearfoot control reduce tensile load on the Achilles tendon during walking and running — complementing exercise-based treatment.
Medial arch support and rearfoot control correct symptomatic flat feet, reducing medial ankle pain, shin splints, and knee valgus.
Metatarsal pads and forefoot modifications reduce intermetatarsal compression, directly relieving the mechanical driver of Morton’s neuroma pain.
Heel lifts and corrective orthotic modifications address functional and structural leg length differences driving hip, sacroiliac, and lumbar pain.
Pressure-distributing orthotics reduce plantar pressure at high-risk sites, preventing diabetic foot ulceration and promoting tissue health.
Asymmetric foot mechanics and leg length differences transmit abnormal forces to the lumbar spine. Corrective orthotics reduce this contribution to chronic back pain.
Custom orthotics are only as good as the assessment behind them. An orthotic prescribed without a biomechanical assessment is not a custom device — it is a guess. Our process ensures your orthotics correct the specific mechanical problem driving your pain.
Your assessment takes approximately 45–60 minutes and includes a full lower extremity biomechanical examination. We examine you in standing, walking, and running (where indicated), and consider your footwear, activity level, and occupational demands when designing your orthotic.
Your orthotics are manufactured by a Canadian orthotics laboratory from our digital scan and biomechanical prescription. Fabrication typically takes 2–3 weeks. At your fitting appointment, we verify fit, comfort, and function — and make any necessary adjustments before you leave the clinic.
Most extended health benefit plans cover $300–$500 per pair per year for custom orthotics. We provide a detailed receipt including the prescribing clinician’s registration number for your insurance submission, or direct bill where your plan allows.
