Custom Orthotics
Kick Physiotherapy & Sports Medicine Inc. specializes in custom orthotic fitting and sport orthotics. We proudly offer custom orthotic fitting in the city of Vaughan.
We create prescription orthotics using orthotic inserts and the customized topcover. Our orthotics gently reduce strain and muscle tension.
How are orthotics made?
At Kick we use plaster cast exclusively.
The plaster cast method is the most accurate method for designing orthotics. This method requires you to take a plaster cast of your foot while lying down. Your feet remain in a ‘neutral position’ while the plaster hardens and dries. This method enables the cast to most accurately represent your ideal foot position. Specific measurements are also taken to make modifications to your orthotic based on your specific foot type and function.
