Queen West Physiotherapy is excited to announce that the clinic has a summer special on custom made Orthothics starting this Canada Day Weekend and Ending on July 31, 2015.


Shoe inserts from a drug store or shoe store are not to be confused with custom made foot orthotics. Most people have tried over the counter shoe inserts at some time in their life, and they ended up being disappointed. That’s because there’s no such thing as an “average foot”, so a one-size-fits-all solution for foot pain doesn’t exist.


Every person with a foot problem can benefit from wearing custom made orthotics. It is estimated that over 70% of the population suffer from rolling inwards of the foot and fallen arches (‘excess pronation’) which is the major contributing factor to foot problems. As people get older this problem often worsens. Those over 50 years old: As people get older, the muscles and ligaments in the foot become weaker, as do the bones due to calcium reduction. In addition, the fatty padding under the foot thins out, which means less protection and cushioning for the bones, in particular the heel bone. Fallen arches combined with thinning fat tissue are a recipe for foot problems. Heel Spurs are the most common foot complaints for those over the age of 50.


People who are on their feet all day: Factory workers, nurses, teachers, people in retail and many other industries are required to stand on their feet for hours each day. Hard, unforgiving surfaces like concrete and asphalt take their toll after prolonged standing even for young and healthy people! Most common complaints are tired, aching feet and legs as well as lower back pain. Women who are required to wear dress shoes with heels (mostly in retail) often suffer from pain under the ball of foot and/or aching legs.


Custom MadeOrthotics are made from more durable materials than over the counter shoe inserts, and they last for years, not months. Orthotics are custom designed specifically for a person’s foot to improve running, walking, and balance by supporting the arch, cradling the heel and rotating the foot into a “neutral” position. This support and proper pronation helps the foot function at its maximum level. When a person’s foot is balanced and supported correctly, the wearer is less prone to ankle or foot injury, knee pain, hip pain, and back pain as well. After all, a person’s entire body is riding on their feet.
