Our clinic serves individuals throughout York Region, offering precise, medically-based orthotic assessments and devices that are tailored to each patient’s biomechanical needs.

Proper foot care is essential to maintaining balance, mobility, and joint health. Custom orthotics can help manage conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, overpronation, arthritis, and diabetic foot issues. At our clinic, each device is prescribed following a detailed gait analysis and lower limb assessment by a licensed physiotherapist. Our goal is to ensure that your orthotics contribute to optimal movement and long-term injury prevention. FIT Physiotherapy combines clinical experience with evidence-based practice to deliver durable, functional orthotic solutions for patients across Newmarket and York Region.

How Do Custom Orthotics Work?

You might think that orthotics seem similar to regular shoe insoles, however, insoles do not address your feet’s unique biomechanical issues. Our team will examine your feet to determine any conditions that need to be treated, in addition to analyzing how you walk and how your feet move. This assessment will be used to write a detailed prescription for orthotics custom footwear that will minimize any abnormal foot functioning, and redistribute pressure off overburdened areas, providing extra support to your feet in the places they need it.

Orthotics help to properly align the bones of your feet, ankles and knees, reducing pain, discomfort, stress and strain, as well as preventing the development of continued deformity. Once you start wearing your new orthotics, you’ll notice the benefits through your ankles, knees, hips and lower back.

Painful or fallen arches
Plantar fasciitis
Bunions or Hammer Toes
Low Back or Hip Pain
Flat Feet and High Arched Feet

Gait Abnormalities, such as excessive pointing inwards or outwards of feet while walking
Chronic Pain in the Heel, Ankle, Knee or Lower Back
Diabetes and Arthritis
Shin Splints

The types of orthotic devices fall into three main categories:

Rigid Orthotics: These are designed to control foot function, and are mainly used for walking shoes.
Soft Orthotics: These are prescribed for diabetic, arthritic or deformed feet, designed to absorb shock, increase balance, and redistribute pressure away from uncomfortable spots.
Semi-Rigid Orthotics: These provide foot balance during sports or walking

Relieve Pain & Stay Active

We provide custom orthotics designed to help patients stay active while managing or preventing pain and discomfort caused by biomechanical imbalances. Whether you’re on your feet all day, returning to sports, or recovering from an injury, properly fitted orthotics support healthy movement patterns and reduce stress on joints and soft tissues.

Custom orthotics can correct alignment issues, allowing the body to use the right muscles during movement and avoid compensations that lead to chronic foot pain or overuse injuries. By improving stability and distribution of pressure, orthotics play a key role in maintaining optimal foot health and enabling a pain-free lifestyle. At FIT Physiotherapy, our clinical approach ensures each pair is tailored to your specific needs, supporting both performance and recovery.

FAQ

What are custom orthotics, and how are they different from store-bought inserts?

Custom orthotics are medical devices specifically designed to support and correct the alignment of your feet based on a detailed assessment by a licensed professional. Unlike over-the-counter inserts, custom orthotics are tailored to your individual biomechanics, providing targeted support for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or chronic foot pain. At FIT Physiotherapy in Newmarket, all orthotics are prescribed and fitted by a physiotherapist following a clinical evaluation.

Who can benefit from custom orthotics?

Custom orthotics can benefit individuals experiencing foot, ankle, knee, hip, or lower back pain due to improper foot mechanics. They are commonly recommended for people with flat feet, high arches, overpronation, arthritis, or diabetes-related foot issues. Athletes and active individuals may also benefit from orthotics to improve performance and prevent injury. We provide orthotics across Newmarket and York Region for patients of all ages and activity levels.

What is involved in the orthotic assessment process at FIT Physiotherapy?

Our assessment includes a thorough history, physical examination, and gait analysis to evaluate how your feet move during walking or running. Based on the findings, we determine if custom orthotics are appropriate and design them to address your specific condition. The process is evidence-based and led by licensed physiotherapists to ensure accuracy and optimal results.

Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?

Many extended health insurance plans cover the cost of custom orthotics when prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider. FIT Physiotherapy offers direct billing to most major insurance companies to simplify the process for our patients. We recommend checking with your provider for specific coverage details before your appointment.

How long do custom orthotics last?

With proper use and care, custom orthotics typically last between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as activity level, foot structure changes, and wear. Periodic reassessment is recommended to ensure continued effectiveness. At our Newmarket clinic, we provide follow-up evaluations to adjust or replace orthotics as needed for ongoing support.
