Get a gait analysis by a Canadian Certified Pedorthist, C. Ped (C).

The Pedorthist will watch and learn how foot position and the way you walk can affect your lower body.

During the gait analysis, the Pedorthist watches the toes, feet, ankles, knees, hips,
back, arm swing, balance, step cadence, head position, and trunk position. By watching how the whole body walks, this helps the Pedorthist determine as much information as possible in order to decide to how to make the orthotics.

Sometimes as a result of pain, or a difference or abnormality on one side, people alter they way they move without realizing it.

If there is altered mechanics, it can lead to pain if there is extra stress being placed on joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Luckily, Pedorthists are trained to determine if there are any differences that can be causing the pain and provide a solution. Our goal is to get as many details as to what causes the pain and look for reasons why this is happening.
