Pain in the feet can hit at any time. Whether it’s while scoring your next goal or carving it out on the slopes, we’ve got your feet covered with comfort in mind!
Many people think orthotics can only fit into big and bulky orthopaedic shoes, but that’s just not the case. Here at BioPed we can fit orthotics to any of the footwear that you love. From ski boots to skates, none of your winter activities are off limits. With our on-site lab, anything is possible, and usually just involves thinning out and narrowing your favourite set of orthotics to fit into your winter footwear.
But some of you might be asking, what can orthotics actually do for my feet? Read below and find out!
Orthotics are all about managing the stress you put through your feet with each and every step. In high intensity sports, such as hockey and skiing, this stress increases greatly! Orthotics work to manage this stress by helping to support your foot structure, correct biomechanical abnormalities and change where you put pressure through your feet. This becomes increasingly more important as your day gets longer. The more time you are on your feet, the more impact they take. Whether you are suffering from plantar fascia pain, ankle pain or even pain higher up the leg and into the hip, orthotics can be a great tool. Made with a variety of materials depending on what suits you and your footwear best, your nearest BioPed lower limb clinician can get you all sorted out within a few days!
