Biomechanical Assessment
In order to properly address the wide variety of foot disorders, it is crucial that we have a way of assessment that will ensure high levels of improvement, consistently. To do this, we have a truly Orthometrix-only method of assessment that will
Foot and lower extremity disorders are a a complex combination of factors. One reason why many people continue to suffer from ongoing foot problems is due to a lack of understanding of the root causes of the problem, leading many to try many treatments with consistently little success or relief of symptoms. At OrthoMetrix, our specialist will aim to identify major contributing factors and design a treatment strategy to directly reduce symptoms. Our solutions are always different for each patient and consists of a variety of the following options:
​
-
Supportive devices such as custom foot orthotics and supportive insoles.
-
Guidance on footwear selection for your specific biomechanics
-
Bracing
-
Exercises
-
Referral to another professional
​
One of our core principles is to ensure all patient's have a much clearer understanding of their problem and to have a clear idea about how to find a solution. Above all the previously stated options, the most important is that you know more about your own health at the end of the appointment than in the beginning. The best way people can help themselves is to provide them with the tools to do so.
This process begins with a biomechanical assessment appointment with our Certified Canadian Pedorthist, Danny Tso. Danny is the founder of OrthoMetrix and is also the main clinician you can expect to meet and oversee your case. As a Certified Canadian Pedorthist, Danny utilizes theoretical principles in Pedorthics and practical, hands-on experience in orthotic manufacturing to assess and treat complex foot and lower extremity disorders.
