Custom-Orthotics--nova-physiotherapy-clinic-dartmouth-timberlea-halifax-ns

Nova Physiotherapy provides custom orthotics to clients throughout the Halifax area at our clinics in Halifax, Bedford, Dartmouth, and Timberlea. Our team of physiotherapists are all trained and experienced to assess your situation and determine the appropriate orthotics product specifically for you.

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk causes a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. Custom orthotics can have a profound impact on how you feel.

Prescription orthotics look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance.

We are pleased to be affiliated with The Orthotic Group, which has been producing custom orthotics since 1985 and have grown to provide their services internationally. They are so confident in the durability of their 100 percent intrinsic memory plastic, that they guarantee it for a lifetime of wear against breakage.

We also have the technology of the Gait Scan system, which is a superior pressure plate that can provide 2D and 3D pictures of the foot in standing and during the walking cycle. This information is very helpful in determining the structure of the orthotic we will prescribe after a mold is taken of the feet.
