Foot support

How foot mechanics affect everything above them

Every step you take starts at the foot, so the way it lands and pushes off affects your ankles, knees, hips and back.

Training floor in the Recoup Health rehab gym

When an arch collapses, a foot rolls inward or pressure lands unevenly, the strain can travel upward. That's why foot mechanics sometimes play a part in knee pain while walking or running and lower back pain from long days on your feet. Custom orthotics are shoe inserts designed around your feet. They help spread pressure more evenly, support the arch and guide how your foot moves through each step.

Good to know

Orthotics work best as part of a plan, not on their own. Our practitioners may pair them with foot and hip strengthening through physiotherapy at our clinic, or with sports rehab for runners and athletes. If your ankle tends to roll, a supportive ankle brace may help too. Assessments take place at Recoup Health, a rehab clinic in Vaughan, and no referral is needed to book.

How we work

A foot and gait assessment comes first

We look at your foot structure, how you stand and how you walk, along with your footwear and daily activities. Orthotics are recommended only when that assessment shows they're likely to help.

Your first visit

What to expect at your first orthotics appointment

Your first appointment is our chance to understand what’s going on, how it’s affecting you and the best next steps.

What to bring

  • Photo ID
  • Insurance information
  • Any relevant imaging, reports or physician notes
  • A list of medications or past treatments
  • Comfortable clothing you can move in easily

Please arrive a little early if you have paperwork to complete.

Your assessment

We start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and goals, then a physical evaluation of how your body moves and where limits may be coming from.

Once we identify the issue, we explain what we found, answer your questions and map out a plan that fits your needs.

Orthotics FAQ

Common questions about orthotics and foot support

Can’t find your answer? Call us at 905-605-9020 or email info@recouphealth.ca.

What are custom orthotics?

Custom orthotics are shoe inserts made to match the shape and mechanics of your feet. Unlike off-the-shelf insoles, they're designed from an assessment of how you stand and walk.

Do I need orthotics for flat feet?

Not everyone with flat feet needs orthotics, because many people with flat feet have no pain at all. Orthotics are worth considering if your feet, ankles, knees or back ache with standing, walking or exercise.

Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?

Custom orthotics are covered by some extended health plans, but the rules vary and many plans require a prescription or specific paperwork. Check with your provider before your assessment, and ask our front desk if you need help understanding what to look for.

How long does it take to get used to orthotics?

Getting used to orthotics usually takes a short adjustment period, so start by wearing them for part of the day and build up gradually. Some awareness of them is normal at first, but tell us if you notice new pain.

Can orthotics help with plantar fasciitis?

Orthotics can help with plantar fasciitis by supporting the arch and reducing strain on the tissue under your foot. They work best alongside calf and foot stretching and changes to your footwear.

What shoes should I bring to my orthotics assessment?

For your orthotics assessment, bring the shoes you wear most often, such as work shoes and running shoes. The wear pattern on your soles helps us understand how you walk.
