Blending New Technology with Traditional Techniques

Blending New Technology with Traditional Techniques

June 30, 2020

The custom foot orthotic industry is evolving and this is evident from the orthotic design process through to manufacturing. We have had tremendous success in staying true to the craft by blending traditional methods with new technology and are proud to introduce a 3-D laser scanning system into our clinic, complimented by a CAD/CAM milling machine in our on-site Lab. Our new system (Voxelcare) allows us to digitally design custom foot orthotics and manufacture them more quickly, reducing our client’s waiting time between initial assessment and dispensing of the product. We can design custom foot orthotics to fit a variety of everyday footwear as well as specialty footwear such as ice skates, cycling shoes, and ski boots.

Custom Foot Orthotic

Everyone’s feet are unique, as is everyone’s treatment plan. We continue to use our traditional methods to cast for custom foot orthotics, including foam box casting and plaster, but have adapted to using our 3-D laser scanner as well. Our pedorthist’s work one-on-one with you to analyze your symptoms, alignment, and biomechanics to help decide which casting technique will provide the most desirable outcome. All of our custom foot orthotics are evaluated throughout production by our Pedorthist’s and are finished off with a comfortable cushion topcover.

Custom Foot Orthotic

As one of the first clinics in Canada (first clinic in BC), to start using Voxelcare to say we were excited was an understatement. By blending new technology with traditional techniques, we have been able to stay true to our craft while advancing our practice into the new digital world all whilst keeping the individuality and customization that our clients require in order to help them Move Well, Be Well.

Quest for Kindness

September 16, 2021

To us, movement is key. To move, means to change position, or to make progress. We believe in helping not only people Move Well but we also see the benefits of helping move our community to think better, to be better, and to do better. We believe that change starts within, beginning with us, with our employees, through our customers, and in the community at large - that is where "Quest For Kindness" was created.

My Run Story: Mom of 4 and a 250 pound, plus size runner
My Run Story: Mom of 4 and a 250 pound, plus size runner

August 31, 2021

 My running story starts like most runners', I was not a runner. I bought an indoor treadmill in the fall of 2017 and used it for about 6 months with the intent of getting into running. Two days after my 43rd birthday in March of 2018, I stumbled, tripped and did a nose-dive into the rabbit hole that is the seemingly innocent, non-addictive world of running and attempted my first “outdoor” run. And no, I was not being chased by a bear nor was someone trying to snatch my purse - all comments and perceptions people of my stature often receive when others see us running outside. I simply laced up an old pair of Saucony’s, put on some good music, and started walking until I got to the part of the park where I was not visible to the street traffic. As a plus size runner, one of the things we fear most is being seen by onlookers or made fun of. My walk quickly turned into a jog and my jog into a run until finally I had an overwhelming sense of pride and accomplishment beaming from within. I was becoming a runner.
