Orthotics in Surrey, BC
Custom orthotics designed for your foot structure to relieve pain and improve alignment throughout your body.
What is Orthotics?
Custom foot orthotics are specially crafted insoles designed to correct abnormal foot mechanics, redistribute pressure, and align the lower extremities. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are fabricated from a precise cast or scan of your foot to match your unique anatomy.
Foot dysfunction is often a contributing factor in knee, hip, and lower back pain. Orthotics address the root cause of biomechanical imbalances by repositioning the foot and ankle, reducing excessive pronation or supination, and absorbing shock during activity.
At Amari Physio & Massage, custom orthotics are prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include gait analysis, strengthening exercises, and manual therapy to achieve the best long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are custom orthotics different from store-bought insoles?+

How long do custom orthotics last?+
With proper care, quality custom orthotics typically last 2โ5 years. Children may need more frequent replacement as their feet grow.
How long until I notice results?+
Some patients notice immediate improvement. For conditions like plantar fasciitis, full resolution may take 6โ8 weeks as the orthotics correct long-standing biomechanical patterns.
Are orthotics covered by insurance?+
Most extended health plans cover custom orthotics with a physiotherapist's prescription. We can provide the necessary documentation for your claim.
