What Do We Do? We provide a wide variety of orthopaedic devices which are used to enhance an individuals physical ability to perform activities of daily living. We work with other health care professionals to produce devices that are specific to the patients particular rehabilitation needs. Why Choose Us? We guarantee that all patients will be assessed by a Canadian Board Certified Orthotist. All Certified Orthotists have completed a two year post graduate clinical education in Orthotics as well as a two year residency before they are able to write The Canadian Board Certification Exams. Only after completing the Canadian Board Exam are Orthotists able to use the designation C.O.(c). In addition to our clinical staff, we have the technical expertise of a Canadian Association of Prothetists and Orthotists Registered Technician in Orthotics. This is to assure the patient that they are receiving a device that has been fabricated with an exceptional level of quality.

Did you know swelling can actually increase in the winter? 🧊

Cold temperatures can affect circulation, making feet, ankles, and knees feel stiff or puffy.

Orthotics and bracing can help manage swelling by improving alignment and reducing unnecessary joint load.

Winter comfort starts with proper support ❄️

01/21/2026

A few simple habits can help you feel better during cold-weather activities:

✔️ Supportive, insulated footwear
✔️ Moisture-wicking socks
✔️ Orthotics or bracing for proper alignment
✔️ Short warm-up breaks to boost circulation

Stay supported. Stay mobile. Stay comfortable this winter!

We’re excited to announce one of our Certified Orthotists, Linda Laakso, will be co-presenting at an upcoming Ruth Ruttan & Assoc. workshop on February 20, 2026!💙

The goal of the workshop is to equip registered nurses with the knowledge and hands-on skills to:
👣 Understand normal and pathological gait.
👣 Recognize gait deviations that contribute to wounds and foot ulcers.
👣 Identify risk factors in patients with neuropathy and diabetes.
👣 Apply offloading principles by identifying gait-related pressure risks and implementing temporary protective and/or reflective padding as an interim measure prior to assessment by a specialist.

If you’d like more details about this workshop, our team is happy to help!
