Orthotics in Brampton
When your feet aren’t properly supported, they can throw off the balance of your entire body, causing discomfort in your ankles, knees, hips, and back. Dusk Physiotherapy offers custom orthotics designed to address these biomechanical imbalances, helping you move with greater ease and less strain.
Our orthotics are crafted by Leading Edge Orthotic Laboratories, a trusted Canadian provider recognized for its precise 3D scanning and use of durable, high-quality materials. Whether you’re dealing with foot pain, lower back issues, or joint strain, a properly fitted insole can make a noticeable difference in your daily comfort.
Steps in the Custom Fitting Process
The process begins with a complete biomechanical assessment. During your first visit, we evaluate your posture and analyze how it affects your walking pattern. We also check for any imbalances, including leg length discrepancies, foot deformities, and hip alignment issues. Watching your gait as you walk helps us catch subtle differences in weight distribution and balance.
The most important step is a 3D foot scan, performed while your foot is in a neutral, non-weight-bearing position to capture the natural curvature and alignment. This scan generates a precise model that’s used to design your custom insoles, complete with cushioning, support, and stability modifications.

Get Your Special Insoles and Start Moving Better
Once your scan and prescription are sent to the lab, they take about seven to 10 business days to complete and ship back to us. You’ll then return for a fitting appointment, during which we ensure the orthotics work properly with your chosen footwear. This slow adjustment helps prevent muscle soreness and promotes a smoother transition.
To help your body adapt to the new alignment, we recommend a gradual break-in schedule:
- Wear the orthotics for about 1 hour on the first day
- Increase wear to 2-3 hours on the second day
- Bump up to 3-4 hours on the third day
- Continue increasing by small increments over the next several days until you’re able to wear them comfortably all day
Support That Stays with You
Custom orthotics typically provide reliable support for eight to 12 months, depending on your daily activity level. If you wear them full-time, we suggest renewing them each year. Older pairs can still be used in shoes you wear less often, giving you long-term value and consistent support.
Making Insurance Claims Easy
We provide the necessary prescription and paperwork to help streamline your insurance claim, making the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
