I started as a patient with knee and heel pain. When orthotics helped me, I trained for 3 years to become a Pedorthist after completing my Kinesiology degree from the University of Waterloo. I worked at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in London, ON for 12 years before moving to Fredericton in 2009.
I have worked closely with orthopedic surgeons, sport medicine and family physicians, physiotherapists, massage therapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors. I consider myself an important part of a team approach. In addition to helping patients, I am an instructor for the Diploma in Pedorthics offered through Western University, and a supervisor and mentor for upcoming Pedorthists since 2001.

Foot orthotics are inserts placed inside your footwear to help alleviate pain or symptoms related to how your foot is built, how it moves, or how stress is applied to your foot and up your leg. They come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes depending on your lifestyle needs and your foot structure.
Don't wait till you have gaping holes. Footwear is only designed to last 1-2 years even with only moderate wear. General rules to follow: the shoes you wear 80% of the time should be replaced once a year. Research has shown that running shoes break down and need to be replaced after 800 km of running.
