This place is a gem! I have had chronic foot problems and have seen 3 podiatrists, various orthotics suppliers, physios and medical doctors. None were as tuned in, helpful and practical in their guidance as Neil was at SoleFit. He is extremely professional, listens carefully and offers solutions - everything from custom orthotics to recommendations for exercises and specific guidance on shoes. The clinic is spotless, very well managed and provides top level service. I would recommend them highly!

Very positive and professional environment. The people at SoleFit are extremely patient - always taking the time to make sure you understand what is going on and how they are going to play a part in helping you. They are forward thinking and modern with exploratory qualities making it possible for them to prescribe with a dynamic approach and not being stuck in a "one size fits all" rut. Thank you Neil and the team at SoleFit!

Ryan and Neil are really exceptional. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They helped me pinpoint the real cause of my challenge in running long distance. They also helped me choose the right shoes and directed me to right tools and resources for my training. Thanks so much to Ryan and Neil, I was able to complete my very first marathon.

I've worked with Neil a couple of times now both personally and professionally. A huge asset to the athlete community as well as the health and wellness community in general. Passionate about his work, generous with his time and knowledge and an expert in how to move well I've learned a lot from each interaction I've had with Neil. Neil's gait analysis and tips around form and technique allowed me to run more efficiently than ever before AND without pain and injury. If you're an avid runner or a beginner, or someone just looking to improve your running form, I would highly recommend a consult!

I’ve been a client of Ryan Grant at SoleFit for many years. He is a top-notch professional in his field. His expertise enhances both my running and also my overall well-being. Whether it’s dealing with metatarsal issues, Achilles tendonitis, or chasing my personal best, Ryan has always been part of the solution. He shares enthusiasm for my goals and is eager to assist me to achieve them. Thank you Ryan, for being an integral part of my support team!

Picked up my fresh new orthotics in mid-December. It took a few weeks for the angry first metatarsal to calm down and for the footbeds to soften up but they’ve been terrific since then, two months later. Then new orthotics puts my feet in a more neutral position. In ski boots, they completely disappear. On the bike, my knees now track closer to the top tube than before. And running! After years of avoiding it, got back onto a treadmill a few times and don’t feel crippled afterwards. Highly recommend SoleFit, Neil, and Ryan for any of your foot health needs.

I had an appointment with Julia for some knee issues from running. Her gait analysis and very thorough explanation of the mechanics of my run/feet was superb. She clearly knows her stuff and her interest in client care is evident. After six months of feeling frustrated with no real answers to my issue, I left feeling confident with the information that Julia provided that we might yet resolve my running pain. I would highly recommend SoleFit and Julia for the serious amateur athlete looking to optimize performance. Exceptionally well priced for the service. Thank you!

Best, most comfortable orthotics ever! Probably higher end than other places but once you slip them on you'll know where that $$ went. I'm still in the breaking in phase and get a little sad when I have to take them out. Julia was a pleasure to deal with. Very friendly and helpful! Unreservedly recommend.

Started running and wanted to get an assessment so I could meet my goals. Had an evaluation by Ryan and couldn’t be happier about the insight he gave me into my mechanics and how other aspects of life affect my goal. He is very knowledgeable, personable and inspired me to work towards my goal. Highly recommended!!

It have consulted Ryan at SoleFit on two separate occasions for completely different reasons. My first visit was about 9 years ago to help me figure out the right running shoe and orthotic combination to help get someone with 2 protruding discs in their back and who was never a runner through their first ironman. It worked and 9 years later I still recommend SoleFit to anyone from the Ottawa area that think they may benefit or want to learn more about orthotic.
My recent visit was to help me figure out why my calf muscle had partially atrophied at some point in the last 3 years and how to help
