Custom Orthotics Vancouver
At our Vancouver clinic we ensure custom made orthotics, when required, are truly custom as the complete orthotic is made in our onsite laboratory. It makes us cringe at the thought of foot orthotics not being used because they don’t fit your shoes or aren’t fitting properly. From carbon fibre cycling orthotics for Tour de France cyclists to super thin orthotics for those shoes that we shouldn’t wear but still do, we want to make sure our custom orthotics fit what you’re actually wearing!
CONDITIONS TREATED
WE TREAT A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS WITH CUSTOM ORTHOTICS IN VANCOUVER INCLUDING:
Our pedorthists take the time to ensure our patients understand a custom orthotics role in treatment. In many cases, an orthotic may only be necessary during the treatment phase of an injury! Check out our short video here for more.
KNEE BRACING VANCOUVER
We know that finding the correct knee brace can be a difficult task. With so many options on the market combined with everyone’s unique characteristics (injury, activity level, compliance etc), it’s no wonder we see many people end up in more or less brace than they need. The goal of our one hour knee brace assessment is to ensure that we get our clients in the perfect brace. A perfect brace is the one that protects for the injury at hand (ligament instability, osteoarthritis, patellofemoral etc), matches the intended activity (soccer, waking, gardening, tennis, running), and is something that the client is actually going to wear (compliance). We see a lot of knee braces end up as ‘expensive closet decorators’ and want to ensure you love your new brace!

With a B.Sc and an MBA, Cassandra brings her business acumen and a layman’s perspective to balance out the clinic. Cassandra is laughingly known as the “Mr. Snuffleupagus” of SoleFit. Her spirit and influence are detected more often than her actual presence as she balances work and home life.

Daniel Haft C. Ped (C), BSc. Kin.
A Certified Pedorthist and Kinesiologist, Daniel brings his years of personal trainer experience to SoleFit. After many years working as a Kinesiologist in a physiotherapy clinic and as a personal trainer, Daniel decided he needed a break to reassess his career. After a few months off work to do some soul searching, Daniel came across the field of pedorthics and in particular the unique ‘outside the box’ way of doing things at SoleFit. For Daniel, this seemed like the perfect outlet to combine his previous passion for exercises and rehabilitation with the hands on work of fabricating orthotics in a lab.
Daniel has a competitive background in track and field and cycling. He currently enjoys tennis, Kung-Fu, camping, and a general love of being outdoors with his wife and 2 children. Daniel firmly believes in a holistic treatment approach and trying to find the source of the problem for a long-term solution.
