Our services in Ottawa

Custom Orthotics

Our orthotics are crafted on-site, by hand, and customised to your unique biomechanics. Using plaster casting in a neutral position, we create orthotics from raw materials to address a range of conditions such as:

  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Bunions, metatarsalgia, and more
  • Knee pain and back pain
  • Hip pain and sesamoiditis

We take the time to ensure you understand how custom orthotics play a role in treatment and when they may be only a temporary solution during recovery.

Knee Bracing

Finding the right knee brace can be challenging. Our one-hour knee brace assessment matches you with the ideal brace for your specific condition, from osteoarthritis to ligament strains, ensuring fit, function, and comfort.

Gait Analysis

Movement analysis is a powerful tool in identifying the sources of pain. Our video gait analysis provides insight into your walking or running pattern, helping us tailor treatments and guide you toward improved movement.

Cassandra Grant - B. Sc., M.B.A.

Cassandra was on a career path in the pharmaceutical industry before a lifelong dream of working with her brother—and a desire to live in Ottawa—led her to change course and co-open SoleFit.

Almost 20 years in, she still feels immense pride and joy in co-owning her own business and helping to make a difference in the community. Cassandra is the jack-of-all-trades at the clinic—often found at the front desk interacting with patients, working in the lab, overseeing inventory supplies, and managing the finances.

Cassandra is a proud mom of two awesome kids and feels very fortunate to be able to balance work and home life.
