Orthotics

Custom designed to align your feet

How Do We Help?

A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are bio-mechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT

Through a comprehensive functional and orthopaedic assessment, we gather a complete picture of ALL of the involved structures and barriers to your recovery.

ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS

Your pain may be similar to that of someone else, but each individual case is unique. Rehabilitation begins with an accurate diagnosis of the presenting injury pain/problem.

PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLAN

From there we utilize a multi-pronged approach to address all contributing components for a fast recovery and complete recovery, while also lowering and the risk of re-occurrence.

Initial Visit / Assessment

A complete assessment will take place looking at your chief complaint as well as overall body functioning to distinguish and diagnose the source of the problem.

This generally takes an hour and a half and involves a comprehensive history, various movement screens and orthopaedic and functional tests to diagnose and propose a plan of management for treatment. This will also include an initial treatment.

Treatment Session

A 60 minute session involving various modalities to address and care for the condition diagnosed. This can include any or all of Electro-acupuncture, myofascial release, chiropractic adjustment, movement therapies, neuromuscular development and strengthening.

Who We've Helped

Being a member of Team Canada since 2009, I have been lucky to have been exposed to many great physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and doctors. But non quite like Dr. Z. I first met him and dared him to see what he can do. Within 10 minutes of treatment I had reduced pain, increased range of motion and improved strength. That’s why when I recently tore my ACL and underwent knee surgery, he was who I sought to get care from. Many times I thought I won’t be able to return to gymnastics, but I constantly left our treatments being encouraged emotionally, stronger physically and further along than anticipated or expected. What I love most about Mahmoud is his committed to excellence and making patients like me feel better, mentally and physically. His knowledge and drive makes him one of the best sports rehab specialists I have had the privilege of working with, and someone I would call a friend!

With the wisdom and expertise of Dr. Mahmoud, I have been able to train and compete in elite gymnastics in a physically healthier state. I have been a patient of Dr. Mahmoud's for over a year now, and I have seen tremendous improvements with the functioning of my surgically repaired shoulder and ankle, as well as my recovery time. His passion for athletics and his promotion of wellness are evident in every appointment I have with him. His unique connection to athletes throughout treatment is an integral part of the healing process and the athletes’ overall well being. I am very happy to be a part of his innovative and creative techniques!

I am not usually the one who writes a lot of testimonials but decided that if just one person reads this and gives Mahmoud a try, then I have done my good deed for the day. I have battled a bad shoulder and lower back for years and was convinced that it was something I would just have to live with. My family doctor prescribed anti-inflammatories and physio, but at best it maybe gave me some temporary relief. After a handful of Mahmoud’s treatments and an exercise program to follow, the improvement has been as surprising as it is welcomed. I am not an expert on what he does but I can see that he really knows his stuff and all the latest treatments related to his field. I am lucky to have found a good one to allow me to do the things I love!
