Step Into Comfort: How Custom Orthotics and Sports Injury Physiotherapy in NW Calgary Can Relieve Your Foot Pain

Foot pain isn’t just uncomfortable — it can disrupt your entire day and prevent you from participating in the activities you love. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from a sports injury or someone struggling with chronic foot discomfort, custom orthotics and sports injury physiotherapy in NW Calgary offer lasting relief and help restore full mobility.
At Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage, we specialize in diagnosing the root cause of your pain and designing personalized treatment plans that include orthotic solutions, sports-specific rehabilitation, and long-term preventative strategies.

Understanding Foot Pain and Its Impact

Your feet are the foundation of your movement. When they hurt, the pain often radiates through your knees, hips, and lower back due to altered biomechanics and compensation. Ignoring foot pain can lead to chronic issues and reduced quality of life.

Common causes of foot pain include:

Plantar fasciitis – inflammation of the tissue connecting the heel to the toes
Flat feet or fallen arches – which create strain on tendons and ligaments
Heel spurs – bony growths causing sharp pain when standing or walking
Morton’s neuroma – nerve pain between the toes
Achilles tendinitis – overuse of the tendon at the back of the ankle
Sports-related overuse injuries – especially in runners, basketball players, and hikers

Additional contributing factors:
  • Wearing improper or unsupportive footwear
  • Walking or running on hard surfaces
  • Poor gait mechanics and muscle imbalances
Custom Orthotics: Designed for Your Feet, Your Lifestyle

Custom orthotics are not one-size-fits-all. They are individually crafted devices worn inside your shoes that correct biomechanical issues, relieve pain, and prevent injury recurrence. At Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage, we use advanced gait analysis and foot assessments
to create a precise solution based on your activity level and medical history.

Benefits of custom orthotics include:
  • Correcting foot alignment and arch support
  • Reducing foot fatigue and improving walking efficiency
  • Alleviating symptoms of plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel pain
  • Improving performance for athletes by enhancing balance and propulsion
  • Preventing recurring foot and ankle injuries

We ensure our orthotics are designed to fit a wide range of footwear — from athletic shoes and work boots to everyday casual or dress shoes — without compromising comfort or function.
