Sports Orthotics in Calgary
Sports place higher physical demands on the feet and lower body. Whether you’re a recreational athlete or train regularly, custom sports orthotics may help improve comfort, support, and movement efficiency during activity.
At Calgary Foot Orthotics, we provide custom sports orthotics in Calgary, designed using a biomechanical exam, gait analysis, and 3D digital foot scan.
What Are Sports Orthotics?
Sports orthotics are custom foot orthotics designed specifically for athletic and high-impact activities. Unlike everyday orthotics, they are tailored to:
- The type of sport or activity you participate in
- The footwear you use
- The forces placed on your feet during movement
They are fabricated based on your individual biomechanics—not a generic insole.
How Sports Orthotics May Help
Custom sports orthotics may help by:
- Improving foot alignment during activity
- Reducing excessive stress on joints and soft tissues
- Enhancing stability and shock absorption
- Improving comfort during training and competition
They are commonly used to help manage or reduce:
- Foot and heel pain
- Knee, hip, or lower back discomfort
- Overuse injuries
- Fatigue from repetitive impact
Who May Benefit From Sports Orthotics?
Sports orthotics may be appropriate if you:
- Participate in running, gym training, or fitness classes
- Play sports such as hockey, soccer, basketball, or court sports
- Spend long periods training or competing
- Experience pain during or after activity
- Want to support performance and reduce injury risk
An assessment helps determine whether custom sports orthotics are appropriate for your activity and footwear.

Every sports orthotics assessment includes:
