Standing-All-Day & Work Orthotics in Calgary
Standing for long hours at work can place significant stress on your feet, legs, and lower body. If you spend most of your day on your feet and experience foot fatigue, heel pain, or lower-body discomfort, custom work orthotics may help.
At Calgary Foot Orthotics, we provide custom standing-all-day and work orthotics in Calgary, designed using a biomechanical exam, gait analysis, and 3D digital foot scan.
Who Are Work Orthotics For?
Work orthotics may be beneficial if you:
- Stand for most or all of your workday
- Walk frequently on hard surfaces such as concrete or tile
- Wear safety boots, dress shoes, or work footwear for long hours
- Experience foot fatigue by the end of the day
- Have heel, arch, knee, hip, or lower back discomfort
Many occupations involve prolonged standing, including:
- Healthcare workers
- Retail and hospitality staff
- Trades and construction workers
- Teachers and educators
- Warehouse and industrial workers
How Standing-All-Day Orthotics May Help
Custom work orthotics are designed to support your feet throughout long periods of standing and walking.
They may help by:
- Supporting the arches to reduce foot fatigue
- Improving weight distribution on hard surfaces
- Reducing strain on the heels, knees, hips, and lower back
- Improving comfort inside work footwear
- Supporting posture during prolonged standing
Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet and your work demands.
Our Work Orthotics Assessment Process
Every work orthotics assessment includes:
- Review of your job duties and footwear
- Comprehensive foot history
- Biomechanical exam and gait analysis
- 3D digital foot scan
- Custom fabrication through a Canadian orthotics laboratory
- Fitting and guidance on how to gradually begin wearing your orthotics
Appointments typically take 30–45 minutes.
Who May Benefit From Standing-All-Day Orthotics?
Custom work orthotics may be appropriate if you:
- Experience foot pain or fatigue during or after work
- Have heel pain, arch pain, or forefoot discomfort
- Notice knee, hip, or lower back strain after standing
- Have flat feet, high arches, or foot imbalance
- Have not found relief with over-the-counter insoles
An assessment helps determine whether custom orthotics are appropriate for your work environment and footwear.
