Founded in 1976, our mission to relieve and prevent foot,
ankle, knee and back pain thus has lead to the development of a wide
range of effective quality foot care products that are available around
the world. Our founders hold several US and Canadian patents, trademarks
and copyrights, and have vast industry experience and expertise.
We are constantly developing new products to add to our line, and new
ways to provide the most effective orthotics in the marketplace. We not
only use state of the art technology to produce our orthotics – we
develop it too. Our research and design department is continuously
developing and approving products that meet and/or exceed the standards
set by the professional medical community.
All product prototypes are first subject to a rigorous testing
schedule, which includes procedures that monitor durability, comfort and
effectiveness.
