Mr. MacKenzie is a Certified Pedorthist with several prior years experience as a physiotherapist.
As a Canadian Certified Pedorthist, he has specific training focused on correcting biomechanical
insufficiencies of the feet through custom made and off-the-shelf foot orthotics, custom made sandals, orthopedic shoes,
shoe fitting, shoe modification, and foot and ankle braces.
His past physiotherapy training and experience enables him to understand orthopedic assessment
and exercise and can optimize effectiveness of orthotics and orthopedic braces.

Thorough assessment is completed in standing, lying down, and while walking.
Assessment takes 45 minutes to one hour. Patient education is an essential focus.
Mr. MacKenzie has over fifteen years of experience working in orthopedics.
Detailed reports are sent to referrers and family physicians after assessment.
Orthotics are made from positive molds. Negative cast impressions of the actual feet are
completed and a positive mold created from the negative impression. The orthotic is made from the positive mold.
We do not use two dimensional force plate readings as the basis of our orthotic manufacturing. A true custom fit
is achieved from a physical negative impression and positive mold of the actual foot.
Biotech Orthotic Design is a versatile lab that enables construction of virtually all types of hard and soft-shelled orthotics.
It is a trusted Canadian lab run by a former president of the Pedorthic Association of Canada, experienced pedorthists and many other qualified staff.
Close proximity and working with
fellow professionals enables close communication, which is essential to translate assessments into appropriate orthotics.
