Orthotics are custom-made orthopaedic devices that fit comfortably inside your shoes. They are made to correct various biomechanical problems in the feet by realigning and stabilising the bones. They allow your feet, legs, hips, pelvis and low back to function more efficiently to reduce strain and pain from many different structures.
Apart from gaining university qualification as an Exercise Scientist and Physiotherapist, and later as a Pilates Instructor, Phil has undergone extensive post-graduate training with the Australian Institiute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy (O.M.T).

I attended Fit For Life after total hip replacement surgery and worked with Natalie Lehto who was just super in helping me to map out a realistic recovery plan. I chose her for her extensive knowledge in pelvic anatomy. She has a lovely, calm and caring way about her and everything worked out well. Most appreciative for all she did for me.

I love what the Fit For Life Physiotherapy is doing. During the pandemic, they have been offering online webinars with topics ranging from gardening to exercising to discussions on pelvic floor. A topic I had no idea about. I find all the workshops were very informative, in addition to some being interactive as well. If their offices were located in the City of Toronto or at lease closer to Toronto, I would definitely use their service. Thank you for all you're doing!! Tammy

I highly recommend Miriam at Fit For Life Physiotherapy. I’ve had neck issues and headaches for many years and finally decided to try them. Miriam takes the time to explain how she plans to work on my neck and why. In addition, she asks for feedback which I appreciate and gives me at home exercises to work on.
Receptionists will make you feel welcome and the atmosphere at Fit For Life is professional. Give them a try, you will be happy.

I have been a client at Fit for Life for about 10 years, and I can give excellent feedback for multiple services. Everyone is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Many of my family have had treatments at Fit for Life for massage, osteo, physio, and others. I would strongly recommend, and wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else.
