Take-home materials include pamphlets on HOW TO BUY SHOES and PLANTAR FASCIITIS.

Biography

Tim started out as a patient wearing orthotics way back in 1979. His feet supported him as a volunteer Fire Fighter and Underground Miner in Northern Manitoba before he moved to Winnipeg in 1994 where he began working at an orthopaedic shoe store and a Security Officer. In 2003 Tim became a Certified Pedorthist and wound up moving to Edmonton to work at Custom Orthopedic Ltd. For over two decades now in the downtown area, Tim has been practicing the company motto of "Keepin’ you on your feet" with Foot Orthoses, Compression Hosiery Therapy, Orthopedic Modifications and Education Seminars. One of Tim’s specialties (and passions) is teaching people about their feet, including HOW to be picky about your orthotic and footwear choices. When Tim isn’t in the clinic, you will most likely find him somewhere in Edmonton singing Karaoke -- and wearing his orthotics!
