Welcome to Melissa Bendo Orthotics Inc.

I would like to personally welcome you to my website and I would also like to thank you for taking the time to read through some of the content I have posted here. As you read about my products and services as well as some of the experiences I have had as a certified pedorthist, I am sure you will be confident in how I conduct myself as a clinician.

As a certified pedorthist, under our scope of practice we are trained to assess, design, fabricate and fit a pair of custom orthotics as well as recommend the proper footwear to accommodate your lifestyle. For the past 5 years I have been providing my clients with this service. Now for 2012, I have decided to expand my services and join the Ontario Kinesiology Association (OKA). Even though I graduated with a Kinesiology degree back in 2005, I put more focus on developing myself as a confident certified pedorthist. Now, a member of OKA, I am able  to cast and fit custom knee bracing,  pre-fabricated knee braces as well as prescribe stretches and strengthening exercises. This expansion has allowed me the opportunity to provide a more thorough and complete treatment plan for people who need more then just custom made foot orthotics.

 

Also for 2012, I will be developing stretching and strengthening exercises for your lower limb condition as well as adding a research section. I am hoping to review current and popular research that is now being conducted on the feet and lower limbs and post the findings up on my website soon.

Please enjoy my content and feel free to comment on any blog you feel is interesting!

Yours in Service,

Melissa Bendo
