Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

Asad Khan obtained his licence as a Certified Pedorthist from the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics.  As part of his practical experience, Asad logged over 3000 clinical hours with renowned Chiropodist, Dr. Deborah Dunphy spanning over 3 years.

As a Pedorthist, Asad’s area of expertise include correcting various lower limb dysfunctions through bracing, compression therapy, custom orthotics, and custom fitted shoes.

Asad’s expertise includes providing an extensive foot assessment using state of the art technology (currently only used by selected institutions across Canada) to obtain insight into the patient’s pathology.  The initial assessment, designed to go beyond a traditional “step into the box”, would typically include the following:

• Traditional clinical diagnosis to understand the entire physiological condition of the patient
• Digital Video Gait Analysis – dynamically captures gait patterns
• Presto Scan – analyzes pressure, balance and foot types in movement and in stationary stance
• 3D Laser Scanning – includes a comprehensive scan of your foot to truly create “custom” orthotics

Asad’s goal has always been to get to the root of the problem to get you moving freely and towards a healthier and balanced lifestyle.
