Running problems involve foot posture, hip strength and training load together, and several regulated professions in this building can assess those within a single visit rather than three separate ones. Assessment decides what is relevant.
Custom Orthotics in Aurora for Runners
Custom foot orthotics are cast in Aurora for runners who have been told a device might help but want the reasoning first. Gait is watched rather than described. Weekly mileage is discussed openly. Longer slots suit the drive south.

Who We Are
Aurora GO Station, Yonge at Wellington and the Route South
Aurora runners take Highway 404 south from the GO Station and Wellington area, then travel east along Highway 7 to the clinic at McCowan Road.
Plenty of running complaints resolve with a shoe change, a slower mileage build or some hip strengthening, and none of those need a cast device. Assessment exists to work out which category you fall into, because prescribing an orthotic for a problem caused by adding twenty kilometres in a fortnight solves nothing at all. Weekly mileage history is written down. Shoe wear pattern is examined closely. Running gait is watched on the spot. Sometimes the answer is no device.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“The cheapest fix is sometimes a different pair of shoes.”
Runners arrive expecting to be sold something and are often surprised to be told their trainers are eleven months old and that alone explains the ache. Working through the cheaper explanations first is simply the sensible order to do things in. A device follows only if it is warranted.
What We Offer
Orthotics and Running Care for Aurora Patients
Chiropractic Care
Pelvic and low back restriction changes running mechanics, and chiropractic treatment can address what testing identifies there. Findings are explained plainly. Techniques suit runners.
Physiotherapy
Hip and calf strength influence running mechanics more than foot posture does, and physiotherapy builds both systematically. Both sides are measured. Mileage plans are set alongside.
Registered Massage Therapy
Calf and hamstring tightness accumulates across a training block, and massage therapy can ease that between sessions. Timing suits recovery days. Pressure matches you. Both legs are covered.
Acupuncture
Persistent foot pain that outlasts shoe and support changes sometimes eases when acupuncture is added. Points follow the assessment. Reasoning is explained. Consent is taken each visit.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Heel or tendon pain can be treated with Class IV laser therapy while a device is being manufactured. Sessions run a few minutes. Nothing invasive is involved. Running continues meanwhile.
Custom Orthotics
Where assessment supports one, custom orthotics are cast from your feet and built for the running shoes you train in. Shoes are fitted at casting. Mileage shapes the materials. Wear is checked later.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Building mileage without another flare takes structure, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist supplies it. Both legs are compared. Volume rises on recorded evidence.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Runners noticing leakage on longer efforts can arrange pelvic floor therapy with a pelvic-health physiotherapist. A private treatment room is used. Assessment stays discreet. Consent guides each step.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Running families sometimes add pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic, gentle low-force care for musculoskeletal comfort. Pregnancy foot change is common. Children are treated gently.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four-step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Step 2
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Step 3
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Step 4
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
Why Aurora Runners Get Assessed First
Runners are assessed before anything is cast, since shoe age and mileage explain a good share of complaints without any device involved. Running gait is watched directly. Mileage history is recorded. Longer slots suit the drive south. Parking is free.
Shoe reviewed before casting
Bring the trainers you run in. Age, mileage and wear pattern often explain the symptom before any assessment of the foot itself begins.
Running gait watched, not described
How you move is observed rather than taken from your description, because runners are famously unreliable narrators of their own mechanics.
Mileage discussed openly
Weekly distance, recent increases and surface changes are all counted, since load errors cause more running injuries than foot shape does.
Longer slots for the drive south
Appointments can be extended for patients coming down Highway 404, so one trip covers assessment, casting and any other care needed. Visits can be combined.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.
Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
Would a different running shoe solve this?
Frequently yes, and shoe age is the first thing checked before any device is considered.Midsoles compress long before the outsole looks worn. Patients from Oak Ridges often need only a new pair and a slower mileage build. Mileage on the shoe is asked about. Rotation between pairs helps.
Do orthotics slow a runner down?
Any added weight is small, and most runners notice comfort long before they notice pace.Poorly matched devices can feel intrusive though. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre builds for the shoe and the distance rather than applying a general prescription. Racing shoes are discussed separately.
How is running gait assessed here?
Walking and running are both observed, alongside single-leg control, hip strength and the wear pattern on your shoes.Video is used where it helps. Patients from Jefferson often find the shoe wear findings the most useful part. Everything seen is explained to you. Single-leg control is timed.
Should devices be worn for every run?
Most runners use them for the majority of mileage while keeping some sessions without, particularly short easy runs.All-or-nothing is rarely necessary. To discuss what suits your training week, contact us before booking. Wear is built up gradually. Easy runs can go without them.
Can hip and back pain relate to foot strike?
Foot position influences leg rotation, so it can contribute to hip and back symptoms, though hip strength usually matters more.Both get assessed. Adding chiropractic care addresses the spinal side of the same picture. Neither is treated in isolation. Hip strength is always measured.
What is the drive south on Highway 404?
How do devices hold up over high mileage?
Shells generally last several years while surface covers wear faster under high weekly mileage.Covers can usually be replaced without remaking the device. Wear is checked at reviews so replacement gets planned rather than arriving as a surprise mid-season. Insurer intervals are worth knowing.
Is a stability shoe the same as support?
Stability shoes apply general correction built for an average foot, while a cast device is shaped to yours specifically.Many runners do well in stability shoes alone. Where symptoms persist despite a suitable pair, casting becomes the reasonable next step. A shoe trial is never wasted.
