ABOUT US

OUR COMPANY AND HISTORY

On the Ball Orthotics was created by Julia Hayman in 2018. Our goal is to alleviate pain caused from improper mechanics of the foot. We understand how lower limb pain can disrupt daily life and we aim to find the best possible solution to the problem. With an on-site lab, the treatment process can be controlled from start to finish.

Adjustments are made on site and most times are completed during the appointment.

We have footcare nurses, to help with trimming toenails and dealing with calluses. This can be done in the clinic or at home.

Massage therapy is available with a Registered Massage Therapist.

Acupuncture is available with a Registered Acupuncturist.

For custom foot orthotics, we now have a satellite location in the north end at Good Wellness! Visit their website if you would like to book an appointment!

Julia is really professional and friendly, she spent about half an hour to find out what issue was and explain everything to me about the issue and gave me some options for the treatment. She did not charge me for the visit because she did not do the treatment which was really nice of her.

I went to see Julia when I realized my foot pain was on the verge of impacting my choices about exercise. Julia and her team were professional, considerate and educational. The turn around time was remarkably fast! Would definitely recommend them to anyone.

I thought orthotics was for older people and they were always ugly. Wrong and wrong. Julia found me a beautiful pair of orthotic boots and sent it through insurance so they were fully paid for directly. On top of that, I discovered my right foot is a half size smaller than my left foot. Who knew? She adjusted the one shoe on the spot when Ali picked the boots up. She’s got a cool lab in the back where she does her magic.

When you need something done, you go to the people that know what they’re doing. Julia is a true professional in her field, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of custom orthotics, custom shoes, etc. If you’re experiencing back or foot pain, add On The Ball Orthotics to your list on places that you must visit.
