Products · East York & Scarborough
Custom orthotics, Bauerfeind bracing, and medical compression socks, assessed and fit by a physiotherapist or chiropractor at PRT East York and Scarborough. Every product is prescribed after a clinical assessment. Covered by most extended health plans in Ontario.
Most Ontario plans do not roll over unused amounts. If you have bracing, compression, or orthotic coverage remaining this year, book before December 31 and we'll help you use it.
Bauerfeind · Germany
Bauerfeind knitted medical braces relieve joint pain by reducing swelling, adding stability, and letting you keep moving. Prescribed for post-op rehab, sports injuries, arthritis flare-ups, and joints that need support during load. Available at PRT East York and Scarborough.
Your physiotherapist or chiropractor assesses the joint, picks the right Bauerfeind model, and sizes you on the spot. Common prescriptions include GenuTrain knee braces, MalleoTrain ankle supports, LumboTrain back braces, and EpiTrain elbow sleeves. Covered by most extended health plans in Ontario.
Bauerfeind & Sigvaris
Medical-grade compression socks and calf sleeves apply graduated pressure to the leg, supporting the venous and lymphatic systems. Prescribed for runners, post-surgical recovery, varicose veins, pregnancy-related swelling, long-haul flights, and people on their feet all day.
We can order from both Bauerfeind and Sigvaris, the two most established medical compression brands. Your practitioner picks the model based on your needs and sizes to the leg, not to the shoe. Covered by most extended health plans in Ontario with a prescription.
The Orthotic Group · Canada
Custom foot orthotics correct individual biomechanical foot issues like plantar fasciitis, bunions, Morton's neuroma, overpronation, flat feet, high arches, shin splints, and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Each pair is manufactured in Canada on your 3D scan or foot-impression cast.
Custom orthotics are ordered and dispensed by a PRT chiropractor. Your appointment starts with a full gait analysis and lower-limb assessment. If custom orthotics are the right call, we take the foam-box cast or 3D scan in the same session. Your finished orthotics arrive at the clinic in 2 to 3 weeks for a fitting appointment. Covered by most extended health plans in Ontario with a current physician (MD) script.
How It Works
45-min 1-on-1 with your physio or chiro at PRT East York or Scarborough. Bring the shoes or the brace you already have if you have one.
Your practitioner picks the right Bauerfeind model and sizes on the spot, or takes the 3D scan or cast for orthotics. A deposit is taken at the ordering appointment.
Bracing is usually in-stock or ordered within a few days. Custom orthotics take 2 to 3 weeks from scan to fitting.
We fit you in the clinic and the balance is due on delivery. We check the wear pattern at your next appointment and adjust if needed.
Products are pay-in-full, not direct billed. A deposit is due the day of ordering and the balance is due when the product is delivered. You take home a paid receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Coverage typically ranges from $150 to $500 per year for orthotics, with similar allowances for bracing and medical compression. Most plans require a physician script dated within the past year for orthotics and compression garments.
FAQ
For bracing and compression, book an assessment with either a physiotherapist or chiropractor at East York or Scarborough. For custom orthotics, book with a chiropractor specifically (orthotics are ordered and dispensed by chiro only, though any practitioner can flag the need at an earlier visit). Measurements, casting, or scans happen in the same session.
All three are covered by most extended health plans in Canada. Coverage varies by plan and by product. Compression garments and custom orthotics typically require a physician script dated within the past year. You'll pay in full at PRT and take home a paid receipt to submit to your insurer for reimbursement (see the payment question below).
A deposit is required the day you order, and the balance is due when the product is delivered. Products at PRT are pay-in-full, not direct billed. We provide a paid receipt so you can submit it to your extended health plan for reimbursement.
For the assessment itself, no. To get compression or custom orthotics reimbursed by insurance, most plans do require a current physician script. Ask your family doctor, or ask us and we'll help you route it.
Most plans reset January 1. Some employer plans run on a policy year that ends mid-year. Check your booklet or ask your HR contact. If you have unused orthotic, brace, or compression coverage this plan year, use it before it resets. Most plans do not roll over unused amounts.
Custom orthotics at PRT sit in the standard Toronto clinical range. Most extended health plans reimburse between $150 and $500 per year toward orthotics, and many patients pay little or nothing out of pocket once insurance is applied. Call East York at (416) 288-0875 or Scarborough at (416) 439-1001 for a current quote.
No. Bracing, compression, and custom orthotics are pay-in-full at PRT. A deposit is due day-of-ordering and the balance is due on delivery. You'll receive a paid receipt to submit to your extended health plan for reimbursement. Note: this is separate from our clinical services (physiotherapy, chiropractic, RMT), which we do direct bill for most major insurers.
Bauerfeind is a German medical bracing brand used across pro sport and post-op rehab. Their knitted construction stays put, breathes, and holds up to real training load. It is not the cheapest option in the category. It is the one that keeps working after the first month.
The Orthotic Group has been the manufacturing partner for clinics like ours for over 40 years. Every pair is built to your scan or cast, in Canada, and delivered to the clinic for fitting. Quality control we've stood behind for years.
Roughly 2 to 3 weeks from the scan to your fitting appointment. Rush turnaround is available for an added fee if you have a race or an event coming.
Either. Bracing and custom orthotics are available at PRT East York (1400 O'Connor Drive) and PRT Scarborough (2100 Ellesmere Road). Book with whichever is closer.
Bring it in. Sometimes the fit is off, sometimes the wrong product was prescribed, and sometimes it just needs to be paired with the right loading plan. Your practitioner will assess and tell you honestly.
