What makes Foot Dynamics different from other labs is our unique A.C.T.™ weight bearing impression system which creates an extremely accurate and reproducible model of the foot.

Every pair of Foot Dynamics footbeds and orthotics are individually hand crafted using the highest quality materials and built to exact specifications. Foot Dynamics footbeds and orthotics are designed to provide the required biomechanical control while assuring the ultimate in comfort and durability. Most of our footbeds and orthotics are semi-rigid, multi-laminate designs incorporating at least 4 layers of material. Each pair is fully guaranteed for durability, comfort and effectiveness.

Foot Dynamics history goes back over sixteen years. Formerly know as Peterson Laboratories and Ascent Technologies, the company pioneered the concept of weightbearing impression casting techniques. Originally starting out in the ski industry, the company recognized that their impression method for creating custom footbeds for ski boots actually had great benefits for other orthotic applications. Over the past eight years, Foot Dynamics has refined the impression technique with the introduction of the A.C.T.™ impression pillow and now services numerous sports medicine clinics, physical therapy facilities and industrial accounts.
