Custom Orthotic Design Group Ltd. (CODG) opened our office in Guelph in 1996 with the goal of helping people to function at their personal best. We believe that when people have pain, weakness, or other challenges, and mobility is impaired, we are not able to fully participate in the activities that we love. Our purpose is to facilitate more efficient movement by reducing pain, by supporting or correcting areas of the body to help you participate in life the way that you want to, doing the things that you love.
Orthoses, orthotics, bracing and splinting may be an option for you; we can help you find the freedom to move – close to your home in Guelph.
Everyone has a personal best;
Let us help you find yours!
