Brace Program

At STRIDE® Orthotics & Pedorthic Center, our bracing program is led by John Olin, CO, a certified orthotist with over 30 years of experience in custom orthopedic bracing. Unlike many facilities that rely on off-the-shelf solutions, John designs and handcrafts each brace to meet the exact needs of the patient—using precision biomechanical examination, specialized casting, and patient-specific measurements.

What sets our brace program apart is not just the expertise—it’s the commitment to collaboration. John works closely with your referring physician, orthopedic specialist, and physical therapist to ensure that each brace supports your broader medical and rehabilitation goals. In many cases, he will meet patients on-site at physician offices or physical therapy clinics, ensuring clear communication and continuity of care across your team.

This high-touch, personalized approach allows us to deliver custom lower extremity bracing solutions that not only fit well but help restore comfort, stability, and movement. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a neurological condition, or seeking long-term support for joint instability, we’re here as part of your care team—dedicated to your best outcome.

Customer Reviews

"I have worked with Stride now for nearly 20 years, after doing my due diligence and investigating other labs. I was impressed from the beginning with their video gait analysis. I take a short clip of my patient walking on the treadmill with my digital camera and send that in with my casts. I like the idea of a second pair of expert eyes with me during my evaluation to catch subtle nuances that I may miss. I rarely, if ever, have to return the orthotic for modifications. It is perfect nearly every time."
