Episode 12 | Walking Strong with Orthotist Jenna Chow

In this episode of Behind the Clinic Doors, I’m joined by Jenna Chow, an orthotist from Canada, for a fascinating and insightful conversation about orthotics, patient care, and the realities of working in this field.

Jenna explains what an orthotist is, how she began her career, and the key differences between orthotics and prosthetics. We bust some common myths, discuss what Jenna most commonly sees in practice, and explore the underlying causes behind many foot and lower limb issues.

Jenna shares some powerful and changing stories from her patients, highlights when someone may benefit from orthotics, and explains how personalised assessment plays a vital role in long-term outcomes. Her passion for orthotics and her wealth of knowledge truly shine through, and she speaks openly about supporting those who are interested in pursuing a career in this field or who simply want to learn more.

There is so much more of Jenna’s expertise to explore, and this episode marks the beginning of future conversations where we will dive deeper into topics such as orthotic devices, footwear, and how feet change over time.
