Our Story

Faster turnarounds. Consistent quality. Smarter, more scalable workflows. In today’s clinical landscape, podiatrists and allied health professionals need orthotic solutions that not only keep pace with patient demand but also uphold the highest standards of quality and care. Whether managing everyday biomechanical concerns or more complex cases, clinicians need responsive, evidence-led solutions that deliver real results for patients.

At Performance Labs powered by iOrthotics, we believe the best orthotic solutions come from those who understand patient care firsthand. That’s why our partnership brings together decades of hands-on clinical experience with the precision and efficiency of a modern, digitally optimized orthotics lab. Our mission is simple: to deliver reliable, high-quality orthoses that empower clinicians and improve patient outcomes—without delays, inconsistencies, or complexity.

 

From the Back Room of a Podiatry Clinic in Outback Australia to Practices Across the U.S.

The iOrthotics story began in 2009 in a regional Queensland podiatry clinic, where patients—especially in rural areas—faced long waits for orthotics due to delays and lab inconsistencies. Refusing to accept the status quo, two local podiatrists built an in-house solution focused on clinical standards and patient timelines.

What started in one clinic has since grown across Australia and into international markets—driven by clinician-led innovation, reliability, and a commitment to clinical excellence.

 

A Trusted U.S. Lab, Reinvented for Today’s Clinicians

Fast forward to 2023, when Performance Labs—an orthotics manufacturer serving U.S. clinicians since 1984—joined forces with iOrthotics. Based in New Jersey, Performance Labs was already known for its high standards and long-standing client relationships. The opportunity to modernize operations and expand offerings through this partnership made perfect sense.

Now operating as Performance Labs powered by iOrthotics, we’ve combined the best of both worlds: the trusted service and relationships of a U.S.-based lab with the streamlined, clinician-informed workflows of a global leader in orthotic innovation. Together, we now partner with over 1,000 clinics worldwide.

 

Why Clinician Insight Matters

We understand the pace and pressure of clinical practice—because we’ve been there. Our leadership team includes practicing podiatrists, experienced orthotists, and health professionals who know what it’s like to manage complex caseloads, patient expectations, and time constraints. This real-world insight has shaped the systems, tools, and orthotic devices we build to support the realities of clinical life. More importantly, the orthoses we produce are tested in real-world settings and backed by a performance fit guarantee. When you prescribe with us, you’re supported at every step—from submission to patient fitting.

Our practice portal has been custom built and refined over 10 years with real clinician input to streamline reporting, simplify orders, and save time. It continues to evolve with user feedback, supported by our in-house development team.

 

Orthotics That Work as Hard as You Do

We offer a full range of custom foot orthotics and AFOs made from high-performance materials like polypropylene and PA11—both known for their durability, heat-mouldability, and clinical adjustability. Whether your patients need support for diabetic foot care, biomechanical corrections, or recovery from surgery or injury, our range is designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s podiatric practice.

American Made Quality

Today, all orthotics are proudly manufactured in our long-standing New Jersey facility and our iOrthotics USA facility in Long Island, New York. Here, we uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship, consistency, and clinical excellence, ensuring every product meets our rigorous quality expectations.
