At Fencer's Orthotics, we combine a deep passion for fencing with a profound commitment to athlete health. Founded by Dr. Derek Plonka, a distinguished Sports Certified Specialist in physical therapy and an avid Sabre fencer, our mission is to address common injuries that fencers face due to inadequate footwear support. Dr. Plonka’s firsthand experience on the piste and his extensive expertise in physical therapy led him to identify a significant challenge in the sport—the lack of proper footwear that accommodates the inherent asymmetry of fencing footwork.

With a deep understanding of the unique demands of each fencing discipline—foil, epee, and sabre—Dr. Plonka has developed specialized orthotics tailored specifically for each style. These orthotics are engineered to enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury by providing crucial support where fencers need it most. Whether you are executing a lunge, retreating, or engaging in rapid directional changes, our orthotics deliver the precision and comfort necessary to excel in your sport.

Step onto the piste with confidence with Fencer's Orthotics, where innovation meets tradition in the pursuit of excellence and safety in fencing.
