A Step Forward is a premier Orthotic and Prosthetic company opened in May, 2006 by Megan McCarthy CO, LO.  Megan has worked in Portland, Oregon since arriving from Toronto, Canada in 1996.  She has over 18 years experience in pediatric orthotics and scoliosis bracing (including the Boston Brace system and the Providence Brace system). She is proficient at addressing foot alignment issues with unique foot orthotic designs and has provided lower extremity neuromuscular bracing of all types.  She prides herself on working within a multidisciplinary team to determine the best possible treatment options available.  She specializes in custom work and makes almost all of the devices on-site.  This allows for faster turn-around times and easier adjustments.

Our office is centrally located in Hillsdale in SW Portland.  We are just off Capitol Hwy very close to OHSU hospital. Our address is 1509 SW Sunset Blvd. Suite 1G,  Portland, OR 97239.
