What are Orthotics?
Custom-made orthotics are designed to improve and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. They are individually crafted to fit the specific shape and size of the patient’s foot and are placed inside the shoe like an insole. Orthotics are effective in correcting imbalances, strains, stresses and pains in the feet, as well as providing relief from discomfort in other parts of the body, such as the knees, hips and back.
The use of orthotics can effectively treat several conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can lead to discomfort and pain in the feet, legs, hips, and back. Orthotics work by correcting the foot’s mechanics and can alleviate pain, as well as improve mobility.
After a detailed evaluation of the patient’s feet and related symptoms, qualified healthcare professionals, such as podiatrists or physiotherapists, prescribe orthotics. The healthcare professional takes into account the individual’s medical history, lifestyle, and goals when determining the optimal treatment plan. Orthotics can be made from several materials, including foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-fitted to the patient’s foot and specific condition.
What can Orthotics help with?
Our Process
- Examination and Gait Assessment
Your physiotherapist will perform a comprehensive analysis of your feet, ankles and the way you walk to determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs. We will also gather information on your history, symptoms, circumstances and any treatments you have tried previously to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
- Computerised Gait Analysis
We use the latest technology to complete a highly accurate scan of the way you move. The Computerised Gait Scan collects information on the timing, pressure and other unique characteristics in the way you walk providing a detailed analysis that cannot be seen by observation alone. We then use this information to determine if orthotics can assist in your treatment plan.
- Casting your Custom Orthotics
If we believe orthotics would be beneficial to you, we use the data from your gait analysis to create a dynamic cast of each foot – no need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is sent to a team of technicians who custom manufacture a pair of orthotics specifically for your feet. A range of orthotic styles are available from standard sizes, to thicker orthotics for support during sports or lighter options to fit into dress shoes.
- Using your Orthotics
After receiving your new orthotics, our trained physios will guide you on their optimal usage, including an injury rehabilitation plan to help in your recovery. In addition, treatments may involve hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises that complement your orthotics.
