Areas We Serve
What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-designed medical devices that are made to improve and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. These devices are custom-shaped and sized to fit the individual’s foot and are worn inside the shoe like an insole. Orthotics work by correcting imbalances, strains, stresses, and pains in the feet, and can also alleviate pain and discomfort in other areas of the body, such as the knees, hips, and back.
Orthotics can treat a variety of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can often cause pain and discomfort in the feet, legs, hips, and back. By correcting the mechanics of the feet, orthotics can alleviate pain and discomfort, 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 conduct a thorough examination of your feet, ankles, and gait to determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs. We will also collect information about your history, symptoms, circumstances, and any previous treatments you have undergone to determine the best approach for your particular needs.
- Computerised Gait Analysis
We use the latest technology to perform a highly precise scan of your movement. The Computerised Gait Scan collects information on the timing, pressure, and other unique characteristics of your gait, providing an in-depth analysis that is impossible to obtain through observation alone. Using this information, we can determine if orthotics can be beneficial to your treatment plan.
- Casting your Custom Orthotics
If we think orthotics would be helpful to you, we use the data from your gait analysis to generate a dynamic cast of each foot – no need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is then sent to a team of technicians who custom-create a pair of orthotics that are unique to your feet. We offer a variety of orthotic styles, including standard sizes, thicker orthotics for support during sports, and lighter options that can fit into dress shoes.
- Using your Orthotics
After receiving your new orthotics, our trained physios will instruct you on their optimal usage, including an injury rehabilitation plan to aid in your recovery. Treatments may also consist of hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises to complement your orthotics.
