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 be used to treat various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can often cause discomfort and pain in the feet, as well as in the legs, hips, and back. Orthotics work by correcting the foot’s mechanics and can provide relief from pain, as well as improve mobility.
A qualified healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or physiotherapist, prescribes orthotics after conducting a thorough assessment of the patient’s feet and related symptoms. The healthcare professional takes into account the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and objectives when determining the most suitable treatment plan. Orthotics can be made from various materials, such as foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-designed to fit the patient’s foot and specific condition.

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 most current technology to carry out a highly accurate scan of your movement. The Computerised Gait Scan gathers data on the timing, pressure, and other unique features of your gait, giving a detailed analysis that cannot be seen through observation alone. With this information, we can determine whether orthotics can aid in 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
Once you have your new orthotics our trained physios will guide you through the best use of them including an injury rehabilitation plan to help in your recovery. Treatments may also include hands on physiotherapy and at home exercises to complement your orthotics.
