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.
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.
Orthotics are prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or physiotherapist, after a thorough assessment of the patient’s feet and related symptoms. The healthcare professional will take into account the individual’s medical history, lifestyle, and goals when determining the best course of treatment. Orthotics can be made from a variety of materials, including foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-made to fit the individual’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
The most recent technology is employed to complete a highly accurate scan of your movement. The Computerised Gait Scan collects information on the timing, pressure, and other unique characteristics of your gait, providing a comprehensive analysis that cannot be obtained through observation alone. We use this information to determine whether orthotics can be useful 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 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.
