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.
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.
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 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.
