What are Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specifically designed to improve and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. These devices are custom-fit to the individual’s foot and are placed inside the shoe like an insole. Orthotics function by 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 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 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
Our trained physios will provide guidance on the best use of your new orthotics, including an injury rehabilitation plan to facilitate your recovery, after you have obtained them. Treatments may also include hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises to complement your orthotics.
