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.
Orthotics can be used to treat a variety of conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can often result in pain and discomfort in the feet, as well as the legs, hips, and back. By correcting the mechanics of the feet, orthotics can provide relief from pain and 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
A comprehensive analysis of your feet, ankles, and gait will be performed by your physiotherapist to determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs. Furthermore, we will gather information on your history, symptoms, circumstances, and any previous treatments you have undergone to determine the best approach for your individual 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 determine that orthotics would help you, we use the data from your gait analysis to produce a dynamic cast of each foot – eliminating the need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is then sent to a team of technicians who custom-manufacture a pair of orthotics precisely for your feet. A variety of orthotic styles are available, ranging from standard sizes to thicker orthotics for support during sports or lighter options that fit into dress shoes.
- Using your Orthotics
Once you have obtained your new orthotics, our trained physios will guide you on their best use, including an injury rehabilitation plan to assist in your recovery. Additionally, treatments may include hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises to complement your orthotics.
