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.
A podiatrist or physiotherapist, a qualified healthcare professional, prescribes orthotics after a thorough examination of the patient’s feet and related symptoms. The healthcare professional considers the patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and objectives when deciding on the best course of treatment. Orthotics can be crafted from different materials, such as foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-tailored to fit the individual’s foot and specific condition.
What can Orthotics help with?
Our Process
- Examination and Gait Assessment
Your feet, ankles, and gait will be thoroughly evaluated by your physiotherapist to determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs. Additionally, we will gather information on your history, symptoms, circumstances, and previous treatments you have undergone to determine the best approach for your specific 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 believe that orthotics could be useful for you, we leverage the data from your gait analysis to create a dynamic cast of each foot – eliminating the need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is then forwarded to a team of technicians who produce a pair of orthotics specifically for your feet. We provide an assortment of orthotic styles, from standard sizes to thicker orthotics for support during sports or lighter options that can fit into dress shoes.
- Using your Orthotics
After receiving your new orthotics, our trained physios will guide you on their optimal usage, including an injury rehabilitation plan to help in your recovery. In addition, treatments may involve hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises that complement your orthotics.
