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.
A range of conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions, can be effectively treated using orthotics. These conditions can result in discomfort and pain in the feet, as well as the legs, hips, and back. Orthotics work by correcting the mechanics of the feet, providing relief from pain, and enhancing 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
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
To conduct a highly precise scan of your movement, we use the most advanced technology available. The Computerised Gait Scan gathers information on the timing, pressure, and other unique characteristics of your gait, providing a detailed analysis that cannot be obtained through observation alone. Based on this information, we can determine whether orthotics can be helpful 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
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.
