What are Orthotics?
Custom-made orthotics are designed to improve and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. They are individually crafted to fit the specific shape and size of the patient’s foot and are placed inside the shoe like an insole. Orthotics are effective in 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 various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can often cause discomfort and pain in the feet, as well as in the legs, hips, and back. Orthotics work by correcting the foot’s mechanics and can provide relief from pain, as well as improve mobility.
Orthotics are prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals, such as podiatrists or physiotherapists, after a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s feet and related symptoms. The healthcare professional will consider the individual’s medical history, lifestyle, and objectives when deciding on the best course of treatment. Orthotics can be crafted from a range of materials, including foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-made to fit the patient’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
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 orthotics to be beneficial for you, we employ the data from your gait analysis to generate a dynamic cast of each foot – no plaster or foam casting required. The dynamic cast is then sent to a team of technicians who manufacture a pair of orthotics bespoke to your feet. We offer an array of orthotic styles, 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 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.
