Areas We Serve
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.
Orthotics can treat a variety of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions. These conditions can often cause pain and discomfort in the feet, legs, hips, and back. By correcting the mechanics of the feet, orthotics can alleviate pain and discomfort, as well as 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
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 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
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.
