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 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 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
Your physiotherapist will perform a comprehensive analysis of your feet, ankles and the way you walk to determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs. We will also gather information on your history, symptoms, circumstances and any treatments you have tried previously to determine the best approach for your specific needs.
- Computerised Gait Analysis
We use the latest technology to perform a highly precise scan of your movement. The Computerised Gait Scan collects information on the timing, pressure, and other unique characteristics of your gait, providing an in-depth analysis that is impossible to obtain through observation alone. Using this information, we can determine if orthotics can be beneficial to 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
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.
