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.
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 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 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 orthotics would be beneficial to you, we use the data from your gait analysis to create a dynamic cast of each foot – no need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is sent to a team of technicians who custom manufacture a pair of orthotics specifically for your feet. A range of orthotic styles are available from standard sizes, to thicker orthotics for support during sports or lighter options to 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.
