What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are tailor-made medical devices that are created to enhance and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. These devices are uniquely shaped and sized to fit the foot of each individual and are inserted into the shoe like an insole. Orthotics are capable of remedying imbalances, strains, stresses, and pains in the feet, and they can also alleviate discomfort and pain 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 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 complete a highly accurate scan of the way you move. The Computerised Gait Scan collects information on the timing, pressure and other unique characteristics in the way you walk providing a detailed analysis that cannot be seen by observation alone. We then use this information to determine if orthotics can assist 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.
