Customised Foot Orthotics

Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices specially designed to address foot injuries and disorders by providing pain relief and support. Before prescription, a podiatrist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your musculoskeletal needs, natural biomechanics, and lifestyle choices to determine if custom orthotics are a suitable solution for you.

They are one of the best non-invasive forms of conservative treatment to help with many foot, knee, hip, and back issues. In addition to helping you avoid surgery, such devices help create an even distribution of pressure, provide support and balance, and an appropriate level of shock absorption. This can help lessen the load of your movements and even realign the knees and hips to improve gait patterns in the long term.

Corns and calluses are a direct result of peak pressure points, orthotics can be designed to offload and redistribute the pressure therefore reducing the reoccurrence rate and the pain. 

Orthotics can be designed for all types and styles of shoes. The type of insole we make is dependant on the activity they will be worn for, for example orthotics can be made specifically for tennis shoes however this may not be suitable in your work shoes. A seperate isole can be made for all styles of shoes.

We can combine different materials and shapes to of insoles to fit in different styles of shoes. Carbon fibre insoles are lightweight and solid to provide maximum support with a minimalistic style shoe, 3/4 length insoles can be designed for shoes with limited toebox space. 

Orthotics can not be worn with high heels or with open sandals, however these style of shoes don't often require insoles as they are not designed to be worn for every day activities. 

Yes, as the orthotics are fully customised to your condition, activity level and footwear requirements, a full understanding of your foot posture, joint range of motion, muscle strength, previous injury, pain and gait is required. 

Orthotics may be required when there isn't an injury or pain. A perfect example could be for an athlete looking to enhance performance, someone who seeks comfort, stamina and agility. They can be useful in preventing conditions from worsening or arising, such as bunions.
