Why Should You Use Orthotics?
Quite simply - Orthotics 'unflatten' an otherwise harsh and continuously flat unnatural surface we find ourselves moving on most of the time.
There is an ideal time, place and environment to use your orthotics, we will develop a detailed plan so that you load efficiently in the long run. We aim to prescribe orthotics to guide and stimulate your feet without restricting ideal natural movement. This allows for feet to do their thing from children's feet to the elderly. When prescribed effectively, they are a powerful tool in helping you move and get on with your best life!
​
They require an experienced podiatrist to prescribe with an accompanying treatment plan. We provide you with unlimited support once you are issued with them to ensure we achieve the best outcomes possible.
They can also be used to help with the following:
​
-
Offload painful areas in the feet and alleviate pain
​
-
Guide and support children's developing feet
​
-
They can be very effective in treating heel pain and plantar fasciitis
​
-
Provide the right amount of guidance support without restricting natural movement (we don't use rigid devices!).
​
-
Disperse ground reaction forces more evenly to reduce unnecessary stresses from the foot and into the hips, knees and lower back.
​
-
Improve sensory / neural feedback through increased contact with the contours of your feet.
​
-
Accommodate pressure areas in high risk patients with neurovascular concerns
