What does the clinical assessment include?
The assessment looks at static and dynamic posture while standing and walking, and examines the lower limbs: feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis and spinal alignment. The findings help identify factors that may be linked to discomfort or difficulty walking and whether custom orthotics may be suitable.
How may orthotics help?
Custom orthotics are medical devices made for the individual. For some difficulties related to posture, walking or running, they may support movement and pressure distribution, and may help prevent, reduce or correct problems affecting the foot, ankle, knee, hip or back. Suitability and goals are assessed individually.
Foot impressions and making the orthotics
An individual foot impression is taken. The orthotics are then heated and moulded to match the shape of the feet, with the intended action in three planes of movement.
Workshop production, checking and fitting
The orthotics are made in our workshop, then checked and adjusted inside your shoes with you present. They can be adapted for everyday, work or sports footwear according to your needs. Please bring the shoes you usually wear and any available imaging or medical records.
