How Do Orthotics Help?

  • Custom orthotics (specially designed for your feet) can significantly relieve foot and leg pain by realigning and stabilising the bones and muscles of your feet and help restore your natural walking pattern.

  • Gait Scan is a sophisticated software and hardware which analyses your foot function, as you walk across a special sensor platform.

  • This gives us a detailed image of foot function and gait which the eye can’t see.

  • Once the problem is understood your Physiotherapist can take action or prescribe orthotics to eliminate your pain.
