Orthotic therapy is a form of podiatry treatment that uses specially designed devices that are worn inside the shoe to control abnormal foot function and improve lower limb alignment. The idea being that this alteration can help eliminate lower limb pain and possibly enhance performance through improved gait efficiencies.

What type of orthotics do we have?

For complex foot problems, our podiatrists may recommend a custom-made orthotic (usually with a thermoplastic material) made in a laboratory from a plaster cast moulding or a 3D scan of your foot. For less complex problems, we have a range of heat-moulded orthotics that may suffice. Making quality orthotics takes years of experience and in many ways is considered an art form. Our podiatrists have these skills and can supply quality orthotics to suit your needs.

All of our orthotics are supplied with a full length cover meaning you get an ideal fit that doesn’t move around in the shoe. Your feet are like no other and this is why our orthotics are all custom made to fit your particular foot type.
