Many foot problems are the result of a faulty relationship between the bones and muscles of the foot. Misalignment can be due a number of problems.
Commonly they are:
- Flat feet
- Over pronation
- Persistent ankle sprains
- Bunions
- Corns
- Calluses
- Even symptoms that one would not normally associate with feet such as stress and pain in the back, neck, hip and knees.
Orthotics, whilst they may look similar to ‘arch supports’ are special footwear inserts that are individually designed and manufactured to ease pain and discomfort. Based on a biomechanical assessment of your feet we send the necessary specification to the manufacturers in the UK and they make the prescription orthotics for you. They are made using a special lightweight and durable polymer composite material that is so light and thin that the orthotics will easily fit into most shoes.
As your foot sits comfortably on the orthotic it is gently and consistently directed into the optimum position allowing the foot to function correctly when walking, running and standing. Pressure points, bad foot posture and painful muscle strains are eliminated because your feet are functioning optimally.
