Orthotics are an investment in your wellbeing. Each orthotic is produced individually to each foot and each person using very accurate and modern equipment.  They can be purchased in increments and are built to last, with some parts being replaceable as they wear.

There is a wide variety of conditions from lower back pain, knee pain, ankle pain, heel pain, arch pain or even pain in your big toe. Sometimes it is more of a concern about the way you walk or run rather than a condition with a pain component. To evaluate if an orthotic is best for you it is firstly necessary to determine what is causing your pain or concern and this is best evaluated by our team of podiatrists.Orthotics are used to correct and manage the biomechanics of walking, running and standing.Our team of highly qualified podiatrists will undertake a subjective, objective and biomechanical assessment to tailor the best possible management plan for you.

It may be necessary to change your chosen style of footwear if your orthosis is to be effective. Shoes or boots should have a strong, wide, supportive base. Any shoes with a heel higher than three centimetres are generally unsuitable for use, as are most types of slip-on and court shoes, as they will either end up too tight or slip off when walking. Generally, trainers or other shoes with a fastening (laces or Velcro) are the best for accommodating orthoses. Removing the original inlay from inside your shoes will create extra space for your orthosis.
