Each foot is an engineering masterpiece. The foot is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. We tend to take this for granted until something goes wrong or we develop pain.
Biomechanical problems affecting the feet can increase stresses within the foot structures and the surrounding soft tissues, creating localised pain in the foot, ankle and also problems in the lower limbs, knees, hips and back. Correction of poor foot biomechanics with Orthotics can improve and prevent many types of symptoms such as:

-Forefoot Pain (Metatarsalgia )
-Arch Strain (Plantar Fasciitis)
-Policeman's Heel (Heel Spur)
-Ankle Pain (Tibialis Dysfunction, Lateral Impingement Syndrome)
-Shin Pain (Compartmental Syndrome, Shin Splints)
-Knee Pain (Chondramalcia Patella, Patella Tibial Syndrome)


The aim of a Foot Orthosis is to correct dysfunctional biomechanics and therefore: -Reduce pain
-Provide support
-Prevent or halt the development of foot deformity
-Provide better positioning
-Relieve pressure on a certain area of the foot
-Improve the overall biomechanical function of the foot
-Improve pelvic alignment
-Reduce lower limb torsion and knee stress

This allows joints to be aligned correctly and promotes efficient transmission of biomechanical forces. If we do not feel that your problem is caused primarily by your foot position or poor biomechanics, We will not prescribe you any Orthotics
