Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics designed to correct alignment, reduce pain, and support healthy movement.
What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are custom-made medical devices placed inside your shoes to support, align, or improve the function of your feet and lower limbs.
They are designed based on your unique biomechanics and are prescribed to address pain, structural abnormalities, or inefficient movement patterns.
Orthotics may be recommended if you experience foot, ankle, knee, or lower-back pain due to poor alignment or repetitive stress.
Types of Orthotics We Provide
Custom Foot Orthotics (Prescription Orthoses)
Fully customised based on foot scans and biomechanical findings. Best for long-term correction and pain relief.
Functional Orthotics
Designed to control abnormal motion such as overpronation or supination.
Accommodative Orthotics
Softer orthotics for pressure relief, suitable for diabetic feet, elderly individuals, or sensitive conditions.
Sports Orthotics
Specialised for athletes requiring shock absorption, performance optimisation, and injury prevention.
Paediatric Orthotics
Created for children with flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, or gait abnormalities.

You may benefit from orthotics if you experience:
- Enhance Walking and Running Efficiency
- Plantar Fasciitis or Heel Pain
- Achilles Tendon Strain
- Knee Pain (Runner's Knee, Patellofemoral Pain)

What to Expect During Your Assessment
1
Clinical Assessment
We review your symptoms, activity level, lifestyle requirements, and previous injuries.
2
Biomechanical Examination
A detailed evaluation of:
- Joint mobility
- Foot and ankle alignment
- Posture and lower-limb mechanics
3
Gait Analysis
Video or digital analysis to observe foot strike, pronation, step symmetry, and movement patterns.
4
3D Foot Scanning or Moulding
High-precision scanning or casting to capture your exact foot shape.
5
Custom Fabrication
Orthotics are crafted using durable medical-grade materials tailored to your needs—supportive, accommodative, or sport-specific.
6
Fitting & Review
We ensure the orthotics fit correctly and schedule follow-up checks to monitor comfort and progress.
