Overview
About Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts made to support your feet based on an assessment of your foot structure, posture and walking pattern.
Orthotics are not right for everyone. We start with an assessment and explain whether they are likely to be useful as part of your plan.
What we look at
Before recommending orthotics, we consider how your feet and lower limbs work together in everyday life:
- Foot structure and arch support needs

- Alignment and biomechanical concerns in the legs and feet
- Discomfort when standing or walking
- Your footwear and functional goals
