Custom Made Orthoses
Orthoses act as the interface between the body and the ground and so offer us the chance to influence motion.
Our devices are semi – flexible and in many circumstances can be milled while you wait.
We use a combination of traditional and contemporary materials to achieve varying degrees of
shock attenuation and correction. Prescription and assembly is based on desired function,
anatomical variance of the foot, shoe volume and symptoms being treated. All sports are assessed
from an understanding of the sport and this is reflected in the multitude of devices supplied.
In some instances the device will be formed from a plaster cast. This has the advantage of reducing
patient time in the clinic with a next week collection or a postal service. Multiple devices may
also be formed for repeat prescriptions.
The majority of insoles are made using our vacuum forming process. Assessment, video gait analysis,
manufacture, and supply are performed within 90 minutes. Activities found to benefit from treatment are:
Walking in stiff soled work shoes
Running
Cycling
Ball games
Racquet sports
Weight training
Snow / Water sports
Hill walking
