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. We use a cad
cam system to manufacture orthoses, ensuring accuracy and repeatability. Multiple devices may be formed for repeat prescriptions.
We also use a vacuum forming process for on the spot orthotic prescription. Assessment includes biomechanical
analysis, muscle strength and flexibility testing, lower limb joint assessment and video gait analysis. This process takes up to 1.5 hours.
Activities found to benefit from orthotic treatment are:
Walking Running Cycling Racquet sports Weight training Snow / Water sports Hill walking Golf Military Training
