01/
Plantar Fasciitis
Custom orthotics are designed to reduce the pressure and loading of the plantar fascia, so you can keep moving pain free.
02/
Foot Fatigue
The stabilizing heel cup and custom arch support improves comfort and reduces forces on the muscles and ligaments of the foot, decreasing foot fatigue.
03/
Flat feet
The supportive arch is custom designed according to the size and shape of your foot, offering a healthier alignment and reducing uneven loading and pressure.
04/
High arches
Orthotics offer custom support for high arches, allowing you to distribute weight and pressure evenly across the entire surface of the foot.
05/
Improving the Kinetic Chain
Orthotics help to relieve pain in the foot, heel, ankle and lower leg by placing these joints back into their natural alignment so that they ‘track’ properly, move more efficiently, and with significantly less discomfort.
06/
Knee, hip and back pain
By properly aligning the foot and ankle, there is often also a reduction in knee, hip and back pain, since the foundation of the ‘kinetic chain’ (i.e. the feet!) is being properly aligned.

Kinetic Chain
The feet represent the base of the kinetic chain, and each subsequent joint above the feet can be considered a ‘link’ in the chain, much like a stable house is built upon a strong foundation

What does a Custom Orthotic do?
A custom orthotic is a prescribed removable corrective device that is placed in your shoes to hold your foot in the proper position. This allows the joints, muscles and ligaments of your feet to function closer to their normal limits, so that your feet and lower leg can move more efficiently. Custom foot orthotics, also known as insoles, are used to alleviate pain and discomfort in the feet and the lower leg, caused by abnormal foot function or structure.
How are Custom Orthotics made?
Custom orthotics are not just a ’piece of plastic’. Making a pair of truly custom-made orthotics is an involved, multi-step process where attention to detail, and a thorough understanding of the biomechanics and fabrication processes come together.
Custom orthotics are made from a three-dimensional plaster cast of your feet after a biomechanical examination, stance and gait analysis is performed. Just like prescription eye glasses, custom made orthotics come in different materials (soft & hard), styles, shapes and corrections.
