The foot is unique in the body due to its position and functions. Although most people believe that each foot only takes half of your body weight during walking, it is in fact about one and a half times. In a normal day a person might take between 8-12,000 steps. This means that any inefficiency in foot function is multiplied many times over. This is the basis of many foot and lower limb problems. A careful biomechanical examination attempts to pick out these minor imbalances and seeks to correct them by mechanical means. Foot orthoses work by increasing the efficiency with which the foot functions. This altered function can affect the whole lower limb, pelvis and back thus improving the body’s general posture and ability to function.

Foot Orthotics have transformed the treatment of many foot and lower limb problems. Developed over many decades the modern orthoses is highly developed piece of engineering. In order to obtain the correct prescription, a full biomechanical examination is required. Due to the unique way in which they practice, many patients are provided with an orthotic device and rehabilitation exercises at their first appointment. This can lead to an earlier return to work, sport and/or exercise. In many instances, this approach is more cost effective, due to fewer appointments needed throughout the course of treatment.
