What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are specialised biomechanical support devices designed to improve foot function, relieve pain and optimise how your feet, ankles and lower limbs work during movement. They are custom prescribed based on a detailed assessment of your gait, foot structure and movement patterns — not generic “one-size-fits-all” insoles from a chemist or sports shop.

Whether you’re walking, running, standing for long periods, or returning from injury, properly fitted orthotics help correct abnormal motion, increase comfort and reduce strain throughout the body.

Why Choose Orthotics?

Orthotics are effective when your foot mechanics contribute to pain or dysfunction in the feet, ankles, knees, hips or back. They are commonly used for conditions such as:

Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Flat feet or high arches
Overuse and alignment-related injuries
Knee pain linked to gait imbalance
Foot, ankle or lower limb overloading
Repetitive strain from work or sport

By enhancing how your foot strikes and supports your body, orthotics can improve comfort across daily activities and athletic performance alike.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics

When designed and fitted by a skilled physiotherapist, orthotics offer a range of evidence-based benefits:

Reduced Pain & Discomfort
Custom orthotics redistribute pressure and align the foot more effectively to reduce pain in the feet, lower limbs, knees and even lower back.
Improved Biomechanics
They enhance how your foot interacts with the ground, improving gait efficiency and reducing compensatory stress on muscles and joints. Injury
Prevention & Performance
By controlling excessive motion and optimising alignment, orthotics can help prevent common overuse injuries and support better performance in sport and everyday movement.
Enhanced Mobility & Function
Better foot mechanics often means more comfortable walking, running and standing, helping you stay active longer with less fatigue.

Custom Orthotics vs Generic Inserts

While over-the-counter shoe inserts provide basic cushioning, they do not customise support to your exact biomechanics. Our custom orthotics are prescribed only after a thorough clinical assessment, ensuring they target your specific gait patterns and structural needs — which leads to better outcomes and long-term comfort.

Who Can Benefit from Orthotics?

Orthotics are suitable for adults and children alike who have biomechanical issues, pain during activity, or are seeking improved lower limb function. They are especially helpful for:
