ORTHOTICS
We have a special interest in Sports Podiatry, with extensive experience in treating both acute and chronic overuse sporting injuries. With the repetitive nature of exercise and sport on the feet and lower limbs, small inefficiencies or errors in your alignment and movement can lead to the development of overuse injuries, including:
These injuries require a podiatrist's intervention for corrective treatment, enabling better – and safer – performance.
We specialise in human biomechanics, using gait analysis to help diagnose the cause of sports injuries and designing custom-made orthotic devices for your sports footwear. By improving foot function and lower leg mechanics, custom-made orthotics can aid in the treatment and prevention of many lower leg sporting and exercise injuries. Professional advice is also offered regarding the ideal sports shoe for your foot type.
Dry Needling is another technique effectively used for the treatment of painful inflamed muscles and tendons. In order to prevent your injury becoming more serious and debilitating, early intervention is advised.

Orthotics or orthotic devices are podiatric medical devices designed specifically to improve foot function and lower leg mechanics. They are placed into your footwear to restore and support your foot's normal arch and alignment. Orthotic therapy is one of the services we offer for people who may display biomechanical faults in their walking or running.
These include:
We can prescribe many different types of orthotics depending on your needs and budget.
These include:
Custom-made orthotics are prescribed by qualified podiatrists following thorough assessment and gait analysis. They are tailored to your needs to treat and prevent a number of lower leg and foot problems. Custom-made orthotics can be made out of a range of materials (rigid or soft) and designs (thick or thin) to maximize comfort and suit any foot and footwear requirement.
Orthotics work by improving foot function and posture. They can help eliminate pain from activities involving prolonged periods of standing, walking or running. Children, adults, seniors, and even work professions (e.g. retail & hospitality industries) can all benefit from orthotics. Our podiatrists can assess your gait and advise you if your feet will benefit from orthotics.
