What are foot orthoses / medical insoles?



How can orthoses help me?

Following an initial consultation simple orthoses can be used as part of your treatment plan. They are used to “unload” or “offload” specific areas of the foot, ankle and lower limb to reduce force / load within symptomatic areas of your body to help you improve mobility and reduce pain.

If you require more complex foot orthoses, custom-made foot orthoses are prescribed following an MSK Analysis, or Advanced MSK + 3D Gait Analysis.  We use 3D gait analysis and pressure analysis data help us understand what type of custom-made orthoses device you need. We make orthoses for walking, running, activity, skiing and even low profile business shoes.

We have a range of in-shoe medical devices and orthotic packages available to suit your needs.  Information regarding custom-made orthotic packages of care can be found within our Insurance and Fee section.
