When it comes to walking, running or simply being on your feet all day foot pain happens..

Your feet are your foundation. Every stride you take impacts your entire body, and if your feet aren’t properly supported or poorly trained that impact can lead to pain, discomfort, and injury.

Many people turn to custom orthotics and with a quick Google search a whole array of solutions advertised can be seen..

Here’s the thing, anything ordered online that comes in the post, or off the shelf are not custom!!!

Anything that is based on visual interpretation on a running machine is not truly custom, and anything based on an a foot imprint is not a custom orthotic based on how you actually move.

—while they might offer some relief, they’re not custom-made for you and how you contact the ground.

In fact, they’re mass-produced, generic, and designed with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

If it’s a little padding for comfort that’s ok, anything else is guess work.

You see, one of the most overlooked facts is, your left and right foot are rarely the same. Most people have slight differences in foot size, arch height, or even the way their feet hit the ground (gait).

These subtle variations can make a huge difference in how your feet function while running, walking or simply standing at work. A mass-produced insole can’t possibly take these individual differences into account.

The image shows using the latest in FootScan Gait Analysis technology how different the feet really are, this is what a custom orthotic needs to be built around..

Luckily…..

With 3D laser print systems, we can make orthotics using this data direct, creating specific orthotics based on your precise ground contact. Truly custom orthotics that take into account instabilities, stiffness, altered centre of balance and weight distribution.

Truly custom orthotics as part of a good treatment and rehabilitation plan maximise recovery and optimises performance.

It all starts with a stable base..
