Orthotics for Walking

Walking has many benefits, but for numerous people it is hampered by pain.  Typically footwear designed for walking does not offer much, if any support to a foot that has a tendency to roll inwards (pronation). The potential implications on the body are numerous - from toe/foot/ankle pain to knee/hip/back pain.

Taking into account the results an advanced gait assessment, a custom made orthotic would provide the necessary support to minimise the risk factors as indicated below.

An orthotic used for walking is designed to restore your natural foot function. Many complaints such as heel pain, knee pain and lower back pain are caused by poor foot function.  Custom made Orthotics re-align the foot and ankle bones to their neutral position, thereby restoring natural foot function. There are additional benefits for using orthotics as they help to alleviate problems in other parts of the body.
