Orthotics are customised heat moulded shoe inserts which aid in improving alignment or biomechanics when walking, running and standing.
Orthotic prescription is based on individual assessment of static positioning and dynamic biomechanics. Poor foot positioning can cause injury to the foot and can also be translated to the knees, hips and lumbar spine.
The aim of orthotic prescription is to re-align the foot into the most biomechanically advantageous position and thus reduce loads on your lower limbs and spine.
