Orthoses

Foot orthoses (orthotics) are used to treat a variety of foot and leg conditions, realign/address postural abnormalities (including lower back and pelvis position) and alleviate/redistribute pressure and force.

Typically orthoses are either functional (sports or custom) or accommodative (soft or diabetic) shoe inserts. At SOLE we prescribe and manufacture orthoses from a large variety of the latest materials from carbon fibre, EVAs or PEs depending on your individual needs.

Prefabricated Orthoses

SOLE now offers prefabricated carbon fibre orthoses. Carbon Fibre is thinner - to fit into your shoe easier, longer lasting and stronger than any other orthotic material.

Equipment

We utilise computer plantar pressure technology (TOG GaitScan™) to accurately assess your gait and prescribe the most appropriate and effective orthotic therapy.

Your foot is in contact with the ground for about .8 of a second when walking and about .25 seconds when running. The GaitScan™ system records your timing sequenced during gait as you walk or run across the pressure plate. This enables your practitioner to have a clear picture of your foot mechanics and determine whether you would benefit from wearing custom made foot orthotics.

All orthoses are manufactured on site, at SOLE, with the latest computerised milling technology.
