Orthotics
Foot orthoses are widely used in the prevention and treatment of foot and lower limb disorders.
Prescription orthotics / insoles are used to correct the biomechanics of the leg and relieve the pain associated with its dysfunction. Orthotic devices can vary from simple arch supports to customized insoles.
Our chartered physiotherapists have post-graduate training in this area and will provide you with a comprehensive consultation.
Your orthotic evaluation will include:
- A detailed biomechanical evaluation of the structure of your feet

- Manufacture of your orthotic to your specifications
