Are Custom Orthotics Right for You?
Assessment comes first.
Custom orthotics are individually designed shoe inserts that may help improve comfort, support and foot mechanics when appropriate.
At Pro Motion Physiotherapy, we begin with an assessment of your feet, walking pattern, movement and symptoms to determine whether orthotics are likely to be useful for you.
There are different ways of assessing, casting and designing orthotics...we think we have one of the best!
Who May Benefit From Orthotics?
Orthotics are most helpful when they address a specific need.
Custom orthotics may be considered for certain foot, ankle, knee or lower-limb problems, especially when mechanics, loading or footwear may be contributing to symptoms.
They are not automatically the right solution for every problem, so assessment comes first.
Since there can be a number of different causes for pain in these areas, a proper assessment of the entire lower extremities and low back is necessary to find the best solution.
What Your Assessment Includes
We look beyond the foot alone
Your assessment may include foot posture, walking mechanics, movement, strength, footwear and the activities that are most important to you.
If orthotics are appropriate, we use those findings to help guide the prescription.
