Who is this for? Patients whose gait analysis has identified a mechanical driver of pain, those with plantar fasciitis or Achilles pain that keeps returning, patients with flat feet or high arches causing fatigue, and anyone who has not had lasting relief from off-the-shelf insoles.
What are the benefits of 3D custom orthotics?
- Built from your own dataDesigned from your dynamic pressure and gait capture, not a static mould of your foot.
- Selective stiffness3D printing allows different zones of the same device to flex or support independently.
- Fits real footwearLow-profile options that go into work shoes and running shoes, not just trainers.
- Durable and reviewableFitted, then reviewed so the prescription can be adjusted as your symptoms and loading change.
How Foot Focus is different with orthotics
- An in-depth assessmentWe find out how your foot and ankle move, and take baseline strength measurements.
- Exercise and rehab firstWe prescribe exercise and rehab before any orthotic, to make your foot and ankle as strong and robust as possible, so you're not reliant on an orthotic.
- An orthotic, if you need oneAfter a period of time, we introduce an orthotic if it's needed. Ours are Phits 3D-printed from your Footscan® pressure data.
- Fitting in clinicWe fit it in the clinic, with instructions on wearing it in and footwear advice.
- ReviewA follow-up appointment to check it's doing what it should, and adjust it if not.
Orthotics are rarely handed out on their own. Our philosophy is to make your foot and ankle as strong as possible first, through exercise and rehab, and orthotics are part of a treatment programme.
