ORTHOTICS are used when biomechanical control or correction is required to aid in lower limb discomfort.
Biomechanics refers to the alignment of all structures, skeletal and muscular that provide us with correct functionality in walking, running, standing, playing sports and general life style.
Poor or misaligned biomechanics can contribute to pain and discomfort from sore feet through to lower back pain. It can also effect our life style and sporting achievements.
ORTHOTICS consist of materials that can be moulded to either conform to the foot for comfort or adjust the way the foot moves or is positioned when weight bearing, this assits in developing the correct biomechanical positioning.
Most ORTHOTICS offer moderate correction however a medical professional suchas a Podiatrist or Physiotherapist will mould and provide additional correction to best suit your biomechanical profile.
Professional guidance is advised before selecting orthotics.
