If you decide to go ahead with the treatment, we would then take a Laser Scan of your feet to correctly determine the foot shape for our tailor made orthotics. Your tailor made orthotics will be manufactured in our laboratory in the USA and ready to slip into your shoes in about 3-6 weeks. If any adjustments are needed within the first year, these are free of charge to you.

Types of orthotics we prescribe
"Starter orthotics": Many clients showing rigid arches will not adapt to their perfect arch height immediately and inflammation and discomfort may be the result, taking some considerable time to wear off. We have developed an orthotic worn in the early days to help the arch and rear foot to adapt and help recovery.
These have proved incredibly successful and allow the foot to be raised in 2 stages by introducing it to its natural position by using a lower, more contoured and moveable arch for the early days. We then raise the foot to its permanent position around 6-8 weeks later when natural adaptation has taken place.

Slim fit: - primarily for ladies high heels or court shoes, but can also be used in men's "Gucci"-type loafers or similar narrow shoes.
Comfort Control: designed for casual shoes or where metatarsal padding is required.
Action Track: a full-length orthotic primarily for trainers. There are many variations on this particular type

Walker: primarily for walking boots or shoes; great for those who love their long walks or hikes. Designed for maximum long distance comfort and an individual action that is loved by wearers of walking boots for those long hikes.
Slipper/indoor: generally designed for all types of indoor surfaces and "supportive" slippers.
Work (safety) boots: many industrial footwear types require adaptations to the orthotic prescription to enable them to cope with hard industrial flooring and long term standing
What is Plantar fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis refers to an inflammation of the plantar fascia of the foot. The inflammation in the tissue is the result of some type of injury to the plantar fascia. Typically, plantar fasciitis results from repeated trauma to the tissue where it attaches to the calcaneus. It is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot. It occurs in about 10% of the population over a lifetime. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue, much like a tendon, that starts at your heel and goes along the bottom of your foot. It attaches to each one of the bones that form the ball of your foot. The plantar fascia works like a rubber band between the heel and the ball of your foot to form the arch of your foot. If the band is short, you'll have a high arch, and if it's long, you'll have a low arch, what some people call ‘flat feet.’ A pad of fat in your heel covers the plantar fascia to help absorb the shock of walking. Damage to the plantar fascia can be a cause of heel pain. Plantar fasciitis (heel-spur syndrome) is a common problem among people active in sports, especially runners. It typically starts as a dull, intermittent pain in the heel and may progress to sharp, constant pain. Often, it is usually worse in the morning or after sitting, and then decreases as the person begins to walk around. In addition, the pain usually increases after standing or walking for long periods of time, and at the beginning of a sporting activity. We generally find that there is a combination of causes and this is where our ‘speciality’ really comes into play. It is a much specialised condition requiring specialised knowledge.
What is Metatarsalgia (‘Ball’ of the foot or Metatarsal Pain)? Pain in the ball of the foot (called metatarsalgia) may have many different causes (including arthritis, poor circulation, pinching of the nerves between the toes, posture problems, and various disorders). It refers to the pain which is experienced at the ball area of the foot. This area is also known medically as the metatarsal foot region. Metatarsalgia can affect not only the ball of the foot but also the joints and the bones within that region. Metatarsalgia is coined as a term to indicate any pain which can be experienced in the metatarsal region of the foot. Literally, the term means "pain in the metatarsal area". The metatarsals are the long bone structures which can be found in the feet's front part and located just underneath the toes. Our approach is to find out exactly why these problems are happening to the patient and eradicate them at their source.
