Expert Solutions with Custom Orthotics and Insoles

At Bray Podiatry, we specialise in providing tailored foot care solutions to improve your comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life. Custom orthotics and insoles are a cornerstone of our approach, offering personalised support for your unique needs.

​

Why Choose Custom Orthotics Over Off-the-Shelf Insoles?

Off-the-shelf insoles are prefabricated to address particular conditions (from arthritis, and achilles tendon problems, to flat and high arched feet), and typically last a year depending on the extent of their use.  If your foot or ankle pain has been caused by a one off injury, an off-the-shelf device is a great starting point, and likely one you will only need temporarily while your soft tissues recover and are rehabilitated.

 

Custom-made orthotics are generally used for more complex or chronic conditions.designed specifically around your feet, your activity types, weight, footwear and spicific foot and ankle issue and thereby address your unique biomechanics and conditions. They offer:

• Precision Fit: Tailored to the exact shape and alignment of your feet.

• Enhanced Support: Addresses specific issues such as arch support, overpronation, or underpronation.

• Durability: Made with high-quality materials to provide long-lasting relief.

• Targeted Treatment: Designed to correct underlying biomechanical issues.

The Biomechanics Assessment: A Personalised Approach

Before prescribing your custom orthotics or insoles, our podiatrists conduct a comprehensive biomechanics assessment to understand your specific needs. This process includes:

1. Medical History Review: Discussing your symptoms, lifestyle, and any previous foot issues.

2. Gait Analysis: Observing how you walk and identifying abnormalities in your movement patterns.

3. Foot Examination: Assessing the structure, alignment, and flexibility of your feet, as well as identifying pressure points.

4. Advanced Technology: Utilizing 3D scanning and other diagnostic tools to capture detailed data about your feet.

5. Custom Prescription: Based on the findings, we design orthotics or insoles tailored to your specific needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
