Orthotics & Biomechanics

Biomechanics deals with human motion and helps us to determine the limits of normality and abnormality.

Foot, knee, hip and back pain is commonly a result of poor biomechanics, often stemming from the feet. If left untreated, these problems can lead to further injury and discomfort. That’s why we have invested in the latest Footscan technology, a cutting-edge system which has been utilised in more than 3,000 scientific studies and is trusted by state-of-the-art movement labs and elite sports teams worldwide, from Team GB to Manchester City FC.

What is an Orthotic?

An orthotic or orthoses is a device that fits into the shoe and is designed to create more normal function of the feet and legs.

This is achieved by maintaining the anatomical relationship between the segments of each foot and the leg. Control ‘posts’ in the device aid in this action to achieve the control of abnormal motion without the restriction of normal movements.
