Sport-specific custom orthotics
Devices designed for the demands of your sport, accounting for your biomechanics, movement patterns and strength, as well as the equipment the orthotic must fit inside.
Running · Court · Basketball · Soccer
The foot functions as a spring
In many sports, the foot absorbs impact force on landing, then rebounds to provide energy and momentum for the next movement. A sport orthotic must support that action, working with the spring-like quality of your own foot rather than restricting it.
Skiing · Golf · Skating · Cycling
The foot as a stable platform
In other sports, the foot’s role is stability and alignment. In skiing or golf, the foot is the first point of contact with the ground, and its position aligns the knees, hips and upper body for effective power transfer. Here, the orthotic provides a stable, well-aligned base for the rest of the body.

The process, from assessment to fitting
Custom orthotics are fitted using 3D digital scanning. The initial Chiropodist assessment is billed separately; the orthotics fee covers your scan, fitting appointment and a follow-up review.
- 0130 minutes
Initial assessment
A full foot assessment and biomechanical evaluation. Your practitioner observes your gait and, in most cases, records a video of how you walk to keep on file for your care plan.
- 02≈ 5 minutes
3D digital scan
A digital scan taken in our dedicated scanning room produces a precise model of your foot. For specific conditions, or where an ankle-height device is required, a plaster cast is used instead.

Fabrication
Your orthotics are fabricated from your scan and your practitioner's prescription by our partner technicians, who are highly skilled in manual plaster modification.

What Is Included
