ORTHOTICS & BIOMECHANICS

Looking To Improve Your Posture?

Our Orthotics & Biomechanics Services

We use our expert assessment skills and utilise advanced technology to analyse biomechanics and create custom or prescription 3D printed orthotics, offering tailored solutions for optimising posture, reducing pain and enhancing overall foot health.

What are Orthotics?

Orthotics are insoles that fit inside your shoes and are intended to correct your foot’s alignment, biomechanical loading and gait pattern. As a result, we can reduce pain and injury risk. Unlike off-the-shelf orthotics, prescription or custom-made orthotics are personalised orthotics tailored specifically to your foot structure and biomechanical needs. 

In order to design and create your orthotics, a biomechanical assessment is completed using our expert skills, Footscan technology and 3D scanning of your feet. This gives us precise details and measurements to create your prescription or custom-made 3D printed orthotics. 

Whether you’re suffering from plantar fasciitis, heel pain, other foot-related issues, knee pain or back pain, prescription or custom-made orthotics can help alleviate discomfort, reduce injury risk and improve your overall mobility.

 

WHAT IS BIOMECHANICS?

Biomechanics plays a crucial role in reducing foot pain, knee pain, and back pain because it focuses on understanding how the body moves and functions, especially when it comes to the musculoskeletal system.

By analysing the way we walk, run, stand, and perform various activities, biomechanics can identify abnormal movement patterns or imbalances in the body’s mechanics that may contribute to pain and discomfort.

If we address the root causes of these pains and align the body’s biomechanics correctly, individuals can experience reduced strain on their feet, knees, and back, leading to improved comfort and a lower risk of chronic pain conditions, thus enhancing the quality of life for many individuals.

Biomechanical Assessment using state-of-the-art technology forms part of our Performance Consultancy package. 

What do we offer at Evolution-Physio?

We provide state-of-the-art Foothealth 3D scanning and Footscan gait analysis technology, which we combine with our expert knowledge of biomechanics, to assess your unique needs accurately. 

Detailed 3D scanning allows us to capture an exact model of your feet. This data is then used to design prescription Fit4U Orthotics and ensures that every orthotic is uniquely crafted to match your foot structure and fit perfectly, providing the support and comfort you need. In-clinic 3D printing with our orthotics laboratory allows us to produce these prescription orthotics on-site for faster turnaround. Not only that, but we also offer bespoke flip-flops and sandals for additional comfort and support all-year round. 

To give our clients more choice, we provide Phits custom-made orthotics as an alternative, ensuring you have the best options for your foot health. Phits Orthotics are created using advanced Footscan technology which is professionally approved by the Royal College of Podiatry. This dynamic pressure system analyses your gait and foot pressure in real-time. The data captured allows us to design Phits 3D printed custom-made orthotics that are tailored to you.

Is it just for athletes? - No!

It’s not just for the Pro’s! Whilst this technology and orthotics are used by elite level athletes and premiership sports clubs, as you now know, correcting biomechanics is important for us all, not just to improve your football game or your golf swing but helps everyone with postural back pain to arthritis (and everything in between!) in their day-to-day life to keep active and pain-free.
