Excellence in Patient-Centered Physiotherapy & Custom Orthotics

Physio Discovery prides itself on being synonymous with quality physiotherapy practice with a focus on a patient-centered approach. This clinic provides services that go beyond pain treatment to include pain management, rehabilitation, and mobility enhancement. One of the clinic’s signature services is the custom orthotics service, an important treatment for limbs, feet, and ankles. It is important to note that this service is not ‘one size fits all’ as each client presents distinct needs and must have their issues addressed.

Understanding Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are premedicated shoe inserts that change the way the foot functions. They are intended to correct abnormal foot functioning and position the lower limbs to ensure proper body alignment and composition. These orthoses are different from the usual insoles sold in clinics and pharmacies that are made primarily for everyone. These orthotics are made to order and, therefore, are effective. This is particularly so for individuals with underlying conditions like flat feet, extremely high arches, and chronic plantar fasciitis injury.

Addressing imbalances at the foot level and treating knee, hip, and lower back pain is made effective via custom orthotics because of their uniqueness. Chronic pain and poor posture is a result of the body’s negative reaction to misaligned feet, which custom orthotics aid in correcting. The feet are supported and realigned with proper orthitic treatment, which absorbs shock during activities, redistributes pressure, and improves walking and running efficiency.

Custom Orthotic Construction and Design

During the consultation, there is an evaluation, which is then then followed by the custom orthotic making process using specific materials which are durable and flexible, thus ensuring comfort. A number of reputable orthotic labs which specialize in custom inserts work together with Physio Discovery. The custom orthtics are made into specific shapes so that they fit into the patients’ shoes and help in reducing pain and strain caused on the lower body. Custom orthotics are designed specifically to improve the range of motion of the patients while at the same time ensuring comfort. This is a great method because it ensures each patient has different orthotic needs catered towards their distinct needs.

Orthotics Assessment Process at Physio Discovery

Giving you the support you need to walk properly is the final step in a lengthy treatment plan which starts and ends Physio Discovery. It all begins with an extensive assessment from one of the specialized physiotherapists at Physio Discovery. Measurement of the foot, posture evaluation and walking patterns are all part of the assessment. Some physiotherapists use 3D scanning or foot mapping technology to capture the shape of the foot and determine how weight is distributed while standing and in motion. Assessment is made including the patient`s medical history and lifestyle together with the locations of pain and conditions they have. Recovery from surgery, arthritis, and even sports injuries can all benefit from this wide ranging treatment, enabling physiotherapists to provide customized orthotic solutions that exactly match a patient’s requirements.
