Orthotic Insoles

During your biomechanical assessment Rachel Miller may prescribe a bespoke orthotic insole as a beneficial non-invasive part of treatment. An orthotic insole can cushion and align your foot structure and may help to correct imbalances that can create stresses and strains in your body. An orthotic insole may also help an athlete improve their performance by making exercise more mechanically and energy efficient.

Rachel chooses the best possible materials and densities for your orthotic for both support and shock absorption depending on your individual need.

See below for more information about orthotic insoles, costs and clinic details. See the Biomechanics page or more information about biomechanical assessments.

Orthotic insoles

The orthotics provided are a custom-made insole that fit the individual characteristics of your foot. An orthotic insole slips comfortably into shoes and trainers which may help improve deficiencies in gait, correct imbalances, support, cushion and improve foot function. An orthotic insole may alleviate heel, ankle, foot, knee, hip, back and neck pain. Orthotics can also redistribute pressure which may reduce stress on toes and joints.

Cast

During your consultation if you are prescribed a bespoke orthotic insole a cast is taken of your foot. This is a skilled procedure, completely individual to you and reflects your unique condition. From this cast, based on the precise shape of your foot, an orthotic insole is made using the very best of materials for both shock absorption and support. You can be prescribed a range of orthotic materials which will depend on your individual needs and condition.

Manufacture

Rachel ensures your orthotics are crafted exactly to your needs. Working in the field of biomechanics and orthotics for many years does mean that Rachel has mastered the techniques to give an expert biomechanical assessment, take a precise cast to help create a bespoke orthotic insole that can effectively help you.

Follow-up consultation

If you are prescribed an orthotic insole there is a free follow-up consultation three to four weeks after your initial assessment when the orthotic is fitted into your shoes. If any adjustments are needed to be made to your orthotics after your follow-up no charge will made. Plaster casts are kept in storage to make further orthotics if needed. An orthotic insole will normally last between 12 – 24 months depending on your age, your condition and type of use. Many patients have several orthotics for different shoes making them easier to use and extending their life.
