Foot Orthoses

These orthoses are more commonly known as insoles. Foot orthoses come in many different shapes and forms.

The purpose of a foot orthosis is to modify the pathological loading of a structure, in order to allow it to heal or prevent it from worsening. Whether that is by reducing the tissue stress, joint loading or both in some cases.

Lower Limb Orthoses

We prescribe and supply Dynamic Ankle Foot Orthoses (DAFO’s), Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFO’s) and Knee Ankle Foot Orthoses (KAFO’s) both off the shelf and bespoke from a variety of materials, such as thermoplastics and carbon fibre.

There are many reasons that you may need these orthoses. Through our assessment and discussion we will be able to prescribe the most suitable orthoses to help you achieve your goals.
