Orthotics and Footwear

Orthotics are medical appliances that are custom made to correct specific foot imbalances. Feet are the foundation of the entire body. They do an incredible amount of work each day.

If the foot is in a proper position it allows the ankles, knees, hips and the rest of the body to be in a neutral position so that gravity’s natural forces go through joints and spine, at their strongest points.

On the other hand, the slightest misalignment of muscles and bones can cause many different problems such as localized foot pain, bunions, hammer toe, arch, heel, leg, knee, hip or back pain, even neck pain.

At Unique Physiotherapy Clinic, custom-made orthotics are prescribed to correct specific body imbalances.

In your shoes your feet rest comfortably on orthotics, your feet are gently and consistently forced into the correct functioning for walking, running, and standing.

Their proper alignment eliminates improper rotation of the foot, painful muscle strain, and abnormal forces on the legs, hips, and spine
