Many problems and inefficiencies can originate from your physical structure and the way you move. These problems tend to develop gradually or persist over many years, and some take years to finally show with symptoms. Support and correction with custom insoles can significantly change the way you stand and move and can reduce stress in areas which have been compensating or subjected to higher forces than they should. Custom insoles can be just as much prevention as a form a treatment.

How is it done?

Multiple methods of assessment are combined to give the best insight into your structure, alignment, posture and motion. These include detailed visial and manual assessments alongside cutting edge technology such as pressure plate, digital pelvic inclinometry (to measure angles in the pelvis) and video motion analysis on the treadmill.

How can it help?

Correction of structural and alignment issues such as leg legnth inequality and flat feet can reduce stress in areas which have been compensating or subjected to higher forces than they should. In this way it is also possible to help prevent issues such as joint problems and stress fractures from developing. Better movement leads to better function and athletes often find they can train and recover better.

Who is this for?

EVERYONE!
