Personalised Foot Support for Whole-Body Alignment

Custom orthotics are specialised medical devices designed to support and align the foot and ankle into their most anatomically efficient position. While they may look similar to standard shoe insoles, custom orthotics are biomechanical appliances individually prescribed and manufactured to address your unique foot structure and movement patterns.

At PhysiMed Health, custom orthotics are used to correct underlying foot imbalances that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction elsewhere in the body.

How Custom Orthotics Work

Your feet form the foundation of your body. When foot mechanics are compromised, it can lead to compensations and increased stress through the knees, hips, pelvis, and lower back.

Custom orthotics help by:

  • Supporting proper foot and ankle alignment

  • Improving shock absorption and load distribution

  • Reducing abnormal movement patterns

  • Correcting biomechanical faults during walking and running

By addressing the root cause at foot level, orthotics can help relieve pain and improve function throughout the entire kinetic chain.

 

Conditions That May Benefit From Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are commonly prescribed for people experiencing:

  • Foot and heel pain

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Flat feet or high arches

  • Knee pain

  • Hip pain

  • Lower back pain

  • Overuse injuries

  • Postural or gait abnormalities

They are also widely used to enhance comfort and performance during daily activities, work, and sport.

Personalised Assessment & Prescription

At PhysiMed Health, custom orthotics begin with a comprehensive assessment of your posture, gait, and biomechanics. This may include walking or running analysis to identify how your feet function under load.

Based on this assessment, your orthotics are custom-made to suit your:

  • Foot structure
  • Activity level
  • Footwear requirements
  • Specific injury or condition

 

More Than Just Insoles

Unlike off-the-shelf inserts, custom orthotics are designed to deliver long-term correction and support. They are durable, precise, and tailored to your individual needs—making them a valuable tool in both treatment and injury prevention.

Integrated Care for Better Outcomes

Custom orthotics at PhysiMed Health are often combined with physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or exercise rehabilitation to achieve optimal results and long-term improvement.

Frequently asked questions

Walking and standing with the feet, legs, hips, and spine constantly out of alignmentcan contribute to back pain. The use of foot orthotics that realign the rear of the foot to prevent foot pronation may help stop this domino effect from occurring. … Shoe Insoles for Lower Back Pain.
When it comes to footwear, flip-flops are a summer staple. While they may feel comfortable on a daily basis, they can cause serious foot, hip, knee, and backinjuries. … Wearing shoes with little to no arch support can cause overuse of tendons and muscles not only in your feet, but also in hips, ankles, knees, andback.
Orthotic devices are commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis and are usually made to fit the arch very snugly. Soft arch supports and heel cups can relieve your symptoms. They can helpspread and absorb shock (from planting your foot) and ease pressure on your heel.
Back pain, including sciatica pain, can develop from the feet up–that’s why supportive shoes are so important. Non-supportive, ill-fitting shoes can cause changes to your gait. This increases the curvature of the spine, placing excess pressure on the lower back and the sciatic nerve.
Repeated exposure to improperly fitted footwear can cause permanent damage to your feet. High heels, hard soled shoes, flip flops, pointed toes shoes, and any shoe that doesn’t properly conform to the shape of your foot can cause a lot of stress and fatigue in the feet and ankles and even way higher up the body chain, in areas such as knees, hips and the lower back. If you only have pain above the level of the belly button then chances are orthotics won’t help that, but if your pain is lower back and/or below that then custom orthotics could help.
More frequently, Dry Needling is needed at the beginning to help break the pain cycle then other treatment modalities are introduced.
