👣 Not All Orthotics Are Created Equal 👣
When it comes to managing foot pain, lower limb injuries, or postural issues, one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work.
Why? Because different foot types and movement patterns require different orthotic interventions. An orthotic that works brilliantly for one person might aggravate symptoms in another if not properly matched to the individual’s biomechanics, foot posture, and functional demands.
🔍 What makes a good orthotic prescription?
✔️ A comprehensive assessment of your foot type, gait, and postural alignment
✔️ Consideration of the specific injury or condition being managed (e.g., plantar fasciitis, tibial stress syndrome, hip pain)
✔️ Knowledge of how different orthotic materials and designs affect load transfer, joint positioning, and muscle activation
✔️ An understanding of your activity levels and footwear choices
A well-prescribed orthotic can:
• Reduce pain
• Improve efficiency in walking and running
• Prevent recurrence of injury
• Support long-term postural alignment
✨ It’s not just about cushioning the foot — it’s about influencing the whole kinetic chain.
