Orthotic therapy is often part of management for plantar fasciitis, Morton’s Neuroma, bunions, alongside footwear advice, strengthening and stretching.
Plantar Fasciitis
Arch-supporting orthoses may help reduce strain on the plantar fascia and ease first-step heel pain, alongside stretching and load management.

Foot orthoses are shoe inserts designed to change how load is shared through the foot and lower limb. They may reduce strain on painful tissues, support foot posture and improve comfort during walking, work and sport.
- Assessment – history, foot posture, joint range, strength and a gait assessment.
- Discussion – whether orthoses are likely to help, and whether prefabricated or custom devices suit your needs.
- Fitting – orthoses are fitted to your everyday, work or sports footwear.
- Review – comfort and symptoms are reviewed, with adjustments where needed. Children’s orthoses are reviewed as feet grow.
