How Orthotic Therapy Works for Riverwood Patients

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.

  1. Assessment – history, foot posture, joint range, strength and a gait assessment.
  2. Discussion – whether orthoses are likely to help, and whether prefabricated or custom devices suit your needs.
  3. Fitting – orthoses are fitted to your everyday, work or sports footwear.
  4. Review – comfort and symptoms are reviewed, with adjustments where needed. Children’s orthoses are reviewed as feet grow.
