3 Steps in Making Custom Orthotics

Suffering from foot corns and calluses? That might be the pressure on your feet. Lucky for you, we’ve got just the thing to help relieve the pressure.

Compared to regular shoe inserts that provide cushioning and support for your feet, orthotics were made to correct biomechanical problems with your feet, making it easier for you to walk, stand, and run correctly. So, how are they made? 

Here at Optimise Health, we create customised orthotics in 3 steps. 

The first step is a gait analysis. Our Zebris Gait Analysis System is packed with 7,000 sensors that capture data on your gait, running technique, injury risk, and muscle strength.

The system allows us to identify which parts of your feet are taking on too much pressure when you’re standing, walking, or running.

After the gait analysis, we use our innovative Orthema system to do a 3D scan of your feet. With this system, we’ll be able to make orthotics to alleviate the pressure on your feet and help you feel more comfortable. 

As soon as we’re done with the scan, we can start creating the orthotic inside the clinic. If you’re from out of town, you won’t even have to wait a few days before they’re ready. From the gait analysis down to the actual creation of the orthotics, the process takes approximately 80 minutes. 

Then in 2 weeks, you can come back to the clinic to let us know whether the orthotic is too strong, not strong enough, or just right — which is what we aim for. 

Don’t wait until you develop chronic metatarsal injuries that stop you from doing things you love.
