Understanding Functional Orthotics
Support for Your Body's Foundation
Functional orthotics play a crucial role in supporting the three interconnected arches of your foot, known as the plantar vault. These arches provide structural support for your body's equilibrium, similar to how strong supports uphold the foundation of a house.
When these arches begin to collapse, it can compromise the foundation of your body, leading to various foot problems and affecting your overall posture.
Unlike generic, over-the-counter orthotics, our Functional orthotics are custom-designed to address your unique arch and postural problems. They are crafted using the latest technology and materials, providing targeted support where it's needed most while ensuring comfort and flexibility in other areas.
Our Functional orthotics offer more than just short-term symptom relief. They are designed to address the root cause of foot problems and improve overall posture and body alignment.
To create these specialized orthotics, we utilize a 3-dimensional foot scanner to produce a detailed scan of your feet, highlighting any issues with your arches. The foot scan provides valuable information, including a Pronation/Stability Index, Foot Assessment, and Body Assessment.
Using computer-generated molds and the latest technology, we create custom-made supports tailored to your feet and back. These orthotics are typically ready within three-four weeks and can fit most shoes, eliminating the need for specially made footwear.
