Custom Orthotics
Custom Orthotics Using GaitScan ™ Technology
- You might be surprised at the direct impact your feet can have on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them.
- When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk can cause a chain reaction that alters your posture and movement mechanics.
- Physio Performance GaitScan assessment technology allows your physio to closely analyse your foot mechanics.
Benefits of GaitScan
- Gaitscan is an ultra-scientific state of the art computer software programme. GaitScan has an industry high 4096 sensors and scans at an industry high 300Hz (scans per second) compared to the human eye at approximately 15Hz.
- GaitScan records the timing sequences as you walk or run across a force plate and it then produces a report and 3D image of the pressure distribution under your foot. This level of analysis is impossible to detect with the naked eye.
Why Invest in Custom Orthotics?
- Custom made orthotics adjust your foot mechanics to improve the way you move.
- They help re-balance your feet.
- They reduce pain and discomfort by restoring and enhancing your body’s natural movements.
- Detecting and correcting these abnormalities could be the key to making you pain free.
