Orthotics

At The Glen Podiatry we are proud of the fact that we utilise different types of orthoses: This will give you options to ensure the most appropriate device is prescribed for your feet.

Why our customised orthoses?

The traditional method of non-weightbearing casting involves correcting the foot position in a lab, by someone who interprets your prescription.

We take a weight-bearing mould and correct your foot position during this process. We believe this provides a more comfortable and functional orthotic with a reduced wear-in time without compromising the control.

Customised Orthoses:

To make your customised orthoses, we take a weight bearing mould to construct an insert completely specific to your feet. We select from a large variety of the most appropriate materials – hard or soft – suited to your feet and your footwear. The advantages are simple: Highly personalised insoles for maximum comfort and function.

Semi-customised Orthoses:

Semi-customised insoles are highly modifiable and have greater durability than offshelf devices. They are made to a standard template but available in more specific sizes and several styles and materials to suit specific feet. They are great for growing feet -durable, supportive yet still cost effective.

Premade or Offshelf orthotics:

These are made to a standard template and come in several sizes. They are generally modifiable to your feet. The advantage is cost-effectiveness and speed of implementation, however the durability is the compromise.
