Movement mechanics of the lower quarter (lower back, hips, and knees) are dictated to a large extent by the position of the foot when it contacts the ground.
Altered or poor foot positioning can be a contributing factor to many lower extremity injuries or may adversely affect sports performance. Orthotics are designed to enhance the biomechanics of the foot to improve overall alignment and maximise foot and lower quarter efficiency. At Elite Physio we will perform an evaluation of the lower quarter and provide an orthotic device to fit your specific needs and mechanical deficits. However, they do not take the place of any restorative exercises from physiotherapy. Orthotics can be used to treat a variety of injuries and often work best in addition to other services provided (for example manual therapy, exercises, dry needling if required).
