Orthotics at APC Physio

Expert Care for Foot, Knee, Hip, and Back Complaints

At APC Physio, we specialise in providing tailored orthotic solutions to address a variety of pain and discomfort issues. Whether you’re struggling with foot pain, knee problems, hip issues, or back complaints, our orthotics aim to offer relief, improve your function, and help you feel stronger with every step.

Our approach combines expert orthotic solutions with personalised rehabilitation plans, addressing the root causes of your pain. This often means that over time, many of our clients find they don’t require orthotics at all.

Using only orthotics can help but only so much. You have your own structures in your foot to support the arch. We want to train these too. Getting them to rely on external support only can decondition them more.

For example, if there is a weakness in a muscle group the orthotic alone approach will help with foot position and have a knock on effect up the kinetic chain but it will not correct the weakness.

This is where a detailed assessment to accurately identify the weak areas, combined with hands on treatment and orthotics to relieve pain and correct positional faults allow reprieve.

Then specific corrective exercises will help address the weakness.

End result, supported foot, better foot mechanics, good balance and symmetry throughout the body and above all no pain.

What Are APC Physio Orthotics?

Orthotics are specialised devices designed to support, align, and enhance the function of the feet. They are often custom-made or prefabricated insoles or shoe inserts tailored to address specific movement related issues such as Fallen Arch,Hallux Valgus (Bunion), Plantar Fascia, Diabetic Foot, Pes Planus, Pes Cavus, Ankle Instability etc

The Benefits of Orthotics

By redistributing pressure, supporting key areas of the feet, and improving biomechanics, orthotics can help you move comfortably and confidently. Orthotics offer numerous benefits for foot health and overall wellbeing. The correct orthotics can:

Reduce Foot Pain and Discomfort

Orthotics are particularly effective for conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or heel spurs.

Improve Alignment

Orthotics support proper alignment of the knees, hips, and lower back, reducing strain on these areas.

Enhance Shock Absorption

Orthotics alleviate stress on joints by cushioning impacts during movement.

Promote Better Posture and Gait

Orthotics optimise biomechanics, reducing the risk of injuries and enhancing mobility.

By redistributing pressure, stabilising key areas of the feet, and correcting imbalances, orthotics help you move with greater comfort, confidence, and ease.
