Feet have a severe impact on the day-to-day function of our body and our quality of life. Our feet support us during our daily activities – on average we walk eight to 10,000 steps a day and over 150,000km in a lifetime.

When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in your walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and biomechanics. These changes can cause pain in our feet, knees, hip and lower back.

In most situations choosing better footwear and custom-made orthotics will help correct your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements.

Custom-made orthotic look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances custom-made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortable as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise measurements of your gait (the way we walk).

Orthotics Works provides innovative, comfortable orthotics that is a pleasure to wear, gently reducing problems associated with pressure points, muscle strain and abnormal forces on the ankles, knees, hips and spine. Over time, prescribed custom orthtotic support will bring you relief from fatigue and pain, allowing you to enjoy daily activities comfortably.
