Maximising The Benefit From Your Orthotics with Physical Therapy
December 3, 2017
Orthotics are one of our specialties here at Perform Podiatry. Our team are not only experts in the biomechanical function of the feet and legs but happen to be the sole teacher of orthotic prescription and creation at New Zealand’s School of Podiatry. Yes, this specialty and the way we use it to improve the lives of our patients is something we are very proud of!
We use orthotics to:
- Alter the alignment and movement of the lower limbs to reduce pressure on painful muscles, joints, ligaments and bones
- Get the feet and legs functioning optimally to get optimum performance with minimum energy output to keep you going for longer
- Correct any abnormalities in the feet or legs or variances between the lower limbs that are problematic
- Help your feet feel more comfortable so you can feel great, look great, and do the things you love without discomfort
