orthotics

Today’s hard surfaces like footpaths, hard floors and flat surfaces are not what our feet were designed to deal with!  The human foot was originally designed to travel on soft surfaces like earth and sand.  Unfortunately over 50% of the population deals with this by “rolling over” of the foot, or “excess pronation” as a way of gaining ground contact.  Basically, the arches in our feet flatten and this can cause a wide range of common complaints.  The resulting poor alignment can disrupt the normal function of our knees, hips and muscles in our lower backs. 

Some of the common problems that can occur include heel pain, knee pain, back pain, tired aching legs, flat feet, corns, calluses, bunions – and the list goes on!  If you suffer from any of these complaints, your physiotherapist may recommend orthotics.  Orthotics treat the cause of these complaints, not just the symptoms, by restoring the lower limb’s natural angle and aligning the feet and body posture to their neutral position.  Invented by a podiatrist and based on many years of bio mechanical research, VASYLI orthotics come in a wide range of products and your physiotherapist will help you with the best orthotics to suit you.
