CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT

 

YOUR CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT

What does the assessment involve?

The assessment can take between 30 mins to an hour.

The examination is divided into two sections:
1. A static assessment during which I will check your biomechanics and take various measurements while you stand up and sitting down.

2. A dynamic assessment during which we will observe you as you walk (this may also be HD recorded) so I can analyse your gait (the way you move).

The information I gathered during your assessment and the information you supply about your complaints, activities, foot profile and overall well-being all help  me to determine the correct type of orthotic to help you. I also make three-dimensional moulds of each foot which only takes a few minutes, The moulds and measurements taken by me, are then used to manufacture a pair of custom-made orthotics/insoles for you.

The orthotics I manufacture and supply are made by myself and utilize the highest quality materials available, which are matched to the job the orthotics need to perform.
