What is the purpose of orthoses, and will they be necessary for me?
​

Once we complete an advanced gait analysis, we'll thoroughly discuss our findings and the steps needed to address your specific concerns. Orthotics are passive devices designed to mitigate forces and correct issues related to foot and lower limb function, ultimately influencing the body's kinetic dynamics. At The Functional Podiatrist, our approach involves educating patients about their movement patterns and incorporating orthotics as a complementary component of therapy.

​

Foot orthotics can be employed to rectify irregularities in gait timing, the distribution of forces across joints, or the overloading of tissues. Importantly, they are always prescribed alongside a comprehensive exercise rehabilitation program aimed at rectifying flawed movement patterns.

Regarding insurance coverage, it's essential to note that medical devices are generally not covered in the UK. However, some international insurance providers may offer coverage for such expenses. We recommend checking with your insurance provider before your appointment to clarify your coverage options.
