Custom Orthotics to Restore Comfort, Support and Movement, Harley Street
Your feet are the foundation of your body. Every step you take relies on them to provide stability, absorb impact and support your movement from the ground up. When foot mechanics are compromised, it doesn’t just cause foot pain, it can affect your knees, hips and lower back too.
Custom orthotics are designed to correct imbalances, improve alignment and optimise how your feet function during walking, running and daily activity. By enhancing shock absorption and redistributing pressure more effectively, orthotics can help reduce pain, improve mobility and prevent recurring injuries.
Investing in your foot health means investing in your whole-body movement, helping you stay active, comfortable and confident on your feet.

Conditions Custom Orthotics Can Help With
Custom orthotics are often recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Flat feet or fallen arches
- High arches
- Overpronation or poor foot alignment
- Achilles tendon pain
- Shin splints
- Knee pain linked to foot mechanics
- Hip or lower back pain influenced by poor biomechanics
- Recurrent sports injuries
- General foot fatigue or discomfort
By addressing the underlying biomechanical imbalance, orthotics can help reduce strain and prevent symptoms from recurring.
How Custom Orthotics Help
Your feet act as the foundation of your body. When they do not function efficiently, it can create a chain reaction of stress throughout the lower limbs and spine.
Custom orthotics work by:
- Improving foot alignment
- Supporting the arch and stabilising movement
- Redistributing pressure more evenly across the foot
- Enhancing shock absorption
- Reducing excessive strain on muscles, tendons and joints
This improved biomechanical efficiency can help relieve pain, improve mobility and allow you to return to daily activities, exercise and sport with greater comfort and confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts designed specifically for your feet. Unlike off the shelf insoles, they are created following a detailed biomechanical assessment to correct alignment issues, improve support and reduce pain.
How are custom orthotics different from shop-bought insoles?
Shop bought insoles provide general cushioning, but they do not address individual biomechanical problems. Custom orthotics are tailored to your foot shape, posture and movement patterns, making them more effective for long term pain relief and injury prevention.
What conditions can custom orthotics help with?
Custom orthotics are commonly used to help manage plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, Achilles tendon pain, shin splints, knee pain and lower back discomfort linked to poor foot mechanics.
How long do custom orthotics last?
With proper care, custom orthotics typically last between 1 to 3 years depending on usage levels, footwear and activity. We recommend periodic reviews to ensure they continue to provide optimal support.
Will it take time to get used to orthotics?
Yes, there is usually a short adjustment period. Most people adapt within 1 to 2 weeks as their body becomes accustomed to improved alignment and support. We provide clear guidance on how to gradually increase wear time.
Do I need a referral for custom orthotics?
No referral is required. You can book directly with our physiotherapy team for a full biomechanical assessment and personalised orthotics consultation.
