None of us are entirely symmetrical, malalignment of the bones of the foot and lower limb can lead to the body having to compensate for these discrepancies. This imbalance puts untold stress and strain on joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments resulting in pathologies like plantar fasciitis, arch pain, corn and callus formation, bunions, toe deformities, leg and ankle imbalance and lower back pain.
A biomechanical assessment involves an examination of the feet in both weight bearing and non weight bearing situations and various joint and muscle test measurements. This gives us an idea how the abnormal mechanical stresses are affecting the foot and the lower limb , orthoses can then be provided.
This is a special insert which is worn in the shoe , it corrects and modifies foot function . They are crafted to individual specifications and are designed to treat many biomechanical pathologies
