Sports Orthotics

Hunter Physio Sports Clinic are Newcastle’s experts in sports orthotics. We can fit and supply you with sports orthotics to suit your individual sport and feet.

What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are specially designed devices that are worn inside your shoes to control abnormal foot function and improve lower limb alignment.

Physiotherapists believe that this alteration can help eliminate lower limb pain, and possibly enhance performance, through improving efficiency of gait.

Treat Your Whole Body Using Orthotics

Our bodies have a remarkable ability to adapt to musculoskeletal imbalances; often with compensations and subsequent pain in other areas of the body.

Hence, poor foot function may be a significant contributor to knee, hip and back pain, even without the presence of any foot pain.

Correcting any poor foot function and improving lower limb alignment, with a custom made physio orthotic, can help with not only foot and ankle pain; but can also significantly help with reducing knee, hip, lower back and postural spinal pain, including headaches.

Do You Need Orthotics?

At Hunter Physio Sports Clinic, our physios are experienced in assessing foot function and lower limb alignment. So if you present to our clinic for physiotherapy and you have knee pain, hip pain, back pain, foot pain or ankle pain, we can accurately determine the influence that any poor foot function or lower limb malalignment may be having on your injury.
