Orthotics are insoles designed to correct foot function and improve overall alignment. Poor foot function can lead to discomfort or pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, or back.

​

Our team has received extensive training in biomechanics and orthotic prescription. Combined with advanced foot assessment technology, we can provide precise insights into your foot, leg, hip, and back movements during the gait cycle.

​

Prescription orthotics help alleviate pain by realigning and stabilizing the bones in your feet, restoring your natural walking pattern. Made from thermo-memory plastic, they are slightly flexible, offering excellent comfort. Many people wear them daily without them being noticeable.

Our Gaitscan pressure plate represents the latest in foot assessment technology. As you walk across the plate, thousands of tiny sensors capture the distribution of pressure within your foot over time, offering a detailed analysis of your gait. The resulting report provides valuable insights, allowing us to assess foot function and determine whether faulty foot mechanics are contributing to your pain.

​

If appropriate, your scan data and clinical information will be securely sent to a lab, where your custom orthotics are created. These typically arrive within ten working days for fitting.

"I went to Mr Rob Hill with runners knee. This condition was impacting with my training significantly. Rob showed empathy towards a runner which most healthcare professional would not. Rob diagnosed my condition and implemented a treatment program involving custom made orthotics from Canada, rehabilitation exercises and massage. I am now on schedule to get a Boston marathon qualifying time. If you are a runner with an injury who wants to carry on training see Rob Hill." Dr Sunil Sharma

"I was treated by Rob Hill for a persistent hamstring and lower back complaint. His manipulation skills were fantastic and after very few sessions and some well prescribed physio exercises I'm back playing football with no pain. The clinic is wonderful and the staff were very helpful. I have also returned for gait scan and had custom built orthotic inner soles for my shoes. Would recommend these guys to anyone."  Mr Robin Evans

"Whilst prescribed medication alleviated the pain caused by Plantar Faciitis I needed a more permanent and pill free solution so I attended Osteopathy First and I’m delighted to report that the treatments coupled with the advice on exercises and which insoles to use have substantially reduced the discomfort and enabled me to stop popping pills. Thanks Hannah" Mr Terry McSweeny

"Having seen many specialists without success, a friend recommended I visit Osteopathy First to see if they could treat the persistent pain in my knees I got when running. They recommended and fitted Orthotics. Before seeing Osteopathy First I couldn't train for more than a few months without getting injured. But thanks to their help I am now able to train consistently. This has meant I have been able to run 3 Marathons in the past year, which simply would not have been possible before. I can't thank Osteopathy First enough and would recommend their friendly and professional service to anyone." Mr Andy Mutton
