Pain slows us down and makes our bodies feel unnatural and awkward.  Gait compensations as a result of pain often cause injuries to other areas.

Careful re-alignment of your feet and legs change the way your body works, allowing affected joints time to heal.  Correctly prescribed Orthotic insoles can have a profound effect on the way you walk and run, improving your bio-mechanics, giving enhanced balance and control affecting your entire musculo-skeletal system by:

• Offloading key painful areas of your feet
• Increasing comfort
• Protecting against weakness and instability
• Improving muscular efficiency and performance

Diagnostic Assessment Insoles

The design of each orthotic insole is critical in achieving the best outcome for you, ensuring the appropriate level of correction will suit your unique needs.  Your initial assessment appointment will be 45min long. During this appointment we will assess your posture and your gait and you may be offered the opportunity of a running trial with assessment insoles.

This trial allows you first hand experience of postural foot re-alignment as discussed during your session. You will feel an immediate increase in support and stability as your new insoles correct your posture. These insoles can be customised extensively to meet your individual requirements, providing levels of control on a par with custom devices but unfortunately provide very little shock absorption for runners.

Custom-made Everflex Orthotic Insoles

These high specification insoles are recommended as a permanent treatment option as they offer additional shock absorbency, comfort and dynamic flexibility making them the product of choice for the most active individuals.  These are perfect for running, tennis, hill walking, badminton, rugby, football and many more sports.  Each unique prescription is CAD  fabricated for accuracy and repeatability and are warranted for 18 months against breakage in normal use.

Each insole is easily swapped between old and new footwear, although custom-made insoles designed for running and sport will generally not be suitable for use in regular/day shoes.  Custom insoles are available for slim fitting footwear and are specially designed to provide the maximum support within low volume high heeled footwear up to a heel height of 70mm.

Super- thin, Flexible Construction

Comprising of a highly flexible carbon shell and comfortable shock absorbing coverings, these revolutionary insoles move dynamically with your feet, responding to the surfaces you are moving over, allowing a much more natural gait.

Each insole is hand finished and tailored to suit your specific requirements.

Sophisticated assessment kits allow you to “try before you buy”

All Ever-flex  insoles are guaranteed for 18 months and are guaranteed for life never to crack or break.

 

3D CAD CAM

(Computer aided design computer aided manufacture)

Recent advances in computer controlled manufacture and material technology allow the use of a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) carver to produce orthotic devices that are repeatable, reliable and precisely manufactured.

CAD fabrication permits the greatest accuracy and repeatability of any current design of custom insole.

These super-lightweight, long-lasting insoles are the international product of choice for thousands of sports participants.
