Orthotics London

Prescription Orthotics, Custom Fit Orthotics London

Physio4Life is a specialist biomechanical assessment and orthotics clinic in London prescribing orthotics.

These medical insoles (orthotics) are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. They help to reduce stress on the feet, knees, hips and lower back during everyday activities like walking, running, cycling and even while standing still.

They work in a similar way to braces on your teeth, by gently exerting pressure on your feet to bring them back into proper alignment. Once your feet are working in the way they were designed to there will be reduced muscle strain, as the body does not have to try to control the poor mechanics, and shock absorption will be improved.

Runners, athletes and sports people have noticed considerable improvement in performance from wearing bespoke orthotics.

TOG Orthotics London

The orthotics we prescribe are manufactured by TOG who is the world leader in custom designed, high quality Orthotic foot insoles. They are made from unique memory flex plastics to meet your individual foot care needs (unlike most generic insoles, which tend to be made from polypropylene that has a short life span and flattens under constant stress).

Each individual insole is prescribed following an in-depth Biomechanical Analysis that incorporates the high technology of the Quintic digital video software along with TOG GaitScan™ System.

All of our high quality bespoke orthotics has a lifetime guarantee. In the unlikely event of any problem we will happily re-examine and refit your orthotics free of charge. We also offer a full 6 month free follow-up service to ensure a comfortable and effective fit.

🦶 Common Signs You Might Need Orthotics

1. Foot pain that doesn’t go away

   • Especially in the arches, heels, or balls of your feet (e.g., plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches).

2. Frequent ankle sprains or instability

   • May indicate alignment or structural issues that orthotics can help stabilise.

3. Pain in the knees, hips, or lower back

   • Misalignment in your feet can affect your posture and gait, leading to pain up the kinetic chain.

4. Uneven wear on your shoes

   • If one side of your shoe soles wears down faster, you might be overpronating (rolling in) or supinating (rolling out).

5. Standing or walking for long hours causes discomfort

   • Extra support can relieve fatigue or pressure.

6. Foot deformities or conditions

   • Such as bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, high arches, or diabetic foot issues.

7. Sports injuries or performance issues

   • Runners and athletes sometimes use orthotics to improve biomechanics and prevent overuse injuries.

🩺 When to See a Professional

If you notice persistent symptoms, it’s best to see:

• A podiatrist (foot specialist)

• A physiotherapist specialising in biomechanics

• Or a sports medicine doctor

They can perform:

• Gait analysis (how you walk or run)

• Foot pressure mapping

• Posture and alignment assessment
