Custom Foot Orthotics are inserts, custom to your feet, that are placed in your footwear designed to correct and improve your structure and overall mechanical function.
Orthotics act in 2 main ways:1) Structurally support your feet and ankle to relieve pain, stress and strain from your muscles and joints.
2) Increase the amount of neural input into you feet to help you increase your balance, strength and coordination.
