Orthotics & Arch Supports
Orthotics and arch supports are regularly recommended by physiotherapists, podiatrists and orthotists for the relief of foot pain, heel pain, shin pain, knee pain and back pain. Often, a biomechanical mal-alignment or lack of stability from the foot region can cause abnormal loads on the tissues of the foot and heel, shin, knee or back pain can develop as a result.
Correcting these problems using orthotics and arch supports is an important part of the injury treatment.

Orthotics and Arch Supports – Buyer’s Guide
Fallen arches or flat feet are bio-mechanical conditions that, as well as causing foot pain and heel pain, can affect your posture and gait. The fallen arch causes your foot to over-pronate (roll inwards excessively after the heel strike), giving rise to shin pain, knee pain or back pain, especially if you spend long periods on your feet or take part in sports that involve running.
This Buyer’s Guide will help you to choose the best foot orthotic or arch support to prevent and treat foot, leg or back pain caused by fallen arches or flat feet.
Full length arch cushion orthotic insoles provide support and cushioning for the foot arch, reducing levels of foot pain caused by fallen arches and flat feet. By limiting over-pronation, orthotic insoles improve foot bio-mechanics and foot stability, creating normal lower limb posture and preventing excessive loads that lead to shin, knee and back injuries.
