orthotics for running technique - footsmart podiatry

We see runners of all levels and abilities; short and long distance, competitive and beginner. Through detailed assessment and simple technique changes, we can help you to achieve more enjoyment from your running.

Whether your goal is faster times, quicker recovery or reduced injuries, our podiatrists will work with you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, correct biomechanical faults and improve your running efficiency.

Our biomechanical laboratories have state of the art, high speed, video gait software. Using this software, our podiatrists will take you through a running assessment. As a result they will capture your running technique and analyse the simple errors you may be making. Fixing these errors which many runners make, can improve running efficiency, decrease injury potential and eliminate foot pain.

Video gait analysis provides with a detailed assessment of your foot. For instance, it will highlight if custom made orthotics are needed. It will also allow them to see if your shoes are right for you and recommend the most appropriate style for your feet and lifestyle .

With a little effort, you can reduce the impact on your body, reduce your likelihood of injury and run better, for longer.
