Sports Orthotics
If you’re looking for help with sports orthotics in Coffs Harbour, you’ve come to the right place. Sure Step provides a professional sports orthoses diagnostic, design, and fitting service for sports people of all levels.
Sports orthotics are specially designed customised orthotics that support and protect the feet during sports activities. They are designed to help the foot maintain proper alignment, support and cushion the foot, and help redistribute weight evenly across your foot. As a result, sports orthotics reduce the risk of injury and improve the athlete’s performance. Furthermore, they help to prevent overuse injuries, compensate for muscle imbalances, and relieve pain and pressure in the feet, ankles and hips.
At Sure Step Podiatry in Coffs Harbour, we provide a comprehensive assessment to ensure that the orthotics are suitable for each individual’s sporting needs. So, our experienced podiatrists will assess your feet and legs and consider the activity you’ll be doing and your medical history. Then, after a detailed biomechanical and gait assessment, which may include video gait assessment and cutting-edge Zebris treadmill analysis, our podiatrist will formulate a customised orthotic prescription suited to your individual needs.
In addition to helping with sports performance, orthotics can also help with rehabilitation. For example, we can design orthotics to support specific areas of the foot or to help correct imbalances or misalignment and relieve pain. During rehabilitation, orthotics can help reduce inflammation and pain, accelerate healing, and improve mobility and flexibility.
At Sure Step Podiatry, we believe that every person should be able to enjoy the sport they love. So, whether you’re looking to improve your performance, prevent injury or aid rehabilitation, our team of expert sports podiatrists is here to help.
