Your Insoles/Orthotics may initially feel slightly strange due to the realignment of the foot, and redistribution of pressure and will therefore require a gentle breaking in period. You should initially only wear your insoles for 1 hour and gradually build up the wear time over 2 – 3 weeks. After this they should be able to be worn all day. Sometimes with a lot of correction it can take longer. You can wear them until your feet start to feel tired or uncomfortable then remove them and you can increase your time from there.

The results of the biomechanical assessment will take into consideration several factors. These include the patient’s age, range of motion, occupation or sports engaged in, postural alignment, and even genetic predisposition to certain physical anomalies or deformities. The results will be able to indicate the source of pain or the cause of any limb-related injury. Those suffering from foot pain can also use the results of the assessment to have foot orthoses customised according to their needs.
