5 Signs You Might Benefit from Orthotic Support 🌿
Your feet are the foundation of your posture and when they’re not properly supported, the rest of your body often feels it. Here are five gentle indicators that custom orthotic insoles may be helpful for your overall comfort and alignment:
1. Persistent foot or heel pain
Ongoing discomfort in the arches or heels, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of standing, is often a sign that your feet need more structured support.
2. Flat feet or very high arches
Both can affect how your feet absorb impact, leading to strain in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Orthotics help distribute pressure more evenly and stabilise your gait.
3. Uneven wear on your shoes
If one side of your shoes wears out faster, it may reflect imbalances in the way you walk something custom orthotics can gently correct.
4. Knee, hip, or lower-back discomfort
When the feet don’t align well, the joints above them compensate. This often leads to tension or discomfort higher up in the body, especially during daily movement.
5. Fatigue after walking or standing
Feeling heavy, tired, or unstable in your legs or feet may indicate that your body is working harder than it should to maintain balance and posture.
Our custom orthotic insoles are specially made to match your feet’s unique structure, helping to support your pelvis, spine, and overall posture not just your feet.
