A bit More detail.

The use of Orthotics can relieve long term muscle and joint pains caused by incorrect posture, and function.

They can also prevent future injuries and enhance sporting performance.

Sure Clinic’s Orthotics are custom made allowing for optimal control enabling your body to function to its full potential.

How Orthotics Work

The development of your Sure orthotics involves anatomy, gait and foot pressure analysis and the subsequent engineering of high specification materials. An orthotic is intended to mechanically compensate for a skeletal malalignment. Orthotics can be used to:

• Control, encourage, guide, limit or immobilize movement of joints
• Promote or restrict muscle actions
• Reduce or redirect weight bearing forces to minimise shock and maximise propulsion
• Aid rehabilitation from fractures and accommodate deformities or asymmetries in bone structures
• Correct the shape and/or function of the body, to provide easier movement capability, reduce pain, and slow the rate of joint degradation

Muscle imbalances alter the range of motion available at joints.

Tight muscles limit the range of motion available at a joint.

Muscle groups work in pairs to flex and extend joints. If one group is stronger than the other it misaligns the joint.  Poor joint congruency increases wear on the joint.

Our feet provide our main interface with the world around us. The way we interact with the ground affects the way we move. 

The way the foot strikes the ground when we walk affects our whole movement pattern.

Too much internal rotation through the feet internally rotates the leg and the pelvis translates forward.

This increases the lordosis (forward curvature) in the lower back, which can increase back pain.

The nervous system controls muscle movements. If nervous innervation is interrupted, movement patterns are affected.

Strength and Conditioning Exercises

As part of your recommendations following an assessment, we may choose to recommend certain strength and conditioning exercises.



These simple yet effective exercises could get you standing longer and walking further. Your routine may also result in stronger ankles, greater mobility, improved balance, better posture and more energy. Most importantly, these exercises could prevent osteoarthritis. Exercise routines are essential to every client's treatment programme and contribute enormously to an improvement in your condition.

The exercise routines only take between 3-5 minutes each day, you can easily incorporate them into your daily life. You can do them whilst going about your daily rituals, for example whilst cleaning your teeth, in the shower, in the office, or even whilst waiting for the bus. The important thing to remember is that you must complete them every day.

Understand that it's not unusual to feel a bit sore when you first start performing Your body has to adapt and that will take a little time, but the benefits are long term, so be patient - Everything worthwhile takes time and effort. So, with no more than 5 minutes each morning, these exercises will go a long way to preventing future problems.
