How can Phil help you?
Is your problem due to an injury or from overuse?
The foot can often be compensating for problems originating from a higher level, for example, the hip. Sometimes, this compensation can be re-directed back and aggravate the initial problem. Foot function that aggravates back, neck pain and even headaches, is often poorly recognized.
Treatment of pain addresses the presenting symptoms and in the case of a traumatic injury, this may suffice. However in the case of an overuse injury, you need to identify the cause. Overuse injuries will settle with time and appropriate therapies, however often re-occur if the cause is not identified and treated. It is vitally important that your walking gait be analysed, and if you regularly participate in sports and fitness activities, your running gait will also be analysed.
Custom Foot Orthoses can help treat the cause
For many people, treatment of the cause involves the implementation of orthotic therapy. Custom Foot Orthoses are like prescription glasses, an aid to good function. They do not fix or cure poor foot structure, but they enhance foot function. Phil is considered and artisan due to his extensive experience in the prescription and manufactures of Custom Foot Orthoses. Digital foot scanning provides and accurate 3D representation of the foot, unlike 2D scanning provided by pressure maps. Custom foot orthoses are individually fabricated and positive foot moulds are given to the patient as proof of authenticity and to permit refurbishment when required. Different styles id custom foot orthoses can be made to fit sports shoes, business shoes, casual shoes and dress shoes, including high heels.
