Foot & Ankle
Insoles, Raises & Footwear Adaptations
Orthotic insoles provide a stable base of support for the body and can reduce strain on the foot and lower limb, improving comfort and function during standing and walking.
Assessment includes range of movement, muscle strength, ligament integrity, and weight-bearing status, assessed both non-weightbearing and during gait to fully understand biomechanics contributing to symptoms.
Insoles are most effective when used with appropriate footwear. Severn Orthotics provides footwear assessment and guidance, ensuring suitability for orthotic use across daily, sport, and specialist footwear.
Following surgery, some people may develop a leg length discrepancy (LLD), which can affect rehabilitation and may contribute to long-term joint or back pain. Addressing this with a carefully designed raise can significantly improve comfort, balance, and recovery.
Restricted movement in the foot and ankle—whether following surgery or due to conditions such as osteoarthritis—can lead to pain and compensatory movement patterns. The appropriate footwear or footwear adaptations can help improve alignment, restore more natural movement, and support a smoother gait cycle.
