Have You Got Tired and Aching Feet!

We here at Total Care Podiatry may have the soultion for you:

Total Comfort Orthotics

Our new range of Total Comfort orthotics are designed for the relief of aching and tired feet.
These orthotics are made to the pressure profile of your feet when either walking or standing.
They are not corrective orthotics, nor are they designed for people who have significant structural changes in their feet.
They are primarily designed for the large number of people who don’t have a painful condition, but can’t wait to get their shoes off their aching feet at the end of the day.

Many people tell us how they love wearing their Birkenstocks, crocs (or similar designed sandals) or runners, because of the support and cushioning material. This is because the foot was never designed to stand or walk on hard flat surfaces, especially for prolonged periods of time.
Our foot is designed to adapt to the ground, a great feature when we had to walk over undulating pasture, sandy beaches or rough ground. But now we stand and walk in shoes with no support over hard flat surfaces, it’s no wonder it places a lot of strain on the arch!

Our Total Comfort orthotics provide you with support, but are designed to your pressure profile and are made of material that’s soft and supportive.
We are able to design and make these orthotics using new technology and as they are not corrective, they can be made within 2-3 days and are VERY cost effective; especially if you have the appropriate private health insurance, where the cost after rebate will usually be less than $100.00.

Steps to take to recieve your Total Comfort Orthotics

As your podiatrist has discussed with you, we feel that a pair of these orthotics are suited to your specific needs

The next step is a short appointment where we will record your plantar pressure while walking and standing.

We will also discuss footwear / shoe options with you, so we can make your orthotics fit your lifestyle.

Using this information your orthotics are milled from an “EVA” rubber blend and then covered. They are then ready to be fitted at your next appointment.

Cost of your Total Comfort Orthotics includes both the plantar pressure analysis and issue appointments.
