Orthotics, bracing & gait analysis

Getting to the root of foot, ankle and lower-limb pain — how you move

Many foot, ankle and lower-limb problems come down to biomechanics: how you stand, walk and load your feet. By analysing your gait in detail, we can design custom orthotics and specialist bracing that support, correct and offload — easing pain and improving how you move.

At our Belfast clinic, this is led by clinicians with deep MSK and biomechanical expertise, using precise assessment to build a device and plan tailored to you.

A complete biomechanical approach

Assessment, design and support that work together to treat the cause of your pain — not just the symptoms.

Gait & biomechanical analysis

We assess how you stand, walk and run to understand the forces acting on your feet and lower limbs — and what's driving your pain.

Custom orthotics

Precision-made insoles, cast or scanned to your feet, to support, align and offload — reducing pain and improving how you move.

Specialist bracing

Advanced supports for more complex foot and ankle conditions, including the Richie Brace, to improve stability and function.

What it can help with

Orthotics, bracing and gait analysis can help a wide range of foot, ankle and lower-limb conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Achilles tendon pain
  • Flat feet, high arches and other foot-type issues
  • Ankle instability and complex foot deformities
  • Arthritis and joint pain in the foot and ankle
  • Sports, overuse and recurring gait-related injuries
