Sport has become a daily activity in most of our lives. Even as we walk ,the force equal to 4 times our body weight is transferred through our feet.

Unfortunately lower limb injuries arise but they can prevented and treated with rehabilitation and orthotic therapy.

Orthotics are custom made inserts for the inside of shoes that can alleviate painful joints and prevent possible surgical correction of such deformities. Runners and athelets commonly wear orthotics aiding the biomechanics of their lower limbs.

Orthotics help correct foot function and muscle imbalances that are the primary cause of sporting injuries.

Walkers ,runners, rugby golf squash tennis players and footballers along with all weight bearing sports people can benefit.

Shoes are not the primary cause of bunions and hammer toes although they can worsen painful feet Most toe problems are directly related to poor foot function and are also hereditory.

Corns and callous can be maintained by regular chiropody or resolved altogether by undergoing minor operative procedures by a podiatric surgeon.
