Custom Orthotics and Bracing in Hamilton
Personalised support.
Let's keep you moving comfortably
Why Orthotics and Bracing Matter
When your feet aren't properly supported, the discomfort doesn't stay in your feet. It travels up into your knees, your hips and even your lower back.
Custom orthotics and bracing work by correcting alignment, relieving pressure, and supporting your natural movement, helping you move with ease and confidence.
At Feet Forward Podiatry, we assess your unique needs and create tailored solutions that support your lifestyle, whether you’re recovering from an injury or just looking for everyday comfort.
How Orthotics and Bracing Help
A custom orthotic is a medical device made to the shape of your foot, prescribed after a biomechanical assessment to change how load passes through your foot and lower limb. It is not the same as an off-the-shelf arch support, which is made to an average foot rather than yours.
Our orthotics and braces are designed to:
Improve foot and lower limb alignment
Relieve pressure points and reduce pain
Support recovery from injuries
Improve posture and balance
Reduce strain during sports and physical activity
How Our Podiatrists Can Help
We start with a full assessment to understand your pain, your activity levels, footwear choices, and walking style (gait analysis).
Personalised Treatment Plan
Your treatment may include:
Stretching and strengthening exercises
Custom orthotics for improved support
Footwear recommendations
Strapping or bracing for stability
Pain relief products for home support
Referral to physiotherapy if needed
Ongoing Care and Prevention
We focus on not just relieving pain, but also preventing future problems. Our goal is to keep you moving comfortably and confidently.
Zebris Pressure-sensing Treadmil
We use our Zebris pressure-sensing treadmill, the only one in New Zealand, to measure exactly how your foot loads through each phase of your stride. Your orthotic is then prescribed from that data rather than from a visual estimate.
