Your feet are the foundation of your body’s movement. How they function impacts your knees, hips, and back. A Biomechanical Assessment at Fine Podiatry Clinic involves a detailed analysis of your foot structure, walking pattern (gait), and lower limb alignment to identify any issues contributing to pain or inefficiency. Based on this assessment, we may prescribe Custom Orthotics – specialised medical insoles designed precisely for your feet – to provide support, improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance overall foot function for patients here in Singapore.

Understanding your unique foot mechanics is key to effective treatment. Choosing our professional service ensures:

Accurate Diagnosis:

• We identify the specific biomechanical factors contributing to your foot, ankle, knee, or lower back pain.

Truly Personalised Solutions:

• Unlike generic, over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are prescribed based on a comprehensive assessment and crafted precisely to your individual foot structure and needs.

Targeted Pain Relief:

• Orthotics can effectively alleviate pain associated with various conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, heel spurs, and tendonitis by correcting underlying mechanical stress.

Improved Foot Function & Stability:

• Enhance your balance, support your arches, and improve the efficiency of your gait.

Long-Term Support:

Addressing biomechanical issues can help prevent future problems and support your active lifestyle.

Our process is thorough yet straightforward:

Comprehensive Consultation:

1. We begin by discussing your symptoms, activity levels, footwear, medical history, and treatment goals.

Biomechanical Examination:

1. This involves a series of assessments while you are sitting, standing, and walking/running:

Physical Assessment:

1. 1. Checking joint range of motion, muscle strength, and foot posture. This will include non weight-bearing and weight-bearing assessments

Gait Analysis:

1. 1. Observing how you walk or run to identify abnormalities in your movement patterns. (Concept: We analyze how your feet and legs move together to pinpoint sources of stress or inefficiency.)

Orthotic Prescription (If Required): If custom orthotics are deemed beneficial, we take precise measurements of your feet. This often involves using 3D scanning technology. (Concept: This captures the unique contours and requirements of your feet to create a truly custom device.)
Device Fitting & Follow-Up: Once your custom orthotics are fabricated by a specialised lab, you’ll return for a fitting appointment. We ensure the orthotics fit comfortably in your shoes and provide instructions on how to wear them in gradually. Follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
