Custom Orthotics are very important in the physical therapy world because they help relieve pain in the feet while impacting the rest of your body. When there is a slight change in the way you walk, this sets off a chain reaction that may be detrimental to your posture. With poor posture, there is an increased risk of back and neck pain making foot health extremely important for the overall body. At our physiotherapy clinics, we sell Langer orthotics which is known to relieve foot pain, correct imbalance issues and restore your feet back to proper alignment.

Langer Biomechanics did some studies prior to becoming involved in orthotic therapy  and they realized that 25% of all human bones are located in the feet. With the average person taking approximately 10,000 steps per day, they need correct posture and alignment in an effort to avoid any food injuries. The average person will walk at over 100,000 miles in their lives which is more than four tips around the world. Langer Biomechanics also found that women have as much as 4x the foot problems as men as a direct result of poor fitting footwear like high heels. Lastly, Langer discovered that nearly 75% of the total population would experience some sort of foot problem at some point and they wanted to help.

Langer orthotics help with the following conditions: foot pain, bunions, hammertoes, arch pain, heel pain, neck pain, hip pain, and lower back pain. They make different orthotics designed for any lifestyle. For example, there are sport orthotics, fashion orthotics, functional orthotics, and other types designed for function and rehabilitation.
