Customised Total Contact Orthotics Making is a specialised service at Footcare Clinic focused on the design and fabrication of fully customised foot orthotics that conform precisely to the entire plantar surface of each individual’s foot. This total-contact approach aims to address the root causes of foot and lower-limb problems, optimise weight distribution, reduce abnormal pressure, and enhance comfort and function in daily activities.

The Concept of Total Contact Orthotics

Total Contact Orthotics are designed to maintain uniform contact with the whole sole of the foot, allowing pressure to be evenly distributed and minimising excessive load on specific areas. Unlike off-the-shelf insoles, these orthotics provide biomechanically accurate support, helping control foot motion, improve alignment, and prevent recurrent injuries.
